thanks i have sent you a pm

thanks i will have a look:thumbup:

hello if your interested in this thread about bovine tb i found a must read link iam sorry i havent got a clue how to paste a link http://www.eureferendum.com/blogveiw.aspx?blogno=84006

its the same up here in north devon nearly every dairy/ beef farm are down with btb or have just had movement restrictions lifted and just hoping next time they are tested they go clear after todays protests the governing bodies need to see how serious this situation is everybody wants to know the true facts not '' he told me this but i say that'' this problem is all over europe if this goes on unchecked and no action taken what next will mutate into the deer population and infect them as well

beautiful sky and cloud formation :thumbup1:

he is a nice little chap hope he flys off ok hope you named him ''sooty'':thumbup1:

this is very true:thumbup: a badger has no predator above him and there numbers have increased ten fold over the years and are too numerous for there own welfare they do carry the tb virus it is often in small pockets of infected animals and most farms have a badger sett but these badgers travel miles every night foraging digging up allsorts , and if when your out and about in the country you see a badger out and in the daytime there is a chance it is'nt feeling 100% and as setts get overcrowded different badgers get pushed out and they gotta find there own territory which is often on top of another group of badgers and if they are infected with tb then do they pass it on to other badgers or cattle?? who knows defra should be testing all culled animals and there waste. period and stop dilly dallying around and get a solution underway where all animals can be healthy. it is costing the country millions killing all the dairy and beef animals, and with the country's population of people growing, that food isnt in the food chain it is condemmend so therefore you automatically have a short fall of beef and beef products and hence higher prices per kg which like the tb compensation scheme has grown ten fold over the last twenty years the same as the badger population so it is a big big problem all over europe the goverments of the e.u need to sort this out once and for all and get some concrete facts and evidence and act on it :thumbup:

i was thinking about that the bottom brash is quite thick on the edge trees but as you go into the wood the trees are quite bare alot better and i noticed there is hardly any dead trees in the plantations very good equal growth on most trees :thumbup:

hello mark thanks for that but he is the one i always use and he has a big order on a slow boat from china and he is waiting cheers shavey

hello the supplier where i get my 1m3 vented log bags from in winchester is waiting for delivery and it looks like 4 weeks before delivery i was wondering if any body knew of any for sale i could order quickly thanks:thumbup:

well said

thanks for the comments :thumbup: it is nice to work for a someone who is more interested in having a tidy woodland rather than go in and cut like hell and no time or money for cleaning up properly next week i shall go in with the hedge trimmer and tidy up the boundary hedges and cut back the sitka brash to open the rides up a bit :thumbup1: we have been so lucky with the weather to do this job:thumbup:

yes the owners want it all tidy so they can waik around at there leisure and also there is a nice herd of red deer in the area in total there is 40 acres sitka spruce & jap larch and 19 acres of mixed broadleaf all approx 15yrs old it is all planted on grassland so after the harvester has been in and done some line felling hopefully we can soon tidy up after:thumbup:

this is after a couple of days cutting out the thorns brambles hazel and ash its starting to get into shape now:thumbup:

just started clearing the rides and walkways ready for the processer to come in and do some thinning they havent been touched for approx 15yrs none of the trees have been brashed so interesting job :thumbup: put some pictures up now and as the week goes on i will add some more cheers andrew
