Social media is now full of pet dogs worrying pregnant sheep or newborn lambs Please keep your dog on a lead. It’s simple. ON A LEAD Dogs are thinly domesticated wolves, however much you think they are a member of the family. The dog will be shot and that’s a stupid waste.

Remember folks - we don’t eat food because of how much it weighs, but because of the nutrition it provides…so maybe let’s consider its holistic impact taking that into consideration 😉

@howemill I can’t believe the amount of people (who I respect for other reasons) genuflecting to this amount of utter balderdash!

JUST FEED THEM MORE DIVERSE DIETS 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ When are we going to collectively accept what our ancestors knew to be true - that more diverse pastures have MULTIPLE health, welfare + environmental benefits and we don’t need to be extracting anything - let the cows do it themselves.

@DeborahMeaden The criteria for what counted as ID was also rubbish. Apparently an out of date bus pass is okay, but not an in date gun licence…..

This is really really bad!!!

Hey there @ScotGovRural - there doesn’t seem to be a claim option for PSF Animal Health and Welfare Interventions - only carbon audit or soil. How can a business submit their claim forms for payment? Is it meant to be here?👇

@howemill @EdinvaleFarm @highlandsrewild They’re gorgeous. Also highly entertained - never heard anyone else call their cattle fluff butts - thought it was just me! #fluffbutt

Going to miss these fluffbutts when they go home from their winter holidays later this week 🥰

What's odd is that there's a growing body of evidence that agro-forestry is a win-win and not an either/or. Plenty of UK farmers who can explain this to the NFU & DEFRA ie more trees on farms can increase farm incomes & deliver the same amount of food production + new wood fibre.

Delighted to be “out out” - about to listen to @policedoghogan in @NorwichArtCentr 😃 @OldHallFm Amazing venue! Can’t wait to hear the band - tapped my toes already. Definitely need a #policedoghogan mug in my life too.

@ShorttClare Why do you need to kill it?

What's this please Twitter ag experts? And more importantly how do I kill it

@jake_fiennes @pipersfarm Me too! Thoroughly enjoying it 😀

Got the amazing cookbook for Christmas, and what I’d like about more than anything is it makes you go to a butcher to procure your ingredients Many of the cuts are the cheaper cuts Martini was essential, and I’ve just finished chopping vegetables!

I’m not sure words can describe this image. We are never alone and only together can we make a difference. Often challenged on our impact, but sometimes it can be more positive and negative

@PintSizedFarmer Good to see he is charge a proper price for the eggs too.

My youngest son is selling eggs and doing pretty well. Notice his sign which has been carefully designed to pull at the buyer's heart strings and maximise a profit.

A HUGE thank you to the amazing team at @Norfolkfire for doing such a fabulous job this week. Also to the wonderful person who raised the alarm. Not a great week tbh but no humans or animals hurt which is the main thing.

@iandicko73 Well that would make it harder to enjoy

@CowNorfolk Because I think conferences are dire

Has anything worthwhile, conceptual or physical, ever come about because of the Oxford farming conference? Or is it just a lot of wankery for social media?

@iandicko73 Really, why? All welcome to the conference - the more diverse the better.

@CowNorfolk I doubt I'm conference material

New research on pasture-fed farming! Read the published report supporting farming to our Pasture for Life approach - frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

At the ORFC again, 1800 in person delegates, 3.5k online to boot and now the biggest in person ag conference in the World I am told. in 2010 there were 60 of us in a draughty attic at St Mary's Church. Colin Tudge and Graham Harvey: you really started something.

@howemill @OldHallFm Right back atcha! Xx

SO incredibly proud of @CowNorfolk from @OldHallFm for her brilliant, passionate and heartfelt speech this morning 🤩
