Did you get it baled before tonights rain?

 

[Beames]

Today at work I Sold an Angus stock bull then tedded 20 acres of hay, checked around all cattle, took water to one bunch who’s stream has dried up, then loaded a trailer of last years hay for my father to deliver. All this with a broken arm it would appear after falling over this morning before starting work. Thought my arm was hurting a bit!!

Tried to shut new hens in last night as normal, 5 ended up roasting high up in nearby trees.

Dont take me wrong on this but we are a lot further south than you and are used to drier weather

Nope. Still, weather forecast for the next few days is good.
