Barley is finally cut but...
There was a break in the weather so we got our barley cut thankfully! But the rain couldn't hold off for long so the straw is still lying... Its turned so cold with snow appearing on the tops of the hills. We need the cattle inside to protect our ground but we need the barley shifted before we can get them in.

Will I be let loose again?
Просмотров 11 тыс.День назад
I went to one of our local marts to a heifer with calf at foot sale. We usually try and buy a couple at this sale to keep numbers up in our herd. I was trusted with this task and I'm grateful that Dad thinks I'm up to the task. Hopefully these heifers will go on to do well for our herd.

Saving medicine & money!

Took in the last of our lambs to dose using the automatic Te Pari drenching gun. This works hand in hand with my race well as when the lamb comes in, it gets weighed and the drenching gun automatically calibrates the amount of drench it needs. Meaning lambs are not getting over or under drenched, saving of medicine and money! I also took my dimmers back in for their second abortion vaccine and ...
I got the good stuff...

We headed to Stirling Mule Ewe lambs sale yesterday where there was over 9,000 mule lambs up for sale. Cracking show and trade was flying! Managed to get 157 lambs bought for running over as gimmers. Dearer than had first thought but I guess it's all relative to where fat lamb trade is at for the time of year.

Obviously wed like all our cows to calve naturally, but sometimes this isn't always the safest option, or even an option at all. If we had pulled this calf then the outcome could have been very different. Severally damaging both or even killing both. It's not a risk we were taking. Vet called, operation successful both cow and calf are healthy. Merch Store: livestockfarmher.com Big Thank You to...

I bought more sheep...
Просмотров 10 тыс.Месяц назад
Bought some replacement dimmers, 2 year old sheep, for our flock. Went through my lambs again to see what I could send off farm after taking a week off. Picking them heavier this time as time of year lambs go through a growth stage instead of fattening but also weather still hasn't been playing ball. Te pari gets a much needed wash after working in the old set up. Merch Store: livestockfarmher....

    the river Deveron is a spate river, its source being the Allt Deveron and the Blackwater. They meet at Dalriach Pot, just to the north of Cabrach. The catchment area for these two rivers and the Deveron is circa 250 square kilometers or 96 square miles. Go on internet maps and join all the hill tops together encircling the two rivers and the Deveron down to the bridge just west of Huntly. A quick calculation assuming 1/2 inch of rain using USGS site results in 111,520,305 cubic feet of water or 3.16 million cubic meters of water flowing down the river....just with 1/2 inch of rain. No amount of dredging is going to stop this river from flooding its natural floodplain. the river valley was formed as the last ice melted 10000 years ago. As our planet continues to warm (the causes of which are debatable....man made or natural causes?) its going to get wetter. Farming practices will inevitably have to change and adapt to these conditions. As they say the only thing that is constant ....is change. water.usgs.gov/edu/activity-howmuchrain.php
