@theladyfarmer @willwilson100 @EdinvaleFarm @ThrimbyFarms Would you not be better off selling as stores, most are going down to Italy at €6.40 live weight, so if you wean at an average of 350kg it makes it a pretty good job! 👍🏻

@willwilson100 @EdinvaleFarm @ThrimbyFarms feeding cows and fattening Angus cattle on maize and or grass silage. Do I need both? Drive over pit or back wall? What are the initial considerations?

@theladyfarmer Fortune favours the bold! 😂 that’s what I keep telling myself!

@SrKilby The disease is prevalent way down in the south from what I understand - fingers crossed it’s too cold where you’re going!! We hope to move about the same time. It’s not easy though is it?!

In France right now roadblocks are set up on many major roads across the country, in protest to the farm scale cull of cattle with a specific disease

@SrKilby Where abouts?

Good old Dave #Mammotion

@theladyfarmer We use to have contracting customers, some would want to be finished by 4th October, others would let us start until then! Ideal for us as contractors 😂

October drilling is for… well I don’t know, but we’re about to buy a farm off it, so can’t be all bad!!

Keeping the lights on!

If you know you know!

Sun on their backs!

@ThrimbyFarms Cracking looking cattle!

Life is a numbers game these days…

@duffy1972 @ThrimbyFarms Your right Stuart, Should be called This Smallholders Life. We use to live it when the real farmers were on it.

@ThrimbyFarms Probably the best series, it's gone down hill since then

5 years on from “This Farming Life” How things have changed, we would love to do a follow up showing the farm now. James enjoying seeing himself strapped up to Mummy in the lambing shed and watching Mummy C-section a ewe after her own. Oh and Skye the dog is still with us.

@ThrimbyFarms What have you done to improve the crops? New leys and muck?

3rd cut is on… Not many years ago we would have been fighting to get one cut of bang average hay. How times change…

@theladyfarmer @Hertz @RobertHodgkins1 We had the same problem, I think bugs were better in Limoges

Just arrived in Limoges to pick up our @Hertz rental and they’ve all gone home!! Having to shell out for a taxi €200 and a hotel room for @RobertHodgkins1 so he can pick it up in the morning!! It’s not all good!!!

@jason_JBC Top job JB 👌🏻

15 more cows away today due to TB. In 15 months we’ve lost 45 cows. 40% of the milking herd gone and we are no nearer the end than we were Nov ‘23. I will write more when my head is up to it. It will get better, but for now all you need to know is that it is absolute shite.

Was thinking of going for more lift capacity rather than reach.

TV & radio telling world that British hedgehog population is in steep decline due to "changes in environment". Biggest current threat to hedgehogs are badgers which enjoy rolling them over, unzipping them with their claws, then chomping up everything that is not skin or prickle.
