I had my old cow (Beeches Della 11th) PTS on the farm a few weeks ago. She was over 17 and not in calf.

I have reregistered myself on this forum as for some reason it would not let me on in my previous guise of Louise B. I don't know why this was and of course I have had to use an old email address to overcome that issue. I found it difficult to see a way of communicating with the board's administrat...

One useful argument for you to use would be the strict biosecurity needed to guard the integrity of your herd. My friend put a mobile caravan on the land, then added a block built shower and toilet area, having connected to the mains water and electricity. At a later date the caravan was replaced w...
