Putting a coo in a calving pen at 2am and waking up to her calved has to be one of the best feelings🤩

Next breakout session at @SAYFCAGAFFAIRS Conference is with Moredun Institute. Very interesting they were setup 100 years ago, there’s been a lot of innovative work since then. #sellingscotland #sayfcagri

Into our breakout sessions. Great round table discussion about carbon with SAC team. @SAYFCAGAFFAIRS #sellingscotland #sayfcagri

Great to be co-author and signatory of this letter which has been released today by @SAYFCAGAFFAIRS & @NFUStweets! This letter calls on @MairiGougeon to speak with devolved nations to ensure decision making and policy surrounding #COP26 is fair for Agriculture!

#FarmSafetyHour As we are in a busy time make sure you take time to rest & have a break. It's important to know your limits as we learn more about the part #fatigue plays in accidents. Book it in because everything works better after a recharge, including you! #CultivateChange

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@CrummySean Thanks!

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

Thanks to Mam (and dogs😂) for helping to set up the electric fence yesterday! Couldn’t do this without them.

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@kcbudge Taking a break 🤣

#FarmSafetyHour It's also #SunAwarenessWeek this week & with so much time spent outside we can often forget the Sun's strength until the Farmers Tan appears. Make sure you stay #SunSafe & for more info visit @_NTTL #CultivateChange @IOSH_tweets

Sometimes I feel utterly powerless and sick to the core about our industries approach to health and safety. It is not big, brave, cleaver or courageous to take risks, ignore danger or dismiss safety. Every single one of us can do something every single day to make our farms safer

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@CaitlinRoss96 Yeah we’ve got nothing up here either.. that cold spell killed it all😩

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@paybods Yes can’t forget the cull tag!

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

No matter how long you’ve been farming is there anything you just can’t deal with? For me it’s ewe vaginal prolapses..

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@PintSizedFarmer I have this problem at the start of the season but by the end it’s fine! Just the age old ‘practice makes practice’

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@KerryFarquhar2 Totally disgusting 🤢 we’re lucky that we don’t have much of a problem with that up here!

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@Brownsvilleted @kcbudge hates this too but I’ve totally gotten used to it!! The sound is a bit off putting.. #slurp

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@BenMoffat20 Those are disgusting.. Always have to breathe through the mouth so smell doesn’t get you!

[Aimee Budge @aimeeeb6]

@leach_becki Yeah that’s an awful job! ‘Big girl pants’ is exactly how I feel😂

[Farm Safety Foundation @yellowwelliesuk]

The farming life has always been pretty stressful but there are ways for you to look out for each other and look after each other. #StressAwarenessMonth
