Just checked your other post bill and realised it is in may at BA country stores, but alas I am away then as well not due back until 21st May

Bill, To keep the mould boards from rusting cover them in grease. Was at a farm recently and the plough was in the shed and the mould boards were covered in grease. Would have come andwatched if I was at home but not home till start of April.

20 degrees in Baku and sunny, no wind today either

HSE what is that!!! We have a safety initiative where the guys get a bonus if they get commended for good health and safety practices.Offer money and they will do anything!!!! Lots of dodgy stuff though like 2 metre deep holes with no barriers around them Yeah out here the cherry pickers are something else they have to keep starting the engines on them as they start to go down as they cannot maintain hydraulic pressure. Scary when you are in one and you come to rest on a pipe support They use lots of newer gear over here now, lots of CAT, KOMATSU, VOLVO and FERMEC. Looks like they are shipping the old stuff out

Stephen, Would be good to see a curtainsider.

Jez, WOW It looks great there so much detail and that roller door has come out well.

I have only seen the locking type feed barriers twice. Once was on a farm my dad worked on they had a herd of Blonde D Aquitaine's and they used to keep the young bulls in the pen with the locking barrier. Was handy for checking them and also tagging ang ringing there noses. The other time was at a farm the we recently viewed with the intent of buying. They had the locking barrier and no crush. He told me it save lots of time and they did all there TB testing using it and any other reason you would have used a crush. you alos get tombstone feed barriers designed for cattle with horns. Matty have never heard of of it being used for locking heads in to make sure that they eat? It is possible though

Very handy if you need to check anything on cattle without having to get them in a crush

looking good

At work trying to do client reviews and also write a start up procedure for so new equipment. All eyes are on me from the management No rest for the wicked 12 hours in the office today same as every day. :(

Sunny here in baku again today. A little light breeze coming from the North (the caucasus mountians) so quite cold.

Looking good

:o WOW :o It is massive Great farm that you have there.

The wind has died down to nothing and our friend sunshine has come back to see us. It is about 17 degrees here in Baku today.

13 degrees today and dry, sun is out but it is very windy and the dry weather has dried the ground and we are in the midst of a full on sand storm. Anyone require exfoliating?

Trying to wade through a never ending pile of technical edits and client reviews. HELP!!!!! Also got 2 new national operators to join our team so trying to give them training as well. Roll on 6 o clock think I need a beer or 2

Never seen goats milked on this scale before. There is a farm near Maud in Aberdeenshire that has just sold that had a parlour for sheep and a cheese making area.

Baku is 6 degrees but nice and sunny just the cold north wind keeping the temperature down

Wow Looking great Tris the floor looks amazing.

Looking good henry

Work load has greatly increased having to do the workload of 2 on my own and another week before I get any help grrr

Just an update on the guy I work with turned out it was not Meningitis but a tear in his brain tissue caused by a high pressure caused by a fever. His son is temporarily blind and under heavy sedation undergoing a heavy dose of medication at the moment

It is wet and very windy here in Baku, is a lot colder than yesterday as well.

Great pictures there. I must say that the one of the beet harvest look good. Great displays as usual

It came out really nice there.
