@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/

@OliSmithFarming Glad to be of service @OliSmithFarming 👍

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 🤔🤷‍♂️

Feed the world, or just make sure you’re looking after your part of the planet properly? Is there a nitrogen crisis that we’re all overlooking in the pursuit of changing dietary habits that won’t help climate change? darrinqualman.com/nitrogen-crisi…

@thompsonfarming @andrew_tullie @GelstonLamb @lovefarmingltd Deadweight. I never looked back.

@andrew_tullie @GelstonLamb @EJBray_ @lovefarmingltd i had that bright idea once then got shafted at market for having sheared fat lambs!

Ewe lambs sheared and wethers and lights fly sprayed. Thanks @EJBray_ & @lovefarmingltd for getting them done. #sheep365

@RobertHodgkins1 @hollygrant_ Is that GS4?

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_

@SheepLeepLtd Good names 👍

Apprentice #StockDogs Echo (left) and Zig. I'm just minding Zig a week before he leaves for his new employment. But Echo is staying as the next generation. #HomeBred #Sheep365

@robertrhodes22 Fantastic!

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

Big relief to get finished shearing the ewes yesterday. Theres been alot of soul searching this year but managed to get a 300 and big Will got a PB! There's no success without suffering 😅

@RobertHodgkins1 Have you weaned yet Rob? First time shearing my ewes after weaning. Start shearing ewes today 😅

Another shearing day, wool absolutely flying off after a wet day yesterday

@CammockSalers Crazy.

@CammockSalers Nice rig 👌

I think they were delighted to find their second farm of the day also had hampshires....

@LowriAnn11 Is that the balance of last years?

Sent 227kg of wool off to British Wool and we got a whopping £16 for it 🙄 i’ll burn it next time 👍

I'll be getting my name down!

@RobertHodgkins1 Well done Rob! 👏

@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?

@GelstonLamb I need to do some as well!

Average farmer award goes too..... #grassoverload #niceproblemtohave? #sheep365 #sheep #spearhead

@croftfootfarm @paradooprime Wow. Incredible. Setting the bar very high!

@paradooprime @EJBray_ There's your goal for the coming years ?

Paradooprime Aug drop grass fed wether lms@30kgDW from Rock Road Farm , Millthorpe NSW heading out at Sunrise. #grassfed #paradooprime #rockroadfarm

@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!

Dogs absolutely arrad after failed attempt at penning big drove of ewes and lambs. Back home for food, water and rest before second attempt 😅 Didn't think it was that hot 😂

@CharotteFarming I've made some sense of old records in diaries but gets less reliable the further I go back 🤦‍♂️😂

@CharotteFarming I've only been keeping records like this 2 years. Be good when I've got a decades worth!

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).
