Existing progressive sheep and cattle farming operation seeks large scale tenancy or joint venture. Location not an issue for the right opportunity. #havesheepwilltravel

@iandicko73 It’s actually representative of women, if 70,000 women work in ag, and there are 466,000 people working in Ag in the uk (apparently).

Are any of the speakers gay?

Great to see @philstocker3 and @natsheep being so positive about and supportive of innovation and progression in the UK sheep industry in today’s @guardian

@FarmersOfTheUK You needed seven collies and four people for 1000 sheep?

We love a sheep wrangler challenge. This Travis Scott music video shoot asked for 1000 sheep all together. Not many farmers are willing to do that! But one was, controlled by 7 collies and 4 of us. The music video has had 93 million views! farmlocations.co.uk/work/travis-sc…

@freshy1973 You just need to get some of us brits over 😂

@MrsBootonski @M_launderfarm Again I do agree and I’m not trying to be an arsehole .... but if you mostly keep 10 sheep in a 2 acre paddocks. How are you going to bring on and train up a huntaway pup? That’s not a bad thing. It’s just dogs for jobs.

@1manandhisdogs @M_launderfarm It does, but there’s no reason shepherd and dog can’t grow and learn together ❤️

FIRST TIME FARMERS, LISTEN UP!! Due to us scaling back our farming operation, we have some huntaway pups that need forever homes. We are willing to give these pups for free to deserving new entrants, in the hope they help play a part in your farming future.

@MrsBootonski @M_launderfarm Totally agree. I started with three and now have thousands. But it takes a certain amount of work to fulfill a decent huntaway.

@1manandhisdogs @M_launderfarm People have to start somewhere. I started with two sheep 3 years ago now I have 31. I don’t have 5k of new clothing though and I don’t do Instagram. Just because someone only has 50 sheep this year, doesn’t mean that number won’t increase exponentially.

@M_launderfarm Good idea. Wasn’t meaning to pick fault, but the whole new entrant thing is tiresome. Spoken as .... ‘a new entrant’ 😂 but great offer for someone!

@1manandhisdogs Yep, as it says “ you will need to prove you genuinely need one”

@DougieP_243 Fair play to you, I’m glad you follow up. And aye I feel your pain don’t worry. Just seems a hell of a concentration of them with you!

@DougieP_243 Don’t you do much in winter ? We find not many left about the place by March and we can pretty much leave them till august then. Never liked killing milky vixens unless you’re going to go dig the Cubs.

@FarmersWeekly @RobertHodgkins1 I picked up every one of the 3000 lambs and the shape, weights and uniformity were truly impressive.

Shepherds aged 35 years or younger can argue their case for being given up to five free Romney rams from the Kaiapoi flock in Hertfordshire #farminguk fwi.co.uk/livestock/live…

@FarmersWeekly @RobertHodgkins1 Helped tail, and DNA tag this years lambs, and hands down, THE most impressive Romney’s I’ve ever handled!

@howemill @farmer_richiet @JFCAgriUK flat out on the agro forestry today.

@farmer_richiet @JFCAgriUK Another reason why agroforestry makes sense - ready supply of handy sticks for trough levelling.

@JFCAgriUK The trough isn't that bad, but it does have to be bang level! Good job I've got this handy stick to stop the water flowing out. 🙄🙃 There just isn't enough room for the float to be adjusted enough. 🤷‍♂️

@sj_891 yes ..... quite.

@1manandhisdogs forage based, outdoor lambing etc.

200 cross bred ewes for sale. Ewe lambs to flock ages, scanned to lamb mid April to Charmoise tups. Please Retweet.

Control your dogs! A dog attack shredded this ram's ear, necessitating removal of a large part of it. I like a novel surgery every now and then, but I can do without this. #wholetthedogsout? #somenumptythatswho .

@labboudles sounds interesting!

Do any of the farmers out there on Twitter want to talk to me for a story on the culture war brewing between farmers and vegans? I'm a journalist at the Financial Times, and have written about farming in the past. @NFUtweets @CLAtweets @FarmersOfTheUK

@ExeValleyLamb @Childs295Greg I use the speedrite version from @RappaFencing it’s a great bit of kit

@Childs295Greg @1manandhisdogs Get one if theses. Saves loads of time. Tells you where to look for faults. Lives in my coat this time of year.

Where start, today had to call on a mate 2move some ewes for me,thank you @1manandhisdogs as my No1 dog has developed cataracts. Then spent 2hrs trying find the short in the vid! 🤬,then find 20 ewes from f.2 wandering the woods.Put up electric 🔄them as containment #sheep365
