Our Indian summer has come and gone, I had forgotten the “joy” of TB testing in non-breathable waterproofs. It was such a lift for everyone’s mood and it was a great time to get jobs done on the farm without having to shelter from the rain.
The bulls were castrated, the calves were vaccinated for pneumonia and the cow's tails got their short back and sides. The “Ploughing” is this week, a chance for farmers all over the country to take a well-earned break to Ratheniska.
