Back to square one.

I heard with absolute horror that foot and mouth was back yet again. Farmers are really fed up and desperate with this news.
I have 15 prime steers ready to go to the store market at Liskeard. We have just had a pre movement TB test done on them. These results stand for 60 days. If we don`t sell them in this time we will have to pay for another test to be done.
The older bull is due to be sold after spending 3 years with us. The young bull is now old enough to work and I never like to keep 2 bulls in case they get together and fight.
The foot and mouth have put a stop to all these movements.
I was hoping to bid for 2 new rams yesterday at the market but of course that was cancelled. Our 6 old boys need a bit of help with the ewes. They will just have to soldier on.
Simon and Nigel have finished harvesting the oil seed rape thank goodness. It is horrible stuff to handle. If you spill a little bit it runs away like water. It not only gets in your boots but in your socks as well. Hopefully a lorry will take it away quite soon.
I don`t think we will grow any next year I much prefer growing oats.
