    Cutting branches off trees all day here. Grand day for it. And a new chainsaw helps as well. No comparison to the old one

    Husqvarna, 16inch bar I think. Don't know what model. I havent the slitest interest in wood ha. But the saw is a pure beast to go. Ye would cut up a decent size tree in 40 minutes not a bother

    they probably brought it over to the north after the last foot&mouth outbreak. For dozing the bodies into pits or pyres .. I would keep well away.

    The thought did enter my head, but that's a fair while ago now.

    I was only being sarcastic. would be a grand tool for a sand pit, stubbing wins, etc. I suppose the tracks are too smooth for it to be any use to pull a mole plough?

    My maiden heifers are still coughing in the shed. They've been in for the past 8 weeks and were dosed over 3 weeks ago now with albex. There getting ibr vaccine next week. Would that make any difference?

    Have 2 dry cows out on a dry field about a 350m away from the house as the crow flies. But by road we have to go down a long lane to get to it.
    A house is very slowly being renovated on it and yesterday evening round 5ish a neighbour noticed that a petrol cement mixer had been brought from the house up to the road. Rang us to see if we had noticed it when feeding the cows at 4.
    Nope, we'd seen nothing or nobody.
    So he rang the owner of the house, thinking it had been a rented one and was going back. Definitely not, says he, so away went the mixer to the neighbours shed.

    Keep an eye on anything that looks a bit out of place folks...:pac:

    Do boating shoes come with steel toecaps, or would they fall under the jurisdiction of divers shoes, like the lads with the brass helmets :cool:
