I'm not really mad on metal on metal. Very weary of it sliding off. Timber will bed in. I know they are rated but always think those rachets on stands ain't up to much either. Give me a good round of larch any day, if it'll hold up a tree, it'll support tractor axle!

Ah, but the pencil pusher will be looking for the CE mark on the block of larch and the S.W.L. tag

What a waste..

I pass this ground regularly.. Its better than the picture shows with about 20 good acres being essentially left idle..

One cut of "silage" taken in July/August and the bales are just sitting where they dropped then..

Same last two years, year before that it was reseeded..

They twin bulls I bought off of a neighbour where cow was a factory job.. They lim out of blue grey AAX cow... That cow reared big white LGL bull weanling already .. 3 continental bulls in 1 year! I bulled her with my own lim a week ago.. Held off on bulling her as she would have more milk for the 2 boys

yesterday was the first day that felt like spring around here, managed to get a few load of urea out on the drier ground, and it was the 6th day cows have been grazing so far, ground is improving on a hourly basis, a bit of sun and a strong wind doing wonders to day.
picture dose no justice to how the hill looked in the sunshine, lifts the spirits a bit

They are but its a pity to have to put out slurry that way . Its a PITA doing three trips up the side of a road and having to leave it at that .
We could have spread most of the fields around here during the first two weeks of december and it would have done alot more good than whats being spread in these conditions . I wont let an opportunity like that pass me next December !

Put holes in myself and my new waterproofs today taking a shortcut across some barbed wire :rolleyes:

Bit of fencing, nothing to strain the wire to so had to set up another stake. The uphill section will be fun.....

Whats the Cerberus bull like for docility?

On paper not great, he only has one star -0.17% but reliability is low at only 38% but as you can see he is halter trained and he is actually one of the quietest bulls we have bred.

He will stand up in the pin and we can go in and rub him or brush him and he will just stand there, what I find with them is that if they are halter trained at a young age it makes a huge difference

Hill worked out easier than I thought. Another hour or two here or there should see the place stock proof again.

No, not for a long time. My Dad remembers the last grouse chicks around, they got picked off one by one by greycrows!

There were signs in the last two years locally about a grouse project but I don't know if anything came of it or not.
