@PonypoorWhat would make me feel a lot more "better" is, if you would drive here and take to my appointments. Then take me shopping, you can pay and after you have done all that you can take me to lunch.
It's only fair Bob, you have a car and I don't
Please do not think I am taking advantage because trust me when I tell you young man I haven't even started yet
now so it's back too biting bottoms of cheeky little boys 
Yes, rant tax is due. Sorry.Herefords or Angus…to be clear my Lowland rant was specific to this farms goals, climate, and patterns of behaviour, nothing against other breeds. I mean, sheesh, if you want smaller cattle at least get heary coos! I would love to see highlands here… brushing a highland would be so relaxing… scritching between the pointy bits, brushing out the silky long cow fluff… it’s just they did the same thing with the sheep for the same reason
the Rams are big and scary, let’s get smaller ones because that will be safer. Ten generations in of selecting for smaller rams “why are our lambs all so small now? They are 10kg lighter… it must be the pastures are all getting ate down by the goats and cows”. Nothing to do with the fact the parents are 1/3 smaller than twenty years ago. Of course like weight loss etc, the changes happen slowly and with animals you’re seeing constantly, so you don’t really notice it. And you only bother to monitor the weight and condition of the animals for slaughter… not the adults kept for breeding. Going to have to get some tax pictures today, aren’t I?
You tell him Marie
If I were close I would come and drag your butt out shopping! And lunch too hahah
I believe you lovelyGet him kris
So true on selective breeding
I for one am glad for the mixed coloured eggs I get,!!!
colored eggs. 
I have been making bread today, in between cleaning stalls, chasing hens and 'herding cats' from work... Weekends are catchup days for me. I had planned to mow the grass but surprise, it's raining again... Isn't there song about that?? By the Beatles I am sure.... I prefer 'Here comes the sun' haha
What about using geranium rose oil. I wonder if the plants work as well
Your hens are all coloured that's just as fun
And a camel, and some of Kris' battle cassowaryAlways thought I might like guineas but maybe not now!
Still would like peacocks though
