FW Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Today was a slower day for me, working on the livestock side. Todays main job was to start turning out the cattle and had a few loads of bullocks away from the farm and grouping suitable heifers to put with one of the three bulls. First picture, is of me 5130 on the Ifor Williams Cattle box, backed up to the crush.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Next we had a wee drive around most of the fields to check the fences while we ad a bit of time..... View from the Defender..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Last job this evening was to move some of the crete feeders to other places around the farm, but the bridge I was intending on using hadn't really survived the winter, so had to draw them down the road, at 5K, as the feeders don't like speed, which was not hepled by some total tw@ in his Renault Laguna cutting me up, whilst I was clearly indicating! The 5130 again, backed up to a crete feeder.... Hooked up..... and ready to go...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have had a few before though. Also currently have him, a Charolais and a Hereford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 What cows are you running with them then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 What cows are you running with them then? A right mix! The older generation are mainly black Herefords, but the younger generation are them crossed with others. e.t.c. The shed looks like a patch-work-quilt when feeding!
