These are the moments we live for 🐄 Turnout Day 🥳 - Winter housing is over, the dark nights & cold days are ended Spring has arrived at Goldsland Farm #SpringEquinox #farming 🤩 (2nd vid in 🧵 for group 2)

When your mate falls asleep in public & you’re left explaining the situation to everyone 😜🐄 Yes cows really do sleep this deeply 😴 #farming

@CllrAledT @ConRuralForum @LizzieHacking Congratulations Aled 👏👏👏

Truly honoured to take on the National Chair of the @ConRuralForum. @LizzieHacking was a formidable force in reshaping the organisation. I look forward to working with our members to make sure rural policy is top of the agenda, and hold Governments of any colour to account.

@AbiReader @1noeloconnor The climate alarmists will have a meltdown

I promise we don’t let the cows vape 🫣 It’s just a cold morning 😜🐄 #farming

POV: when the morning milling goes just right 👌 #dairyfarming

@ReidGraham95968 Wow you’ve got an hour on us!

@AbiReader Started getting light just after 5 am here in Shetland

Starting to feel like a proper springtime now 🌅 #farming

@joycewilk @1noeloconnor Love it 😆

@AbiReader @1noeloconnor In my head when I’m running for the ropes or Jack , I’m saying ‘help is on the way dear ‘ !

Calving in progress. 🐄 Most cows don’t need help, but when they do we step in with calm, gentle assistance. Always glad of the cameras so I can keep an eye whilst doing other jobs #farming #cctv

This morning’s make up didn’t go to plan for ‘Blue’ 😍 #FarmLife

@Bluebell852 No, there’s no other waterway near it other than a ditch

@AbiReader Is it a nesting/feeding area for breeding waders?

Meanwhile I’ve been denied planning permission to dig a small pond in a wet corner of a field 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ChrisHewis No flooding plan 😜 🤷🏻‍♀️

@AbiReader Really? Any comments on why? I thought that's what everyone was encouraged to do.

It was great to catch up with Katie Fallon @FarmersGuardian last month to discuss preventive trimming. It’s an important part of lameness management - but needs to be implemented in the right way at the right time for maximum benefit. #healthyfeet farmersguardian.com/advice/4525567…

@jamesjimmyevans Really sorry to read this, that is a crap day 😔 & your cows in this video look stunning. There was a stark announcement yesterday by the TB Program Board in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 for a significant step change approach to tb eradication. Given they were appointed by WG it’s getting harder to ignore

Naff day. All tested positive on bloods for TB, all going to be killed, we go again tomorrow. 💩

International Women's Day: 6 farming women featured🌟 Top of the list: 🧡Caroline Drummond who led the development of Open Farm Sunday, & 3 OFS hosts: 🧡@AbiReader, 🧡@Minette_Batters & 🧡@CasMillar farmersguardian.com/4526268/ 🎉TY @farmersguardian @LEAF_Farming #IWD #OFS26

🌸 Happy International Women's Day 🌼 "We should change the perception that a farmer is automatically a ‘he’; farming has never been a man’s job, and it's time the way we talk about farmers reflects that," said @AbiReader, president of NFU Cymru, while highlighting the vital role women play in agriculture. ➡️ farmersguide.co.uk/rural/farm-lif… #InternationalWomensDay #WomensDay #WomenInAgriculture #WomenFarmers #Agriculture #FarmingLife #NFUCymru #WomenEmpowerment

Questions I still get asked: “Can I speak to the boss?” “Can you manage those big animals all by yourself?” “Are you able to drive tractors?” Whatever career you choose I believe in you 💪 Happy International Womens Day from the man who’s celebrated #IWD26 every day of my life
