@cvfarming Im probably wrong though 😂

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

@cvfarming GB cattle numbers are low. High cull rates due to drought and input costs and leading to lower numbers of finishing animals. I think market will drop to around £4.50kg DW and then bounce back. Very dependant and retail prices quite how much. Of which we have little control.

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

I’ve put my application in. 🤞 Would be great to get some others involved it what promises to be an amazing experience!

Apparently I like to say “crack on” quite a bit 😂 but seriously, these are bloody good groups, come and join us 😁👍💪

@herdyshepherd1 @ThrimbyFarms I’d argue that the breeders led to the move in the wrong direction, not the EBV’s. They are a tool to aid breeding decisions, they aren’t responsible for actually making them.

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

@herdyshepherd1 @ThrimbyFarms Maybe so, but EBV’s are exactly that, a numeration of real world function that allows the breeder to make the correct and informed choice for their farm.

Times change and things move on…when they didn’t invent the mower because the scythe would suffice.

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

@ThrimbyFarms @herdyshepherd1 This is what Google says…Angus, Hereford, Senepol, and Barzona.

Stabilisers are the same concept - Angus, Hereford, Simmental and Gelbvieh.

Stabilisers however have a more science and data behind their breeding than any other cattle breed.

🤔 Given the colossal price of machinery, is it not too much to ask for a manufacturer to come up with something that is fit for purpose and keeps the operators safe, asks @jamesherrick...

Careful management, particularly post-calving, is required to ensure a 365-day calving interval is retained.

Sarah Penrose, senior knowledge exchange manager at AHDB beef and lamb, provides a step-by-step guide to post-calving management

Amazing work @1GarethWynJones 👍

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

Thanks guys, now pushing 90% after 5 1/2 weeks. 🙌🏻

@ThrimbyFarms @1GarethWynJones @FarmersGuardian @oxfordfarming @Minette_Batters @ProagriLtd @FarmersWeekly @JeremyClarkson You guys keep plugging away mate. I hope this behaviour is reflected in the attendance of the next Oxford farming conference, especially if no action is taken. You have my full support! Keep it the good work! 👍

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

@ThatWelshFarmer I think it’s very dependent on your sector and where you live. I’m Leicestershire and there are a lot of large scale arable or dairy farms, often with the backing of building money. They draw big wages and pay big wages, then there’s some smaller ones who don’t.

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

@AHDB_BeefLamb @NFUtweets @NFUNorthWest @farmernetwork1 We’ve had cull cows out on rotation since Feb 8th and cows with calves have been out 3 weeks now. 👌 🐂

[James Herrick @jamesherrick]

@agricontract @AldiUK @RedTractorFood I call bullshit. Red tractor is literally making a mockery of British agriculture.
