Back on the drill

Finished our first block of ground.
A few days ago a star shaft broke in one machine.
Less than two hours later the same happened to a second machine 
.
And this afternoon we packed up and moved to our next block and a bit closer to home.
Or at least everyone else did while I sat in a lay-by waiting for a man in a van to get my tractor going again after it threw a wobbly.

Unfortunately with modern technology the manufacturers have been able to make extra thin replacements which will struggle to do ten years.

That's how I do it off the lower trailer but if your on your own it's a bit difficult with a higher one.
Great start to the day…,
Found this gate open…..when it should be chained shut.
I never leave chain like that.
problem is there should be 300 ewes plus lambs the other side of it.
Found them scatter all over. Took best part of two hours to get them all back…not very happy at moment.
gate is by golf course so done idiot went in to pick up stray balls I suspect.

Barbed wire wrapped around the top rail of the gate helps too.
Did 2 extra lines of barbed last night on post and rail to persuade bully that the heifers weren't greener on the other side of 3 fences. 2 bulls with 20 cows each standing 20m from each other and roaring through the holiday cottage between them.

Dreaded day…lambs to go through footbath for first time.
Normally involves lots of shouting and swearing but went surprisingly smoothly.
Reversed the pens after so ready to go thru again when the mob moves again Saturday
lambs went through well
Pen and race ready for Saturday

I used to dread that day as well. Adding straw to the footbath so it doesn't just look like water has helped massively this time around and mine went through with very little issue.
That's this year at least. Another year and it'll likely be totally different again.
Ive swapped to a foam pad in the base of the bath last few years and its help

I am almost a victim of @Hfd Cattle
The second and hopefully the last load, soon it will be warm enough for turnout.

I use straw. But I suspect it is the reflections off the water that are spooky.
