  1. So it's been a bit slow the lads have been coming hear and there to do bits to the new cow shed. It's OK as long as its finished before silage time as were hoping to make as much hay this year and store it in the top end of the shed. Had to clean the cows out in the yard the other day used the skidsteer and just loaded it straight into the spreader and away with it. As it's still cold up here in Cumbria the grass still hasn't started to grow. No meadows are empty yet. So still ok to get that muck out.
  2. Made this a wile ago but only got round to finishing it off. also made a sheep snacker.
  3. Work lads were in Saturday laying the concrete. They'll be back Tuesday morning to start on barriers and sheets for roof.
  4. So it's been all go hear on Hazelhead farm. Finally managed to get the planning for the new shed passed, so the lads turned up with the diggers on late Tuesday night to get a early start stripping off. Had one of the best digger drivers he could work them machines with his eyes closed. Had to remove a far bit of top soil to hit the good ground but hasn't gone to wast as it'll do for the meadows in the dips to level off. Diesel bowser got dropped off in yard so we took it over to the site for them on the gator. As were still in full swing with lambing Matthew had to lead the capping from the quarry 7 loads then finish off with type 1 subbace ready for the concrete to pour into the holes for steel work. can't falt them lads they where top notch and good at what they do. Sleep work turned up after around a month from ordering it. Then the lads come back to erect it. Steel works just about finished now but not the sheeting. Hoping I can get them to pour the concrete floor
  5. Thanks guys means a lot, It's a hard time for all of us. Just keeping my self busy back at work now so keeping my mind occupied.
  6. It's a shame realy. As farming now is more production a few farms around here milk 800 cows that's not farming in my eyes
  7. Sometimes big is only way to go to get farming to pay. Well in the real world. There's plans to build a hard standing cow shed sometime.
  8. So it's been a busy start to lambing that cold spell was hard on the lambs hoping to get the second half of the twin lambers in the polytunnel
  9. Yeah I liked doing it and it was just like my brothers farm but it was taking up to much room on a 8x4 board and that was just the old part of the farm. Now I've got this ill just stick with it and make small dioramas
  10. No sadly he lost his battle with leukaemia on 31st of January he was 16month when diagnosed with it and he was 3 year old when he passed. He had to go to Singapore for special treatment that cost £500.000 whitch did work but the 3rd bone marrow transplant made his lungs so bad he was struggling to breathe so had to be put into a coma to rest his lungs but sadly they were to damaged and couldn't stop the bleeding in his lungs.
  11. Hello mate. Got some plans for adding to Hazle head farm. I still need to build the second pat of the bench so I can add buildings hopefully get planning for a modern beef cattle shed....
  12. This is what I've been upto. Just a few finishing touches to add.
  13. Sadly I lost my 3year old son on the 31st of January. But your right its helped me though and still does I enjoy doing it and hoped one day Stanley would of as well. I guess I can only hope he's by my side when I'm up there.
  14. Haven't been on here for a long time with everything that went on with my son and his leukaemia. I had to join Facebook for a big fundraising we did for him to get him to Singapore as it just seemed easier to post on there. Anyway. No more greenside farm now welcome to Hazel head farm Smaller farm with 40 beef cows and 250 ewes to lamb. Farms in between carlisle and the lake district Keswick. Farmer Simon has been splashing the cash on a teagal straw chopper and a lovely new hurlimann xb100max with sigma 4 loader The day Tunstall tractors delivered the hurlimann on a lowloader Having got a new l4wd loader tractor meant we had to give up the 2 old massy fergusons. Straw chopper put on right away
  15. Its ridiculous could be a typo but might not be. I wonder what the description says I have to go find that and watch it.
  16. This just gets better and better. its Fantastic work your doing there mate. Keep up the good work.
  17. Wow thats a massive cattle shed. I like how you've done the boarding bet it was bit of a pain was it? Looking great though keep up the good work.
  18. Looks tidy that mate. Is there many implements for them? Triple mowers would look cool also. Youve done a tidy job with the blade.
  19. What do they call that cab on the 7610? We had a 6410 with thst style cab. Ive just bought a uh 6410 but with the super q cab I'd love to get it changed to that. Marshall sits so well. Stunning tractor.
  20. Been messing about with a britains unimog. I've been wanting to build one of these since I started messing about thith the britains stuff. Its not perfect as the paint I used was a little thick and has taken ages to dry when I've put it back together its still been soft.
  21. I also watched all the cattle sell last week do you know the seller! They weren't yours where they.? My ebay page couldn't keep up at the very last seconds to the end of each they were very good cattle id of loved to by the longhorns and Highland cows and the mixed beef. The sell had done a fantastic job on them, seller also sold a couple listinings of sheep. I was bid out at £48 for the longhorns couldnt really afford it but you know what it like when you see the minutes going down.
