In normal circumstances she is sorta self regulating when it come to food . If she has not done much that day she will eat a small amount , if she has had a complete " bazzer " of a day she will scoff the lot and look for more . She of course was nil by mouth this morning . She is still a bit docile . She is walking about doing circuits of the lounge and garden . Did a big poo !  The waggy tail is slowly coming back . Sleeping now .  

How,s she doing this morning Andrerw?

Thanks matey . No she did have an infection in her " strawberry " but antibiotics sorted that a couple of weeks back . She is fit and lively again . I took her in this morning and she could not wait to get in there ! She is an amazing little spaniel with not a bad bone in her body . Wants to be friends with everyone .

Hope all goes well Stubby

Had a late start in the greenhouse but making up for it now, Tom's are just starting to turn, peppers on the way, cauliflower too. 

Outside the carrots have just swelled this week and we are thinning them as we go. Most of the garlic is out and drying, first harvest of onions too.

Beetroot are in full swing. My better half is jarring about half a dozen every night, along with strawberry, gooseberry, red and blackcurrants for jams. Ogorki (similar to gherkins) are coming steady. She jars them too. Looking at about 30 jars worth so far and not even halfway through yet. 

That’s a great crop of onions 👍

Here’s our Betty making the most of the fan.Think that’s where she’s going to be for the next couple days 

Veg garden not doing too bad this year

Pretty looking dogs Spuddog

No no, just a regular feral mog. Cats punch well above their weight though, I'd say each kilo of cat, when pushed, can easily win against, say, 15kg of human. 

Anyway, even though I took three canine teeth to the knuckle, I still won because I've still got my balls. All it cost me was (is, ongoing) two or three rounds of surgery, a week in hospital, and several hundred euro.

 

Winner!

Fu&&in hell i would say the cat is the clear winner here

Power is about 180w from memory, corded are typical 300-350.

 

How do they cope with dirty daggy bums, given that that's what we'll be using them for mostly?

 

I'm quizzing you because some on the farming forum say they're the best thing they've spent money on, and then some say they've bined them in less than two years as they were so hopeless.

 

You then wonder is that variable quality as they're made in China, or just how people use/abuse them?

 

Doesn't make it easy deciding.

Trimming up is what i use them for,no issues at all

1 minute ago, coppice cutter said:

How long have you had them for?

 

Not long,but there the best cordless ones i,ve used,they last about an hour on constant use

I know there's a few sheep keepers on here as I've seen them mentioned occasionally on other threads as I've been trawling through.

 

So can anyone give me any recommendations for clippers as an upgrade to my faithful Jakotis?

 

Opinions on the cordless set-ups vary hugely on the farming forums and I'm stuck between giving them a go or just a decent quality corded pair.

 

It'll just be for tidying up or primarily anything struck, the shearers will still be coming in for the big shear in early June so hanging motor and hand piece would be overkill.

 

I'm struggling to come to a decision so any further feedback from anyone on here would be very welcome.

Shearcordless mk2 are very good

The hayrack means sheep/goats. The barbwire means defo not horsey despite its pony paddock size. Barbwire normally means cattle yet it's too small for them. The oak means you have discerning clientel. Tell us a bit more of thinking behind the design?

It can't be just because it looks nice.

For instance, the verges are mown but there's a gate that goes across the road or is that a private tarmaced drive? Are the owners going to use livestock to keep the verges down?

Private concrete drive,the gate is there for crossing stock from one side to the other,the old fence i took down was the same style and customer chose to have it put back the same,only sheep on the farm and the customer will only have oak when it comes to post and rail.I,ve done 300 mtrs of it so far all round there garden.

Why are the rails and mesh on the outside, won't the animals lean against it and push the rails off?

No be fine,there’ll be 3 strands of barbed wire on the backside aswell
