Rabbit netting……

Another chilly start, but not as cold as yesterday.
Mr Broon called in to go through my animal health plan which is up for its annual review. It now has to be signed off by a vet . The hoops we have to jump through now to follow all the legislation is getting beyond a joke.
Sent Kev next door to help brand the Blackie gimmers.
Stevie arrived in this afternoon to PD the spring calving cows we weaned on Wednesday. 29 out of 30 in calve with 2 carrying twins , so not bad. The one that is empty will be off to the mart on Monday.
Took the dogs a walk down to the quarry tonight to see what the fencers had been up to. This is where they have been fencing off for a new hedge. It’s 450 m long so should help with shelter and also wildlife habitat.We do a lot to enhance our farms that no one ever thanks us for, but it benefits the environment and wildlife as well as the farm.
