@FearnFarm @Shearwell It was an entertaining move!!

@Shearwell @JaneOrrinside you really did mean the middle of the sheep lines! Great to see you in pole position

@vaderbogger We've not had the rain to any significant extent (Muir of Ord) and the grass on the knolls and lighter soil is starting to burn off/not recover.

In the words of my "wee" friend from Portmahomack "Chilly for June" Cows and sheep seeking shelter this morning, it's borderline boilersuit and almost gloves morning in that North wind. 8mm yesterday but ground still hard. In other news photosensitive cow making good recovery.

Keyrings made by @Shearwell for @EdinvaleFarm to give out to pupils taking part in #FarmerTime 😊 #backbritishfarming #educationiskey

@Cannydc1 @taijidubh I have no clue either....

@taijidubh Do excuse my ignorance, but what is a "flat white"? And how is it related to a cup of coffee?

@HaannahFisher @taijidubh Sounds remarkably similar to my previous lifestyle!

@taijidubh That’s the problem with the Ben Fogle and Darcy Bussell -esque crowd doing docu-series’ about the ‘wild, remote & beautiful’ Scottish highlands and only showing people shearing sheep, weaving cloth & cutting peat... and all whilst having no electricity or TVs. Amazing. 🤦🏽‍♀️

@gracle @taijidubh The shortbread - fabulous and famous! The grumpy somewhat grubby lady on the bakery - not quite so fabulous but definitely infamous!

@taijidubh You didn’t get those in the Muir when I was growing up! Forbes bakery was top notch back in the day right enough...

@vaderbogger Excellent fish and chips in Skipton. My home town is 45 miles beyond 😊

Got through the no go signs at the border, first time in deep South for 2 years. Son no 1 book theory test in February (was due last Saturday) but looking like September before he would get a slot so here I am 370 miles south to get a pass🤞 Then further south to check out Uni😎

@ClynelishFarm They're loving that!

These girls obviously missed the key messaging at last years etiquette school "Eat with your mouth closed" 🍴 🐂 🙂 We'll let them off though as they are 5 wks off calving and clearly enjoying their daily allocation of swedes

@AndrewMoir4 @AgronomistGrant Lime honey is wonderful!

@KateBeavan Pretty extensive farming at 1 sheep per hectare 🤔

As a proud farmer & part of a new farmer led, tree planting initiative that has already put 124,000 trees in the ground, presentations like this get me so cross! We need to work together, holistic & realistic. The facts aren't even accurate! #StumpUpForTrees #NationalForestWales

@DogDuckLark My horses would have kicked the c**p out of the dogs - that was a saint of a horse!

@FearnFarm @Shearwell Oh my....she will be dreaming tags and numbers!!!

Home schooling going well today @Shearwell @JaneOrrinside

@ClynelishFarm @stuartajamieson @FearnFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell Dual frequency tags are a potential to be explored!

@JaneOrrinside @stuartajamieson @FearnFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell Are dual frequency tags an option or is the tech tricky?? Or just too expensive??

Fantastic effort from the team. Bull pens finished off and maternity wards opened up for the first haggle of expectant mums. Monumental milestone for us as we are now calving down our targeted number of coos. #calving21 #injohnnywetrust #calmbeforethestorm

@ClynelishFarm @FearnFarm @stuartajamieson @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell The tagging companies are as frustrated as you!

@JaneOrrinside @FearnFarm @stuartajamieson @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell Thanks Jane 👍 Have been meaning to check with you for a while what stage we are at.

@stuartajamieson @FearnFarm @ClynelishFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell No. The only UHF tags available in the UK are the pink Smart-Trak tags that ScotEID supply. ScotEID have issued readers to those in the pilot but they're not freely available.

@FearnFarm @ClynelishFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell @JaneOrrinside Are any company producing uhf tags and readers yet? Would much prefer to be able to program uk number into a tag than having to x reference

@FearnFarm @stuartajamieson @ClynelishFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell There hasn't been any movement on cattle EID for ages - as far as I'm aware it isn't through legislation yet (may be wrong on that). Current proposed date for compulsory tagging of calves with EID (prob high frequency) tags is January 2022. Currently all tags are low frequency

@stuartajamieson @ClynelishFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell @JaneOrrinside supply all of our tags, I know they are also frustrated by the speed of development, hard to believe we are getting financial support for kit which relies on eid tags being 👌, surely it will get sorted soon

@HMRCcustomers No but when I went to do subsequent years it asked if I had previously made a claim, I said yes and it said I couldn't make any more?

@JaneOrrinside Hi Jane. When you submitted the relief claim online, did it ask if you'd like to claim for more years? Suchona

Good morning, @HMRCcustomers are here until 8pm to answer your general queries on Twitter. Please don't post any personal details.
