The Official TFK Farming Thread

How is the work on the railway line causing TB?I see there’s people in town have had to move out of their houses cause of rats alright

They upset badger nests doing the work. When the badger moves to a new area they fight with existing badgers. They can end up in water tanks to cool down and their blood would end up in the cows water. High grass is also used to cool down so people zero grazing are often contaminating their stock with it.

Some mess.

Sorry to hear that. Around 10% of dairy herds locked up with it at the moment. A nightmare

Me mans slurry tanker pipe exploded though the rear window of his Fendt 724.

Nightmare stuff :flushed:

just to confirm, were you planning to slaughter these cows anyway?

Is he ok?

Sent onto me by a lad, don’t think he was in it when it blew. He did well to get a lad to clean it. I wouldn’t fancy that job.

No. They were milking cows.

I decided to do blood tests against the advice of many. I’ve eight more gone now.

So down thirteen cows overall and I’m locked up for 120 days.

I’m in for a very busy spring.

I’ve put so much into farm and worked really hard for the last few years and just when I was on the verge of making a few quid this happens.

Thanks .

The railway line was heaving with wildlife, badgers, foxes, hares, birds etc before @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy decided to run a bulldozer through it.

the good news is though, our national herd has been reduced

My friend sent it on, its not his machine. TBF, who’d fucking have a Fendt?

Has this lowered the temperature/reduced carbon levels…or impacted upon some other whimsical ‘metric de jour’

That line will be a white elephant
