🥩 Sometimes when your cleaning cattle fronts out you have to just admire them. Yeah, the beds look dirty, but that’s just because they are on sawdust or fines as the are known. But the cattle are clean and flying. Ready for a go through i think. 🥩

🥔🍔🍑People keep asking about rations. Here’s a little clip of what we are feeding at the moment, the cost and the growth rates we will expect. Obviously, ask any questions etc.

I wish you could smell it. Not bad for forage box grass. Some love them, some hate them. But i tell you what, they work well for us. Rocket fuel, analysis to follow. Second cut is not far away.

Finally got the brackets fitted to the new shear grab just in time for going in to the first cut this morning. The old one was buggered so we had no option but to get a fresh one. It’s a tool that’s used every single day. Looking forward to seeing what first cut looks like and if we can find any of the chips we added in 🍟

Unfortunately we haven’t managed to get time to go to the highland show this year, just got too much on at home. Well done to all those competing, it takes time and dedication to get stock looking at 12oclock for the shows. One day we might get some shorthorns up there, who knows. But in the meantime, here’s a little heifer calf from Jaffacake. She’s starting to fill out now, from our old stock bull. 🍪

🥔 Spuds 🥔

Everytime we get a load of spuds i can’t help but think what a world we live in. Presumably they are available due to lack of demand? Someone will tell me? But yeah, it’s a great feed for us and helps bring our ration price down. It uses a raw material that would end up in rotting and turns it in to steak. BUT presumably the growers will be making a huge loss on these?
Currently we are feeding around 120t of them a month.

I tell you what as well, they are bloody good tasting.

How high is too high?

Thrimby Voodoo Child

Thinking of jumping him for semen, do you think commercial folk would be interested?
