Lord Ferguson Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 You'd be in your element up here mate......Between tractors, combines and implements...... Lamps still not fitted ......I'm actually about to buy myself a VW Golf but once I've bought that I'm thinking of getting her a set of new tyres, getting her inside and looking after her properly...... Good on yer Mart... it's about time poor Regan came in out of the cold... poor old lady :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old International Martin but nice ... those were so nice. I'm surprised she didn't refuse to be hitched to a massey loader though!!!! Aye she's not a bad old girl, getting a bit tired now though...... great pics as usual mart , looks like that 175 only needs a wipe down & a polish ! the 165 doesn't look bad either , really ought to get them out side for some sun & pics mate , any news on the 698 ? got that cleaned up yet ? Thanks Marcus......The 175 is pretty much immaculate......We hope to get it and the bruiser out over the Summer for a wash down as it does get pretty dusty being permanently on bruising duty......We've had the charger on the 698 for a few days and tried to start it but hardly made any difference so a new battery should be coming in soon to try and get her going...... Poor old Inter has got a few bashings on the nose ......And the cab roof too......I think someone in the deep dark past may have dropped a bale on her roof...... \ :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robl12 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Did you go to the sale at perth Martin? I see the owner of ryanair spent the most that day. I used to work with John Milligan's Brother he has a herd of Aberdeen Angus on the Ballathie Estate. They look like some very nice looking cattle and calves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 No it didn't and also the fact that he was more attracted to the bullocks rather than the heifers ;D How many cattle do you have on the farm? are they all AA and AA crosses?

Not 100% sure on numbers but doing a rough count I'd say around 40-50 cattle, 3 bulls plus around 15 young heifers, 20 young bulls and about 10-15 young calves so far...... Yep they're all AA and AA crosses, apart from one cow...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
