That man’s attending to the fiscal security of the nation, while negotiating ten pints and fettling a stable over wags, one of whom is nonplussed about the company. I’d treat his advice on husbandry with caution
Is this not the wife he “left” / got thrown out by/ deserted around Christmas last year in the midst of a midlife mental realignment. The reference to WAGS is therefore funny. I had HAGS in mind actually.
Pay parity and pensions are the priority.
Heifers are always a risk, your husbandry and faculties should be up to scratch. Maybe leave the bovine midwifery & early rearing to full time farmers.
