I might post videos in next few days but I might not.

I recently asked a group of young people what % of emissions they thought came from livestock and they all gave numbers north of 60%. Shocked when I told them the real numbers (11% globally as per latest from GLEAM; under 6% for the UK.) And even these lower numbers are a gross

Yup!!
We had a huge tree down across the road. Thankfully someone cleared it up. I was away from the farm when it fell, so nothing I could do but answer phone calls about it.

Moving lambs to fresh pasture is like herding cats youtu.be/CrzjLoSBhBw?fe… via YouTube Ewes rush ahead abandoning their lambs, leaving me to push them on. Lambs all assume they’ve left their mother’s behind so keep wanting to go back the way they have come.
