Last few single pegs avaliable at Three Valleys, early-mid October. I’ve heard the host is a decent guy..

Start next pheasant season in style by taking on the 'extremely high' birds at Three Valleys. Located between Llanfyllin & Llanrhaeadr, the majestic peaks rise from 400ft in the valley floors to 1500ft above sea level, & are ideal for breathtaking birds.

It takes 5,290 litres of blue water to produce 1kg of California almonds, with the average almond drink ≈ 3% almond.

That makes almond drink 20x more water intensive than 🇬🇧 milk 🥛

@PhilNash2 That looks brilliant Phil! Certainly an upgrade from the log store!

@milkmoneymakerr We used a side auger bucket, as long as the green bedding is fairly dry it generally worked well. That was bedding cubicles though.

@mdhcampbell @PhilNash2 @PastureForLife @CoLEppingForest But it’s the same principle that if the cows got within a certain distance it would send a warning noise and if they carried on of breached the boundary a shock was delivered. Worked well most the time. I’m pretty sure it was the first of its kind used on open space grazing

[Dan Wells @dan_wwells]

@mdhcampbell @PhilNash2 @PastureForLife I’m not sure if still be using in @CoLEppingForest but when I was there we were using a slightly different system. The GPS was purely for locating the herd and monitoring where they had grazed, the fencing system was a series of buried wires that were ran on leisure batteries
