@armadalefarm Thanks, never seen a home test before. They look really useful 👍👍

I’m puzzled. Labourites tell us that Angela Rayner was only trying to look after her child which they quite rightly say is understandable.
But when a farmer tries to look after his children, they say he’s a tax dodger.

Had a great time at Anglesey Show
Even picked up a few rosettes - Especially pleased with an April born twin ram lamb getting a 3rd

@herdyshepherd1 The ability to change a breed characteristics to meet market demand shows how clever and amazing our industry is.

On my way home from @royalwelshshow Ucheldir, I visited the sheep pens of @nationaltrust Dyffryn Mymbyr - the setting of "I bought a mountain" by Thomas Firbanks. My Taid used to buy sheep from this very pen 50 years ago.

Some little things we’ve done (with help) to help nature thrive on our farm

A kind of update or summary…

🚨 Farmer’s daughter Jenny Hall has gone missing in Durham after going for a run.

A major search continues today with specialised sniffer dogs being used in the area around Jenny's last known location where her car was parked, on the B6278 between Stanhope and Eggleston.

@DwynwenS @NFUCymru Very well deserved Paul and I'm sure Dafydd would have agreed. Da iawn 👍👍👍

@herdyshepherd1 @ProfTimLang I wonder if governments are aware of the issues of food security? or do they know about it and ignoring it? I'm not sure which scenario is worse.

@ytaeog @AledBrynog we were only talking about this yesterday

[Kate Ferguson @kateferguson4]

This is very sad.

Smithfield Market set to close after almost 800 years

City of London have ditched plans to relocate it to Dagenham.

They want to use the old site for “mixed use cultural development”, whatever that means.

France would never do this

Staff at London food bank @CityHarvest_LDN say they have been “overwhelmed” by large amounts of food donated by British farmers.

Shepherdess inspecting her 2024 lamb crop. We discussed if we should sell them as stores or keep them as prime.

Looks like we are fattening them...

🌟 Trying something new 🌟

Never washed a sheep before but would like to see if it makes a difference to the fleece. Even if it doesn't, it was jolly good fun anyway 🤣 😂
Let's hope Charlie doesn't shrink after a wash 😬

For the many, many people who don’t actually follow Welsh politics, it can be hard to understand the situation with our First Minister Vaughan Gething.

To help explain I made this video about what’s going on in Wales.
