Today at work

[Steevo]

Not worth it for the short time that it will be there, always a hassle with a sheet if you are using a few every day - folding it etc, also I have sheeted stacks before and had a mouse go through in a low way on top and soaked everything to the ground.

I do have mice this year more than usual, they even pose for photos.

Is that from a phone camera?

Bit of turf, an apple and you could be onto £1000 of new photographic equipment!!!

Had worse days

 

[Lodekka]

Rob is that pigeon poo on your gas gun?

No it's mud from the trip down the track

I thought it might be, just found it amusing that in the photo it looks similar to pigeon poo.

Pictures from deepest darkest Africa where at least the sun is shining

Caught some more heifers in the heifer trap.

Didn't need to catch this batch of cows and calves they piled in as soon as I opened the gate.

Stanley decided that he needed a mud-pack facial to improve his complexion.

We have got the muddiest half of the cattle in now, it is a relief even though it means more work.

Do you not trust your gate pins with double loop of twine

Another day of wet day jobs

More kindling ready for YFC log sale

Blowing leaves with the JCB in attendance

Shovelled some wheat out the door way as we removed the door barriers

Got the bowser set up for a few fertiliser transfers tomorrow

We are string addicts, anything that might move gets tied, if that lot got out then there would be no catching them for weeks in that wild country.

Big boats

 

[Landrover]

Back on the tools as it's wet new staircase fitted, safer now as old staircase had treads around 6 1/2in deep, fine if you have really small feet !

This mornings job, swap over to other wheels, as the driver ran for a few miles on a burst one before he noticed it.
(First picture was Sunday mornings airport run)

Had to go and scrounge a 3/4 drive socket to undo some of the nuts, my full weight bouncing on the end of the bar got them moving, two are needing replaced as they just spun when I went to tighten them, curse the people who use impact guns to tighten stuff!

 

[HappyShep76]

Lovely day to get the last of the maiden heifers moved back home.

 

[Vincent]

Beautiful fields/scenery you got there. Really like the railings.

It always looks pretty at this time of the year when the leaves start to turn

It looks nicer in Suffolk than here in sunny Essex, I saw the wagon go along and wondered what Ed was hiding in there this time.

Meanwhile....

Found the back wall of the muck pad after 157 loads - not many of them lately but a few today to finish the season.

One of my assistants had a little bother whilst filling the ready bins. It was sunny then for about 10 minutes.

Pre-ems finished on the wheat.

 

[spanners and hammers]

There were two of them there most of the day, I am glad that it was included in the (horrendous) purchase price.

Such a shame that Does are losing the Manitou dealership at the end of the year, no idea why.

well if the manitou dept don't reply to emails for quotes for new machines like the crane dept they deserve to lose it
