I know a local farmer who caught coursers on his land and pushed their truck into a ditch. The police didn't like what he had done but their hands were tied on private property. The coursers came back the next night and stole his trailer!

Only a small cow but never fails to deliver ! Next challenge is getting her in !
There must be something in the air this morning, I had an unexpected arrival too!

It was amusing to watch the dog learn the hard way that fresh calvers need a slightly different approach from the other girls!
Then he learnt that trying to run and hide behind me resulted in my boot up his backside!!

90% of it you could of followed with drill ,but some bits just too wet ,even where some water stood it was ploughing dry up ,but when water pushing down furrow bottom ,was like wet concrete ,it will soon dry ,as plough was downto the gravel underneath ,if it comes dry next spring dont be suprized to see a pic of irrigator on spring barley to keep it alive
