    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!

    Ah, but the pencil pusher will be looking for the CE mark on the block of larch and the S.W.L. tag :D

    What a waste..

    I pass this ground regularly.. Its better than the picture shows with about 20 good acres being essentially left idle..

    One cut of "silage" taken in July/August and the bales are just sitting where they dropped then..

    Same last two years, year before that it was reseeded..

    They twin bulls I bought off of a neighbour where cow was a factory job.. They lim out of blue grey AAX cow... That cow reared big white LGL bull weanling already .. 3 continental bulls in 1 year! I bulled her with my own lim a week ago.. Held off on bulling her as she would have more milk for the 2 boys

    yesterday was the first day that felt like spring around here, managed to get a few load of urea out on the drier ground, and it was the 6th day cows have been grazing so far, ground is improving on a hourly basis, a bit of sun and a strong wind doing wonders to day.
    picture dose no justice to how the hill looked in the sunshine, lifts the spirits a bit

    They are but its a pity to have to put out slurry that way . Its a PITA doing three trips up the side of a road and having to leave it at that .
    We could have spread most of the fields around here during the first two weeks of december and it would have done alot more good than whats being spread in these conditions . I wont let an opportunity like that pass me next December !
