    Bringing heifer into butcher this morning. Pulled trailer out of the shed and large cut in tyre, tyre was poor to be fair.
    Lucky the spare wheel of the horsebox fitted perfect and was only small delay.

    What weight is the heifer? Will you be taking the whole animal back and what cuts etc? Have two empty heifers here thinking of keeping one for the freezer next summer off grass. Between 3 or 4 houses. She is 25% fleckveih 75% hol/fr.

    560kg on the scales last Saturday.
    Hereford cross heifer.

    She’s going to hang for three weeks and then he will call us about cuts etc. It’s being shared among two houses. First time killing a heifer.

    Au contraire. Locally produced product is better that importing decorations from china. It's reusable and recyclable.

    Hard to fathom how such an amazing error of payment occurred.
    Considering the number of desks it would have to pass over to be approved and released for payment...

    If nothing else, there had to be a GL code created with enough in it to allow the overpayment, and those are usually set up for one particular use only.

    I think I've posted about "The Great Reset" before, take a look at this. The attempt to patent seeds was just the start.

    "According to WEF’s founder and executive chairman, Klaus Schwab, the forum is guided by the goal of positioning “private corporations as the trustees of society” to “address social and environmental challenges.”

    Isn't it, narrow peoples options and you literally funnel their wealth into corporations. I'm not sure if I've posted the one below here before, but in case people think the rich have us mere mortals best interests at heart here's another article.

    Food is one of the biggest targets as far as I can see, so ag is very much at risk, particularly animal ag.

    Sure thats just the goal of all free market capitalists since the first corporations had to be forced by law to stop maiming children in their factories

    You're not joining the dots together between the super wealthy, universities, researchers, media, politicians etc. They are now in a position to make the policies and laws.

    Absolutely agree. Intel could and probably do set policy in this country through the back door.

    The label says added to water
    1ml to 5ml per 10 cows
    For lactating cows 1ml per 10 cows

    I was wondering would it be 10%?

    I never knew there was different strengths of it. Always just give 1ml per cow per day in the drinker

    We always used proportioner pumps with the sucklers for iodine and msgnesium in the spring.
    That's twenty years ago, does anyone use them now
