Normal service has almost been resumed. We’ve all been out of action with the first lurgy of the winter, but jobs have to be done so we’ve been worming lambs today.
Always one who doesn’t want to pose for the camera
I swear the things don’t work more than they do work!
Cherry Cola, new favourite flavour @slushtruck
Someone’s been in the mineral bucket 😋
You’ve got to love electric fencing. One day we might invest in one of those fangled Rappa jobs.
What could they possibly be waiting for?
Ever get that feeling you’re being watched?
When you farm in the way that we have to, our biggest issue are fencing and water. Some days we seem to spend our lives running around with water cans.
Catalogue pose 🤣
Nosey or greedy or maybe a bit of both.
My bloody dog!
I love this picture of Market Square in Alton. This would have been one of several weekly livestock markets that would have been a few miles from us. Now our nearest market is a good hours drive.
It’s been a bit of a funny day. There’s been some good as well as some bad. Life is never simple.
Genius use of electric fence posts or health and safety nightmare? 🤣
Well, that’s it. We’re in the Bluetongue Restriction Zone.
It was the last Meon Hut of the year today, and I thought I’ll play it safe and not take a trailer. No trailer means we can’t bring back any rubbish. Wrong!  Somehow we actually came back with a trailer and an old oil tank. We’ve got to go back with a tractor to collect the plough, oh and not forgetting the cattle crush. We haven’t actually got any cows yet, but it was only £10!
@thesuperseriousfarmer just confirming that he has an excellent taste in hats! 🤣
I’m finding it really concerning that nobody I speak to outside of the industry has any clue about Bluetongue. Perhaps not quite on the same level, but when we lived through the two Foot & Mouth outbreaks it seemed to be all over the news. What’s changed this time?
The Bluetongue Restriction Zone has now reached Surrey. Some of our land and sheep are now in the zone, some are literally metres outside, but I don’t think it will be this way for long.  I think we all feel very much left in the dark at the moment.
Worming lambs with the dreaded Zolvix.
Ewes are looking well but we are still dealing with bloody fly strike. We need some cold weather to knock off the midges so we don’t need to worry about Bluetongue for a while.
Third time this year in the same gateway 🤬
Definitely a treat kind of day today. As ever @slushtruck hits the spot. Pineapple today.
The weekend that the boys, and possibly a few others have been waiting for has finally arrived. Tracks Across the Field 2024. Big boys playing with their big boys toys.
This lot are looking, shall we say well!  No body shaming here. 🤣
Nosey bloody sheep!
I seem to spend my life here at the moment.
We just passed this bad boy on the A287. Behind his living van he was towing a Land Rover and a pick up truck  I think it’s safe to say he’s living his best life!
It’s been one of those typical Saturday’s. Lots of running around.
They only bloody did it!  This is going to make such a difference.
Morning.
Clearly I didn’t keep my hands in my pockets. 🤣
Keep my hands in my pockets.
Farm sale ready for tomorrow, getting rid of some unwanted stuff.
Really bloody annoyed!  This is not how we planned to spend Joshua’s birthday. Just to keep people happy! 🤬
@will.mcfarlane6 was solo on the boards today making a start on the hoggets.
Glorious Hampshire.
What a glorious day, but I’m really not feeling the sunshine.  Still wondering how life can be so cruel.
As the boys get bigger the toys get more expensive!  Apparently @will.mcfarlane6 just couldn’t live without this @heinigershearing_uk Icon SFX hand piece from @hornershearingofficial  I’m hoping it guarantees 300 a day!
