    Just after doing my Christmas good deed,a b****x! has 10 acres of wettish ground down road....lands around 10 cows into it every October and expects it to feed them...tonight they inevitably broke out...a non farming neighbour rang to say there were cattle on road after 7pm...straight away I knew whose they would be....went out and got help from next car along road to put them back in yer mans land...another neighbour rang Hom to say his cattle were out on road and got impression from him he would rather watch TV than go check it out!!
    People like him give farmers a bad name.

    we used to keep bull in there with a pen of bullocks and he helped him self to two of our young heifers one year so we stopped that :D.. hes going up in the other open shed not away from cows and heifers .... we had the odd cow make attempts at jumping so a stitch in time and all that .

    A case of compare and contrast alright! How many acres did you sow for them? And how many weeks will they get out of it?
