[colhonk]

Yep this is the 48th year.

Another barn expansion. Three robots in old barn, three being add. 300ft of milk line.

Trees turning real fast. Fish farm across the road from hotel. Pumps on the noisy side though.

'A couple of days off for the old girl.
It's a bit of a pain, but I gather that you might not expect to get 14000 hours out of a head gasket on some of the newer models

 

[Dr. Alkathene]

One or two calves to dehorn, before they go in the empty pressure washed and dry calf building

 

[hampshire-farmer]

Keep the rows wide and flat I said ...
but not that flipping wide !!!

 

[Dman2]

Yep this is the 48th year.

Gained any from Turners closing?

 

[colhonk]

A couple. Turned a few away because I generally have few spaces. Last one that has just come here last week said there is hardly anywhere to store caravans between Sedgefield and Durham,and quite a few from Turners have sold their vans because they cannot find storage, how true I do not know.

 

[Dman2]

Teesside caravan storage at the airport( I think thats the name ) had a big sign up next to Turners, so I assume a few have gone there
We got a few but are full anyway, just means I will have to turn away the few away that are just in for the winter
Turners is about empty now pretty much just the wreckers now

 

[Monty]

Finally finishing off the silage for this year. Very pleased with how much was on a couple of the fields.

Don't tell him I said so but @pastit doing a great job on the rake today. Not left as much unraked like usual

Weavy weavy. Does anybody know the feed value of oak leaves and chickweed?

Finished off with a few small fields of haylage.

Milking time

Then moved Betty over with the dry cows and big heifers to try and slim her off a bit

 

[Dman2]

What type of turner is that??

It's a lely rotonde and we now have 2 of those for some reason plus another rollabar rake for good luck

 

[DRC]

Started my heifers on the fodder crop today . They charged around a bit , but thankfully the electric fence survived. Will strip graze them once they get on top of the first bit.
Bringing them back onto grass at night for a while
