Does the one dose they get for it as calves cover them forever?

It's not a vaccine, it's like worms in an adult animal, they develop their immunity to it.
There's usually an underlying reason for them being susceptible as adults. I know from lambs that cocci can be in the dung samples without the sheep showing any illness

Thanks lads. Never thought of using the insert for either . One last question - about how many wraps would they hold?

Cage holds about 100/120 wraps

The insert about 200/225 nets

Is it not awkward to get the plastic out of the cage again? I got one of the jfc round bin things last year. Think it's a mighty job.

We put the wraps on a pallet and put a bale on top to compress them

The gearbox is gone in our hyundai tuscan cow jeep. Engine is good. What is it worth?

The rescue services love using their cutting equipment. Wonder what condition was the tractor in after the operation.

Think it could have been 300. Just uses the plastic from the first bale as a liner. Really handy. Was sick of plastic blowing around the place.

Congrats BP!

Heifers little calf went into the bin today to get shelter from the rain. All well & good, until the heifer went in after her:pac: Nudged her out & she took the bin with her (it's one we got for free with two back legs gone so it sits on two stumps) and it came off one stump. Dad was off gallivanting on the quad somewhere so I called mum out to roll the stump back under while i lifted/pushed it back up. Now that thing is heavy so I was flat out getting it a foot off the ground and my mother goes and puts both her arms under it :eek::eek::eek:
Now i know what parents feel like. The roar I let at her!!

When you're actually winning an argument on the vegan forum, the vegan poster has gone loopy and is insulting everone and a mod comes along and deletes everything, including correct responses.

I'd say it would do me the world of good but I'd go out of my head without ham

Mixing me up! I tried vegetarian for a while but not for me. I'd eat vegan/vegetarian main meals without thinking for a day or two though, am a big fan of veg & salad. But then I could eat solid cheese/meat/fish for the next two days :pac:
What's annoying me is I'd happily discuss and talk about vegan stuff, would try out recipes etc. But it's just my way or no way in there. Was a new poster in last night, still ate eggs. Was told to see about an implant for her friends chicken to stop it laying eggs. FFS. And we're the ones pumping animals full of hormones!!!!!

The virulently anti-farming one. Who believes all farmers live off subsidies and that we're "a bunch of scrounging as*****" - owtte.

Probably doing more than anyone thing else to turn posters off from having any thoughts about veganism whatsover.

I'm on chapter two about Charles Darwin and his worms making soil and burying ruins of ancient buildings and how each year he said they brought up between 10 to 20 tons of soil per acre to the surface.

Gripping stuff!!!!

My protagonist just faked illness to get away from his chiefs daughters fake funeral (who he had been given permission to date) so he can dress up as the Grey King and meet him, because he's being blackmailed by the real Grey King ðŸ˜

Call me sad but some of my favourites books are first hand accounts of farming written by actual farmers. Come across these from time to time to read .

Two I can think of are - Corn In Egypt written by W. Deeping (1941) and Red Dragon Farm by A.M Morrison (1964)

Darwin favourite creature was the earthworm. He left stones ofor different sizes in a field and over a few decades they dissappear ed through earthworm activity

He wasn't much of a farmer though. :pac:
It seems he had a field like Greenfield's in Kilkenny when his children were young.

20 years later it was said a horse could gallop across the field without hitting a stone. He dug down and sure enough a few inches down the stones were still there. The worms had just buried them in soil over the years.

It was a gift bought for me on Amazon.

My own father got a lend of one hell of a good book lately.
