NewHolland2 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 what plate is it on mart It's on a 55 Plate Peter but was right at the end of the 55 plate designation so was only a year old about a month back...... Before that he had a 53 plate 6465 but moved up to the 6475 with Dyna 6 as he got a good deal on it from Alan Mackay's...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 We were busy as usual this weekend......We've now had another three calves born inlcuding twins......One of the twins isn't getting as much milk from the mother at present so we are currently bottle-feeding it also...... We've now separated out all the young heifers from the young bulls and they are occupying two of the larger pens at the other farm...... The new race is coming along with all the poles to hang the gates on successfully concreted in and a new strainer for another gate on one of the tracks put in...... The plan for the near future is to put in some more new strainers for new gates to be hung and also to shift a whole pile of old strainers from the other farm away to a lad who uses them for fire wood (a fine job for me and the 3095 )...... The hired dung spreader arrived yesterday but I've no idea if the boss did any spreading today...... I think that's it for just now......Plenty going on and not enough time to do it sums it all up nicely...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 are you using old telephone poles /leccy poles for the main stuff mart,most of the local farmwers down this way do, always asked where do i buy them from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got quite a supply of Leccy poles at two of the farms......A pile at each farm just in the corner out of the road......I've no idea where he gets them from to be honest......

NewHolland2 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well everything was going to plan at the start of the week - the boss was due in hospital on Wednesday so I would check the cows after school each night and then do the full 2 days at the weekend as usual...... I went up after school on the Wednesday checked everything was ok and then was just putting the keys to my ride - the Navara pick-up in the door when he turned up......The operation has been delayed so everything is up in the air at the mo so just the usual working weekend just now...... The ploughing is getting on now that he's got more time to do it and we'll no doubt do more at the weekend......More of the cows have calved so we've a plethora of new life dotted around the farm...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
