Sometimes @bbcnews should be praised for their honest and unbiased reporting from quality reporters such as @BBCVickiYoung and @BBCNormanS to name but a few. But honestly BBC, I can not understand why you continue using low level, witch-hunting reporters, specifically @bbclaurak

@Chestnuttsfarm Send some of it this direction!

That is some calf!!! And it’s a heifer :)
Sire and grandsire are both #Chapelton bulls and Granddam is a Highlander. Self calving, strong, loads of milk, no hassle ... the way we like it!

Best day of the year :)

Possible solution to "ghost nets" ... but I am a bit sceptical as to whether the bigger outfits will actually be bothered! Needs some kind of financial incentive to make it happen. https://t.co/2KJOBIcpaI

@JonAshworth For goodness sake ... why can you never be positive about anything? £1.85bn is not loose change! For once, look at the benefits for NHS, rather than just simply opposing anything that the @Conservatives do. Sick and tired of @UKLabour always being negative.

We know how devastating the closure of small local abattoirs can be for farmers, which is why we are urging the Government to future-proof small abattoirs to enable livestock farmers to adapt to new policy and a new economic environment post-Brexit https://t.co/Ui5mR3W59F

Organic doesn't mean healthy.
Organic doesn't mean pesticide-free.
Organic doesn't mean family farm.
Organic doesn't mean local.
Organic doesn't mean fresh.
Organic doesn't mean better.

@GallowayGrouse @simon_brooke They're not!

[Barlochan Highlander @BarlochanBeef]

About time to! We have lost £1,000's of beef with abattoir and butchers over the last 15 years. Worst industry for fraud you will ever come across!

Quite like to see a few #Badgers around the place, but when numbers get out of hand (we are not in a #bovineTB area) then they should be reduced to a manageable level #badgercull They cause massive damage to countryside on TB, livestock, and infrastructure.

@PressSec Thank you Sarah for taking my question. Can you tell the press corps when was the last time @realDonaldTrump actually told the truth? #StormyDanielsDay

[Barlochan Highlander @BarlochanBeef]

Amazing how well new calves get hidden ... took me ages to find this one ... mind you, yellow ear tag blends in well with the gorse! #Highlanders #nativebreeds

[Barlochan Highlander @BarlochanBeef]

@SheenaHorner Maybe they are accurate about #superfast broadband facts. They've just changed the definition of "super fast" ... it's what we used to call "slow"!

[Barlochan Highlander @BarlochanBeef]

@SheenaHorner Another case of political exaggeration to con the masses, I would say!

[Barlochan Highlander @BarlochanBeef]

@SheenaHorner Yeahhh ... right!
