Hanging by a thread !

The weather tomorrow just is not being very willing to play along with my plans, but then, thinking back, i dont think it ever has, i cant remember a single time ive booked a flight off during the winter & managed to leave on the day/time the flight was meant to be at. In order to have the best possible chance of getting off tomorrow, im bumped onto the morning flight instead of the afternoon which means that if only one flight gets in/out, ill be on it.

Bulls on Fair Isle, very often the best & most economic way of getting ones cows into calf, A.I is ok, but quite often A.I does not work the first, second, third & sometimes 4th time, timing with A.I has to be spot on, where as a bull will do his work a good few times during the period a cow is seasoning for so has a far better chance of getting a result & if we select our 2 new heifers with great care & attention to blood lines, we then have a totaly new blood line for this area, which gives us a product (not a term i like to use with animals, but its the best explanation ) worth putting out to the sales as breeding heifers & if we throw a really really good one, the odd bull for the sales, some things work far better when left to nature to make happen in the way it is designed to, and wee Hamish is such a steady wee lad, its a right shame not to give him the chance to make something of himself.
