Today at work

[Little squeak]

I know they’re weeds but I wonder if these are the type of wildflower meadows that are said to have all but disappeared?

The flowers look great but I don't suppose there is much feeding value there, what are they? they look like dandylions but they were over ages ago here.

Those new style big masseys look horrible and yet the new 5s range look alot better and a throw back to the old mf's. Rv pugh has a vid of the launch on its fb page, the new version of the massey you have bought

Not as good a job as others but think I got them polished fairly well

Raining all day here again in sunny Essex.

After compulsory animal jobs making new garden gate in the workshop.

Spring barley coming along.

Not sure what has grown in the winter bird cover plot but I hope that the birds enjoy it.

They’re catsear, or false dandelion. These fields tend to get hammered in early spring as they’re closest to the buildings so get used for lambing. White clover is growing well underneath but you wouldn’t get many bales off it!

We are practicing at the moment and using it to clear up after the pickers have done a first pick. It isn't doing much damage at all and leaving very few behind the biggest problem is sorting out the jumble of beans we get. Do you have sorting tables or similar?.

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Shifted a cattle grid from an obsolete spot to front gates.

Cut panel out and moved it to strainer side

Will make a gate for rear and add signage when it turns up.

yes we have sorting tables I am starting to manufacture tables to go on bean harvesters to be sold on as an upgrade.

Bit of muck hauling today

 

[ColinV6]

Had the vet in for fortnightly routine visit and everything we PD’d was in calf! So happy with that and I went to mow down some grass that got away from the cows. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet, in the pit or make some hay, depends on the weather.

I'm not claiming to be any sort of expert on catsear as all I know about it is what I have found out in the last ten minutes, but this doesn't give it a good write up if fed to horses. https://wagwalking.com/horse/condition/catsear-poisoning sorry to be the bearer of bad news, if you mow this field yearly and have had no bad effects maybe the link is just a scare story

Tbh I had to look them up to find out what they are!
We don’t have hay burners horses here and the mowing reference was more to do with the density of it. It will all be grazed shortly.

Took a mob of calves out to grass, then off to do a neighbours silage !

 

[snarling bee]

No pictures, but we all did a First Aid course.
