    I would if I was close enough, used to go around a few neighbours on Christmas Eve putting things together for them. Those were the days. Ye always left well fed and by the last house I was larger than Santa

    Fair play , I will probably get the brother to go at it , or get the wife to ask him he wont say no to her !

    I have one bill left to settle now and and eveyone is sorted before the new year thank god

    Farmers need to be careful what they get up to in front of calving cameras. Heard a story about lads in a local pub tuning in the tv to watch a nearby farmer calving a cow.:eek:

    Thats using the old setup of transmitting the signal over analogue. its not possible with the setup hugo has, his is transmitted via digital.

    Rest easy hugo no one in the local will be viewing you.

    Anyone got any tips for minimizing aggro when adding new cows to a pen on slats?

    No damage that I could see this morning on the farm. Am empty IBC tank got rolled about 60 meters uphill. It was strange to see at the top of the farm how what little grass there is there was all laid in one direction just as if it was perfectly combed. None of the neighbours trees came down and none of my walls blew down. All good here.

    spent the morning cleaning up around the yard and fixing some roadways with the loader, the rain left some "canals" that conman would have been proud of

    Leave them hungry for a few hours maybe and throw out silage before you let in the new ones?! I have no experience of it really bit it might help.

    I've surely told yas before about the bag of can we kept over last winter, I tried to load it into the spreader while hungover to fook last spring, bag was one big lump, I kept on cutting till the arse outa the bag till the whole lot came out, and burst the hopper in ****e. I try to avoid anything risky at all while hungover now!
