@RomanyHerefords @monitorfarms We are trying a Hereford over some of our Angus cows this year. I know the feeling haha

Finished on a high although you never get a twin when you want one 😂 calving done and bulls back out with some #farm365

Sadly after 20+ years with a minimum of 3 pairs of Lapwings in this field, they are gone. Badger sets in the next field and all ground nesting birds have disappeared. We need to discuss this biodiversity loss before the poor birds are gone for good. @RSPBScotland @NFUStweets

Lovely to see some well needed rain but it does make more rounds on the quad less appealing 😂

We were waiting for rain but that looks like it’s not coming and we can’t sit on our hands any longer 🙈 prayforrain 😅

New handling pens and caving trailer at the contract farming agreement. Making it safer and easier for one person to work away 👌

Fresh out the oven this evening, a ewe lamb with a pair of Shetland lambs 👌

One of the most satisfying jobs of the day is moving the fence for the cows in the morning 🌅

@bankhousefarm01 Haven’t had chance to measure it 🤫 however I’m quite pleased. 2t an acre of hen muck has helped

Twins dosed and onto grass for lambing
Fingers crossed the weather holds

[Windshiel farm @windshielfarm]

@epfedin Yes we go to portabello, the next one is the 1st of February and we can also deliver

Cows patiently coming across for breakfast this morning. Cracking start to the day

[Windshiel farm @windshielfarm]

Frost on the cows this morning

[Windshiel farm @windshielfarm]

Rams all taken out yesterday afternoon, mostly back onto grass or hay apart from a handful of leaner ones which have started on wholecrop

Lovely view for the girls on the next wintering spot 👌 stoney ground ✅ however very open to the elements so a plan B might be needed
