Welcome to the Greenheyes farm journal.
I hope to update the journal on a regular basis (at least monthly) to
show the work done on a farm as the year and the seasons progress.
DECEMBER REPORT. Then the rain set in and we have only had 2 days frost during which to spread the slurry (manure,) then the spreader broke down after 2 loads and the chance was lost. Continuing with the livestock, 3 cows have calved producing 2 black and white bulls and 1 black and white heifer. She is now in the rearing pens and the bulls are still suckling on the cows until christmas is over and the markets re-open. Christmas has come and with it the Turkey plucking at Dorothy's parents Farm we spent 3 days doing about 200 birds. Christmas over and the morning before New year's Eve a sleeper snapped in the slurry store fortunatly it wasn't too bad but the repair was carried out in 1 meter deep slurry. On this note I'll see you in the new Millenium and I hope All your festivities went well . See you next month PHIL. |
