    What kind of dairy farmer uses an alarm clock ! The old lad woke me every morning at quarter to six with a shout outside the window and I still wake at that time now .
    Its funny now when he rings in the early hours if there's a cow calfing or something wrong "are you at home " is the first thing he says . WTF else would I be at this hour like !

    My boss was the same early riser and we all are as a result, even my own kids are early out if bed. We are known locally for being an early house and I'd say we could sleep till dinnertime now and no one would think any different

    Even when I'd left home on my own he'd ring at 5.45 to ask was I up, on the odd Sunday I'd have a milker it used to drive OH mad. Funny thing is I miss it now

    Friggin' Google maps and Google Earth, you could plot you way out any man's land/pass/yard.
    Plus all those "boyos" calling about gates/pressure washing/painting, save your location on the sat-nav. and anyone can go straight to your yard.

    PS Who on here has read the Forum Rules, and removes any sat nav. co-ordinates encoded in photos before up loading?
    put up cc TV cameras and a sign saying" 24 hour security monitoring" couple of"boyos" afterwards then stopped not seen for a long time.

    Have heavy enough land kovu, it was closed off early enough last year and a bit too strong to graze now so mowing it off for bales to have a nice clean butt for silage, I wouldn't rule out having to feed them before the winter, in 2012 I made 120 odd bales in May and didn't have any left by October, a lot of drying in the last 10 days

    I got out yesterday too for a couple of hours on the water. Perfect conditions, still a sup of water in the river and wind at our back. We flew down it!

    I was going fairly easy until I disturbed a swan. Booted it fairly quickly for a while after that because the cob went after me:o

    Was nearly in tears laughing this morning. Went to check the mink trap and the fcuker had buried under the trap and took the bait that was staked into the ground from below.

    Quick question lads, what mix ratio do ye use in a licker with Gallup 360 doing strongish rushes travelling slow. Never used one before so haven't a clue. Going to do a bit for the evening and the next few days.

    Snap! Was thinking of headiing out to do a bit myself overthe next few days. Only got the licker this year so first time here aswell. Guy I bought it from said to use Roundup at a 10:1 ratio. My tank holds 60 litres so 50l water to 1l roundup. Still not sure if Roundup is best thing to use though!!
