Anyone know a good place to look for water troughs? I'm looking for a few difrent ones. Doubles for calving pens, strong steel for bull pen and a few others?

The farm van, it's what I learned to drive in so it's seen better days. Funnily enough the fella even put us down for a fail minor for having tinted windows. It was never mentioned any other year before this!!

Hard luck. Hopefully you can get the mechanical problems sorted cheaply.
TBH I never heard of failing due to tinted windows.

Neither did I! Three fail minors on silly bits and one fail major on the brake disc that tipped us over to the big F. Ah well, next time! Mechanic already has the list and will be done next week.

Was just out for a long walk, lovely night.

The weather is fantastic considering the time of year. After hunting yesterday, OH and I stood out in the yards/driveway at dusk watching bats flying about the place. We got a good idea on where to place bat boxes if we get approval for the Glas scheme.
I reckon that most of the time we are so busy paying bills and playing catch up that we cannot take the time and appreciate what is about us

I can still hear bats funnily enough, love watching them swooping about over the hayshed and old house. I found one once in the middle of the kitchen floor of a locked house we rent out, no idea how it got in as the stove was closed and all windows/doors locked.

Hope it wasn't you and the OH in the lane to our cows with a dog yesterday, seen the tracks earlier and one of our pheasants was missing
Oh! And we had a gallon feeder filled with wheat in the field with the sucklers. One of the feckers of cows learned how to lick the bottom bit to open it and had a feast for herself.

Wouldn't be to worried bout the brake disc anyways, can get a new set of front discs and pads for well under €100 for most yokes now, not worth going gettin old rusty yokes of a scrapper that you won't know if there warped till ya drive on them anymore IMO, I know it was €68for pads and discs for a fiesta, was €110 for the golf alright but that was the bigger spec discs not the standard golf ones

Kiddo, no offence but you need to talk to a professional about your personal circumstances. I have been down that road so I think I am qualified to comment.

Good that you got a full nights sleep. Be careful bud. Last thing we want to be asking each other on here that we haven't heard from ya in a while.

Off to the dentist now and have to round up the four batches of cattle when I get back for the stupid second herd test. If it's the cranky vet he'd better have a good memory as I won't be warning him of the cows that have perfected their head swing and snort timing for maximum vet scaring and bruising.

(Sorry greysides :pac::o)

Is it much bother to get a herd number. Have just under 20 acres (10-13 acres of it is alright land) and would like to get into dry stock as a hobby as much as anything.
