Re: Open Day

So that's your picture on page 17 of last Saturday's Farming Life?

The name 'FiringOnAllFour' hides your true identity pretty well!

I was on your farm a few years ago. Maybe from my name you can guess why! emoticon

I'm afraid I'll not be able to attend as I'm in England but all the best anyway. It looks like it will be an interesting event.

(The hog roast sounds good too!!!) emoticon

Re: Open Day

Awful picture. You can forget to smile in this weather.

I omitted to say that we at Kilrea. Detailed directions from Gordon.

Re: Open Day

I'd heard there was a rush on sales of Farming Life last Saturday! Lots of young ladies rushing to get their copy!! Watch out Mrs Bamford!!

Re: Open Day

So how did it go, was your front gate trampled by hordes of young ladies?

Re: Open Day

Broa, i'll reply as i know James is too modest to mention the larger than expected turnout,the good looking herd of cows, the well laid out housing for the robots, the quality maize silage, the plans for the future which i'll leave James to elaborate on.....however it was possibly too wet a day for the hordes of young ladies.

Re: Open Day

You're very kind Moore. The 'larger than expected turnout' was, not surprisingly, all male. Apparently, the ladies all took a wrong turn and never made it in time.

Had it been slurry-spreading weather, the turnout might have been less. I wouldn't even have been there! emoticon

Plans are for another machine. Mind you, haven't asked the bank yet. emoticon

I have to say the pig was very good.
