Just over 20 years ago, Dad absent mindedly put his phone on the mudguard of the Fastrac and drove on. The phone was lost until today when he finally found it out in the field.

Dear The Public, If you must walk your precious footpaths, could you please do so without letting my livestock out? Second day of Easter and you're already a pain in the arse. Thanks in advance.

@aarostew Cheers. To be honest we're used to giving help at calving as our regular bull is a South Devon and we do get some monster calves. Hopefully it all goes to plan 👍

@SaaymanBarry We tried AI last year, the uptake was very disappointing. Lots of empty heifers wasn't very productive. Much simpler to just turn a bull in.

Next time an ad tells you to buy a product because it is plant-based, just remember that oven chips, 3 litres of cheap cider and cigarettes are all plant-based too, so just buy them instead.
