    I'm just wondering was FL22 any good for milk?:D:D I see MBP has a calving difficulty of 7.4% which isn't too bad at all. Suppose I shouldn't be judging him on one small fat cow.

    Is this where I have been going wrong all these years :eek:

    They're set in concrete, had to quarry out the stones from the top of the shore years ago to make pots for the concrete, then a wall running under the fence, was a lot of fun.......... But it held well in fairness.

    Had to be done, the sheep were going down into the shore past the fence and going miles. Didn't think the stakes would have lasted this long tbh.

    Did something similar next to a lake but we just had to reverse the tractor as far back as it would go into the water

    Lol, while I was slipping & sliding in the shore I was wondering how a tractor and post banger would get on :D

    Lots of fencing jobs on this week. Pretty much every fence the ould fella has near the sea has been damaged or destroyed. Six places I can think of.

    Just looked out across the paddocks yesterday and noticed a good few strands were loose so I've to go out with the hammer and a few staples myself at some stage.

    I had a dream once that we put a cow in claf to a pig because it would be easy calving. made perfect sense at the time :rolleyes:

    May find and axle now.
    This is why I hate machinery. Just the bar basic amount and a good easy maintained tractor. Having said that its my own fault. She has done a lot if work and not looked after properly.

    Just be thankful your not putting pins in you arms. Get rid of that 9" cavity and use timber blocks or stumps like a good man.

    yes I remember a few years ago the health and safety man came and did an unannounced inspection and was trying to convince me to get a set of axle stands. I stood firm and told him there was nothing safer than solid timber blocks to have under something like that and wasn't going to change at this hour of my life

    I'm not really mad on metal on metal. Very weary of it sliding off. Timber will bed in. I know they are rated but always think those rachets on stands ain't up to much either. Give me a good round of larch any day, if it'll hold up a tree, it'll support tractor axle!
