Hi and hope ye are all keeping well

I got an opportunity to log onto the site at about 5.30pm today.
Been up to my eyes since ironing pillow cases, duvet covers, sheets, shirts, jocks etc and packing my youngest off to college for his second year.
I have had no time read through the threads in F&F other than "Beef in Crises" thread which as most of ye know is a financial concern of mine.
Hopefully catch up with ye towards the weekend

Was out there checking a heifer calving. A fox walked right along side me. Would a fox attack a human?

Highly unlikely in an open area like a field.
However if you were to come across one in a shed and you were blocking their only escape route, then a cornered fox will growl to warn you off their personal space.
I always bring my 3 dogs (mongrel terrier and 2 rotties) and s/s db when herding at night.
To be honest I have more of a fear of rats and pine martins than I have with foxes

A cow called Daisy · 03-09-2014 4:12am

Awake all night and still can't sleep. Have tried the "I'll get up and do some paperwork" tbought which usually sends me into dreamland but that not working either. Have slurry to spread but if I go spreading slurry at 4am then the neighbours send for the men in white coats

I feel your pain. Crashed the bike at the national Track championships, and dislocated the shoulder and broke the collarbone. They can't pin collarbone yet sip I have to ' sleep' sitting up. Tween that and the pain I haven't been able to sleep since Sat. If ya want to spread slurry do. It, fcuk what the neighbors say, it's better than lying in bed edition ghost for morning to come!

Sorry to hear your woes and hhope you feeling better soon. You probably laid uo for while with that. Was looking at old posts on here. A lot of names I never seen before with closed accounts and also a few u reckon have been reincarniated.
It to late to sleep now. Milking is my latest plan. Cows will think something wrong then

Yeah laid up for a couple of months with operation and the like. It's like being in prison so far!

Did cows look at you sideways this morning?!

A cow called Daisy · 03-09-2014 8:23am

There were a few not like being woken up. But cows milked, heifers checked, breakfast over and now slurry for the day. If in tesco my day be finished before dinnertime

No. But back any animal into a corner and you're liable to provoke an attack.

Nah, they wouldn't really bit you. They'd give you fleas though:D
It's a general rule of thumb that seeing a hedgehog in the daylight suggests there is often something wrong with him/her.

If your neighbours ring the men in white coats over spreading slurry at 4am my neighbours must think I'm a stone wall lunatic at times some of the Craic that goes on ha

Have seen more wildlife up close in my 20 plus years in London , than I did during my 18 odd years on the Farm

Most depressing thing was seeing how high a fence a fox could clear.
