Valley Axe Man Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Was always one of the highlights of toytrac seeing your display in the flesh Graham, nice details in the pics but after seeing your previous layouts in the flesh I know they wont do it justice until it is set out in front of you in all its glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 15 hours ago, graham said: thanks for replys you crack on jack whatever make they all need parts ,I took that pic to try and show the light bulb hanging down from the beam bit of a job to see it thanks for looking ,what make is your foot crush pat ,that one is based on a electric one, moved on from the wopa Not too sure on the make of our crush, I'd guess its probably as old as I am. Had a look at an IAE one, it gave me some serious jealousy, especially with the electric winches. Is Guernsey milk all A2 spec then? I know you can get Holsteins tested for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks for the comments. Cheers barry, I still get a lot of enjoyment out of building the dioramas and showing them with people like yourselves looking at them. as you know I only show at Toytrac and I have been doing it a few years now. Some of this weeks pictures. Been doing a bit of spraying and we have also had 25 ton of barley delivered it was a bit tight getting him, in the yard but he has been before so he knew what to do, a local company picked it up for us from Bideford.

graham Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Started tipping. Also had to hook the baler up, we baled up some loose straw and a big bale trying not to break too many shear bolts, wanted somew small bales for some horsey neighbours.

graham Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Had a delivery of some new feed troughs for when we turn the heiffers out and some portable gates. The fertiliser and minerals on the lorry was for another farm and not for us. Never normally get artics around her this week weve had two. We had three farmers over from Italy looking at starting using Guernsey cows, altogether looking for 21 in calf cows we were showing them four.
