Northumberland's combines are out!

And were off - combines in Northumberland have peeped out of the sheds into a couple of fields today - I seen a Claas Dominator and a NH today - the NH further quite a bit further on than the dominator. So, i think we are going to get going on wednesday hopefully, with the new lexion. This time hopefully the pic may work longer than a day...

 

I had the task of moving turkeys today - by hand. They were due to go into there new house and i put some straw down for them, sorted the last niggles out and there in now - the cock bird being a hell of a weight now! He will be off for christmas, poults are due next weekend - however, remind me to stick with cattle, sheep and pigs (cattle most favoured, pigs least) poultry are a night mare and theres more feathers in there pen than there are on the birds now - minimises plucking i suppose!?

Hopefully i will have some pics from our own combining next week.

Success with the pics this time! :)

So you think turkeys are worse than pigs then? I'm sure you wouldn't have felt like that about Brenda...

Oh god, turkeys are worse!!!! With pigs, if it dont work, you can just pick them up (weaners anyway) or handle them easier, with turkeys they just flap and fly and swuark - not a poultry person!! Dont mind hens and there cute when there young but once there a decent age - i very much dislike them - grandad hates my cock bird (thought i better put bird after that so no one gets any funny ideas) he cratched him to hell!!!!
