@Lucy_Lapwing Well said. How about just spending some time with the important people in your life. Give your presence not presents!

IDEA: What if for Christmas this year, we all did 'Panic Not-Buying'? What if we all decided the climate and biodiversity crisis was *so* important (an actual crisis, if you will), that it merited simply NOT buying the stuff we do every year? 1/

A few of @EJBray_ woolly buggers doing a fine job of knocking this herbal ley back before bringing it back into the arable rotation. #BackBritishFarmingDay

@bleating_lamb Intresting read Paul. Probably convenient for me that I operate a low input operation. A circular rather than linear system must be the future. It will go mainstream in time but will it be in time 🤔🤷‍♂️

One of our Herbal leys still absolutely pumping this one is for the smaller lambs at weaning (yes I do have them!) And a few thin culls (yes I have those too). weight gain on those animals should be impressive, we will find out next at next weighting. Pics by @hollygrant_

Our New Holland TX 36 starting its 28th harvest, just a steady 700ac to do with it this year…a testament to the machine & the mechanic who serviced it & repaired it every year since new #harvest21

@joshuajohnhobso Shearing and weaning at the same time, that's what we're doing. Ewes had crovect a month ago and probably shear in next fortnight. One more crovect 6 weeks or so post shearing. Most cost effective fly prevention for the summer I reckon.

I feel like everyone rushes to shear earlier these days? Sheep that haven’t lambs till late April already shorn?

@RobertHodgkins1 There was probably the standard amount of shouting and swearing 😂Got em after a break but then it rained. Vaccinating dry sheep often a challenge 🙄

@EJBray_ Glad I am not the only one who struggles with ewes and lambs. Sounds like you kept your temper a lot better than I manage! It's the stuff of nightmares!

Finished tailing yesterday. Cold weather at lambing must have had a worse effect that I thought. Tailed 142% to ewes tupped. Following a scan of 177% (19.4% losses). Good conditions last year had us tail 145% to a lower scan at 167% (15.3% losses).
