The TB test was passed without a hitch, next we test the whole herd on July 14th. Tomorrow I must make sure the restriction is lifted.
Its a wet windy night here in S Shrops, time the weather bucked up. This time last year we were in a state of chaos , with water every where. This year its the turn of the US to suffer flooding. This is a report from Agriculture online about the whole gruesome situation.
We are having great trouble with a huge flock of crows and Jackdaws around the yard. They are helping themselves to the cattle feed, which has barley and oats in it, its like a scene from Hitchcock's "The Birds" when we go to the yard the other side of the road.
My attempts to drive them off with occasional gun fire are not working, any one got a plan B ??

About Me
- Tim Teague
- Tim farms a mixed beef and grain farm in the beautiful South Shropshire hills. The farm produces wheat, barley, oilseed rape, oats and grass. The grassland feeds beef cattle which are all Hereford crosses valued for their superior eating quality. The river Corve runs through the farm and with a small tributary add up to 5 kilometers of river bank. This is currently part of a conservation plan to coppice the riverbank trees and keep the cattle out of the river with new fencing. Tim is a second generation farmer, his father not coming from a farming background. Sue is married to Tim and they have a little boy called Charlie, a terrier called Tag, two horses and rare breed chickens and a cat called JaJaBinks.
