Well my beloved steers (insert sarcasm), you may think you got the upper hand undoing my last two days of hard slog in a nanosecond. But, come this autumn I will be personally driving you to the slaughter house!
Many thanks to the neighbours for looking after Mini Crofter this morning.
And sheep: we need to come up with a plan B, any ideas that don’t involve the deer rifle as much as I know you think that that would instantly solve one of your problems?

Two for one ideas
NHS wants to save money? Mini crofter is getting weighted at home fairly frequently at the moment. Rather than sending a NHS employee out from Inverness, why not contribute towards a sheep weighting scale and I’ll do it for them. They can then use the time elsewhere, carbon emissions are reduced, and I get to monitor the sheep and mini crofter. Happy all round. Think the NHS Highland Board would accept my idea?
Questions for the Health Visitor this week:
1. What do other mums do with their wee ones when they need to feed hay to both lots of cows on the same day?
2. How do you keep a baby occupied while moving sheep pens?
3. What baby monitors work outside and have a longer range than just a couple of metres?
4. At what age can mini crofter go in the tractor with me?
