Nearly out of grass - time for their last move before lambing 13th of February.
70 ewes lambing most since I started farming. With getting more land my next choice is to increase the flock for next year by 20 or increase the cow number from 6 to 10

A day you would be in the mood to do nothing but got the Weanling bulls dosed along with a batch of store lambs.

First time reseeding - 5 acres burnt off - if I can improve the farm every year I think I am doing my job. Going to make this a thread over the next few weeks/months

My topper was wrecked and not fit for use anymore so was toying with the idea of purchasing a abbey topper - watched i farm we farm on YouTube and it swayed me to go with a mower happy with the decision

And finally our sheds are empty a very long winter great to get these heifer and bullocks out to grass - hopefully finish the majority off grass.
