She's probably lamenting the fact that she can't fit though the barrier like the heifer:D:D

Fcuk off??? Seriously?? Fcuk that....

if my memory serves me right anyways, i think your about that amount but open to correction here. Class parts are close but dont use them as they are a little off size wise and dont last pissing time in a krone. Sure a large roller from a class or McHale is the guts of 2k i believe.

Might put the new chains in her and use her for baling paddocks and get a lad in to bale to big cuts of silage

ah no she be right as rain with new chains. It would have new guts at that stage and the panel work looks to be in great shape.

Ye panels are in good nick. A bit faded though. When the chamber is closed the panel that is in the back door, over the damper that is broken too. Did a patch up job on that but it needs a new one

A sight for sore eyes. 3/4 bred CH calf with a "take it or leave it" mother with little milk! Milked 500ml of thick thick beastings and stomach tubed it into the calf. Not sure they would have managed themselves and it gave the calf the kickstart it needed. This is taken 4hrs later.

Good stuff. I was thinking about the cows that are due to calve today. Nothing like the sight of newborn calves around the place and the evenings starting to stretch a little every day.

Nice calf JDI, shows up my little lass!!

Healthy and happy though, mother has taken to it like a duck to water.

Will she have enough milk for the calf??

I'd a little surprise waiting for me on christmas day amongst the yearlings! There's bigger jack russels out there. Took me a while to figure out which cow it belonged to. She was 3 weeks early! A tough LM out of a motherly AA cow. Chalk and cheese when compared to last night's calf though. Once I'd the cow and calf together she was in sucking straight away

. Stomach tubed it with 1L of beastings as well just to help it along.

She'll be fine, she's a third calver. Restricted feeding for 6 weeks pre-calving is resulting in them having less springing. Plenty dairy nuts for the first few days post calving gets them well on the road though.

May get that river cleaned next year. Hasn't came up into the field yet this winter but has destroyed the field other years

Sharpshooter82 · 01-01-2014 04:52PM

Most them fields look like they are in great nick, bit of a slope really helps the drainage in fairness, its the biggest problem on my farm, flat as a pancake, fair bit of standing water at the minute!

Ye there fairly trafficable now alright. They were drained yinks ago with the clay pipes and who ever did it did a brilliant job.
I have a few pictures of covers on some of the fields but can't upload them

Jersey. Looks like you've done a decent enough job of the place. If I get a decent percentage of mine looking like that in the next few years I'll be happy.

You should have seen that field ten years ago. Pure bog, was set aside and had Sally's growing up in the clay pipe drains. And the ditches went 10-15 ft into the field. There was so much trees, they were a hedge of there own

One of the drains put in this year. There's pleasure in the simplest of things

I know exactly what you're on about. I'd the digger man clear a section like that and had to get him to come back to it again as there was still a good 5-6ft to the boundary wall!

Office of public works would have to clean it if they were responsible for it

Nah I'd don't think they have any thing to do with the river tbh. Gat lad that walks the river few times a year to check for pollution but that's about it
