@JRfromStrickley Beautiful condition, just shows what good old British grass can do, why would anyone want to buy foreign rubbish after seeing these?

@redshepherdess Been there, done that, heartbreaking when they have to go back outdoors.

@longbushpork Also got one who's got begging off to a fine art - leans against my leg and softly grunts and yes it does work!

[Angela Slater @lythpig]

Just listened to #jeremyvine #radio2 on walkers being trampled by cattle, typical Biased Broadcasting Corporation - not a single comment from a farmer, only more cow bashing!

[Angela Slater @lythpig]

@herdyshepherd1 Kendal used to have the butter market where anyone could set up a stall and sell their produce. They still do this in France, why are bureaucrats here so hell bent on stifling markets with petty rules?

@herdyshepherd1 And people wonder why China has so many strains of swine flu.

@JoeWStanley Unfortunately a lot of people only see the countryside as their playground

[Angela Slater @lythpig]

@EnnoFarm Time spent watching pigs play is never wasted.

@TheHornedBeefCo Thank you really miss my cows.

[Angela Slater @lythpig]

That's heartbreaking

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

I try to avoid being too party political as frankly who wants that... but how politicians representing rural areas of the UK can mindlessly take us towards a US food system defies logic and sense

If you’re #walking in the #countryside USE YOUR #Brain

Dogs on Leads
Dogs can harm livestock

If you don’t have a brain stay away

This jerk chose to walk in a field with no footpath.
His dogs were chasing my cows hell for leather around the fields 🤬

The markets are closed or on restricted access

The prices of most British farm products have crashed in the last week as the supply chains have been interrupted

And @asda and @sainsburys are selling imported stuff rather than support their own farmers

[farmerben @farmerben4]

Couldn’t agree more.

[Angela Slater @lythpig]

@herdyshepherd1 Try The Farming Ladder by someone called Henderson everything in harmony.

@longbushpork Also keep pigs and you can forget everything else when you're with them. Thanks for the great videos, hope everyone keeps safe.
