Why did you put the cattle away?
why did i stop keeping cattle ?well a whole host of reasons, one there stopped to be any profit in it,also with the new regulations water (pollution)it would have involved a lot of investment,with brexit and the lack of confidence i have in the future i did not feel like going to seni bridge and knighton and investing £100.000 in store cattle ,my son and partner in the farm enterprise has no interest in cattle he prefers sheep ? ? and i am 67 and don't bounce very well there was a time when i could nose a beast and put it on the floor, but those days have gone, oh yes i nearly forgot TB we have three holdings and its a pain to have to round them up and bring them home for testing we are always contiguose (cant spell it) one neighbour or another is down all the time and then there is the tracers
 
Went to check drainage pump , lifts it 5 metres int river and a bit of wheat after spuds drilled mid October , had to plough it to bring a bit of dry up , nice bit of silt with a corner of black
