    Tracks were bad. Bonnet opened twice on tractor going over them

    would a leveller & a harrow be a better option ?

    Had a cow calved to fiston yesterday I made sure he got a good suck. When I came home this evening I put him up and he put yellow scour out of him. Mother has a lot of milk would that be the cause or would I need to look about it?

    Custardy stuff or more watery? Custard is fine, depending on how much he drank it'd be thinner too. I'd not be too worried myself anyway!

    Have it done now. Our ground is very heavy and when slurry was being spread ground was soft. Ye it was a pipe fed umbilical spreader. In contrast there's a lad spreading on some of th e other ground today with a 3100 gallon tanker no bother

    I thought that myself but thanks for the reply. Now I have to get another sick to put on her. She is a He/ Fr with a big bag of milk so she will be well fit for two.

    Cause the UK is clear of avian flu or because some welfare nutters decided to take the law into their own hands.

    Most winter migrating birds are gone and the weather is warming up, reasons given. Risk down to moderate.

    Apparently more destructive than the A Bombs during WW2. 11 tonnes of boooooom. They're trying to turn ISIS into WasWas.

    Someone should ask SKY how a bomb weighting 9,797kg can contain 11 tons of explosives.......

    Would that be U.S. or British tons?:)

    What good is an Air Burst weapon against a cave/bunker system?
    You would need something that penetrates deep into the ground before exploding.
    More Murician propaganda.
    Keeps the munitions industry tickling over nicely, though.

    Ah ha! I'll take that question !

    Americans count 2000 lbs to a ton.

    So how did they fit 22000lbs (11 tons) into a bomb weighting 21,600lbs?

    must be the same black magic that makes a ton of lead the same weight as a ton of feathers :confused:

    Maybe a bit falls off it after leaving the plane and before it hits the ground.
    It's 22,000lbs leaving the plane and 21,600lbs hitting the ground.:D

    the bomb weight is sometimes described as the weight of tnt that would have the same force

    It sucks all air out of an area before it ignites it. So in a sense ignites all the cave passages

    Suppose it depends how deep they go.

    Well it had a blast radius of 1 mile so it can hit passages 1 mile long in any direction
