Views from the farm

Lovely Photos 

They kept me in a job for 40 years, they are my best mates, I even chose to have a Bovine Aortic Replacement Valve rather than a Pig's

Nice pics 'Goldie', I may be alone in this but have always fancied helping out on a farm especially harvesting, lambing etc, and now in retirement even more so. My limited services would be free but its not an opportunity to do so

It's not as if I can go knocking on a farmers door asking if he wants a hand.

While we sometimes struggle to get away etc, leaving just my son plus part time worker (or vice versa), untrained casual help    isn't really an option. Modern dairy farming isn't just about milking (and we wouldn't let anyone else milk our cows!). Feed rations and cow management are all part of it.

But sometimes we need an extra hand to take the cows down the road to a different field in summer.!

Thanks Goldie, will look forward to the "going out for the summer" pics too. 

Great pictures i spent a lot of my youth working on a farm and they were some of the best days of my life.

Goldie they're lovely photographs. Thank you for posting them. It's nice to get an insight into other people's working worlds. 

Thanks for posting the photos, new life on the farm, nice!

I enjoyed looking at your piccies Goldie, particularly the new born calf.

Great pictures, Goldie. BTW how are managing with getting to your far fields. Have you got a bridge up over the river yet?
