@FearnFarm @Shearwell It was an entertaining move!!

@vaderbogger We've not had the rain to any significant extent (Muir of Ord) and the grass on the knolls and lighter soil is starting to burn off/not recover.

Keyrings made by @Shearwell for @EdinvaleFarm to give out to pupils taking part in #FarmerTime 😊

@Cannydc1 @taijidubh I have no clue either....

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@HaannahFisher @taijidubh Sounds remarkably similar to my previous lifestyle!

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@gracle @taijidubh The shortbread - fabulous and famous! The grumpy somewhat grubby lady on the bakery - not quite so fabulous but definitely infamous!

@vaderbogger Excellent fish and chips in Skipton. My home town is 45 miles beyond 😊

@ClynelishFarm They're loving that!

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@AndrewMoir4 @AgronomistGrant Lime honey is wonderful!

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@KateBeavan Pretty extensive farming at 1 sheep per hectare 🤔

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@DogDuckLark My horses would have kicked the c**p out of the dogs - that was a saint of a horse!

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@FearnFarm @Shearwell Oh my....she will be dreaming tags and numbers!!!

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@ClynelishFarm @stuartajamieson @FearnFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell Dual frequency tags are a potential to be explored!

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@ClynelishFarm @FearnFarm @stuartajamieson @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell The tagging companies are as frustrated as you!

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@stuartajamieson @FearnFarm @ClynelishFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell No. The only UHF tags available in the UK are the pink Smart-Trak tags that ScotEID supply. ScotEID have issued readers to those in the pilot but they're not freely available.

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@FearnFarm @stuartajamieson @ClynelishFarm @EdinvaleFarm @vaderbogger @Shearwell There hasn't been any movement on cattle EID for ages - as far as I'm aware it isn't through legislation yet (may be wrong on that). Current proposed date for compulsory tagging of calves with EID (prob high frequency) tags is January 2022. Currently all tags are low frequency

[Jane Thomson @JaneOrrinside]

@HMRCcustomers No but when I went to do subsequent years it asked if I had previously made a claim, I said yes and it said I couldn't make any more?
