    Hi there. I loved the video of your Renault tractor. What model is it? I looking at a Renault 751 4S next Saturday. It's a 4x4 with a loader. Any advice or things to look out for would be greatly appreciated. We're looking for a basic reliable economical tractor to lift silage bales and stack them with the loader, clean out sheds, Topping, fertiliser spreading and trailer work. Do Renault tractors give any bother starting from cold or electrical faults? Look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your advice. Best regards Mark

    Hi there. Loved the video. What model Renault tractor is it? I'm looking at a refurbished Renault 751 4S 4x4 tractor similar to yours next Saturday. It has a front loader as well. Any advice or things to look out for would be greatly appreciated. We're looking for a basic reliable tractor thats affordable for lifting silage bales of trailers and stacking them.

    Super update with mum again, Rufus. Your mum never gives up on any animal, be it lamb or calf. The weather seemed to change all of a sudden this month. The sun came out and everything looked better. The trees are green once again and the birds are singing. I loved the way her cows were standing at the gate watching all their mates out in the grass, while they were still locked in. But they weren't complaining. They appeared to understand what mum was saying to them. So sweet!

    Great to see your world warming up. We're at the end of calving with a few less than expected, but then Barry the Bull isn't as young as he used to be (and some of our ladies are pushing 'elderly'). We're going to keep one of our little boys intact so, when he goes back in in December, it will be Barry's last hurrah. A friend gave us a young, proven dorper ram (in return for Beef and homemade bacon😉) so he's currently understudying Patches the Ram, who will soon be retired to a friend's property. Older chickens are scaling back for winter and the newer girls won't come into lay for 3-4 weeks, so not many eggs. Bees are still out in profusion on sunny days but we didn't take honey this year. We've had our first proper frost this week (-5C), four weeks later than usual. Standard autumn-going-into-winter here.

    Good morning from Ludgershall. That was a slightly different format, but it worked well! No real need to worry over cows pushing each other around. As your mum knows, each group have a pecking order, but when another group are introduced, that order has to be reasserted. It's what animals do. But without horns, no damage is done, except to their pride! Yes. It's been a wet start to the year. The water table is very high, hence the flooded fields. We've also had some very mild nights. Frequently, the temperature has only fluctuated by one or two degrees in 24 hrs and with very few frosts, many flowers and shrubs are blooming early.
