Weaning time for the heifer group. Perfect weather for the job 👌

“Farmers of the future” cycling their way around Parliament Square in toy tractors after (adult) protesters were told they would face arrest for blocking London roads with their vehicles

Heifer group enjoying another day of sun. Not quite winter rations yet but they are enjoying some well "cooked" hay.

Well, it was a 1st for me today. Protesting these ridiculously thought out taxes. The turnout showed the scale of the problems we face.

Last day on top of the hill for these girls today. Move down a level tomorrow onto normal bale grazing to get them through to calving in April.

Last couple of bale unrollers of the year away today. We have built alot more that I thought we would. Thank you to everyone who has bought one and also to the Pasture For Life team for your endorsement. Merry Christmas 🎅

School boy error on the hill bale grazing this morning!! Wind causing havoc Robert Mitchell... 🙄😂

❄️❄️ O U T W I N T E R I N G ❄️❄️ On this cold, wintery day - here’s a thread about outwintering 🧵 I’m going to share what we do, why we do it, what we have learned and answer some questions along the way. 1/

During this cold snap, we have been very happy having this frost free trough. As always, modifications to the infrastructure needed but no need to worry about frozen troughs is brilliant. Its quite funny watching the cows walk back and forward across the hill in single file to it

And just like that the snows all gone and were back to wind and rain

New hedges getting their wolly jumpers on. All the song birds 🐣🪺 should have lovely cosy nests this year.

Stuart Mitchell And we have one of your bale unrollers - fantastic bits of kit.

What a glprious week it is for doing some drainage and installing an extra water tank. Awesome place we live. The spring sun fairly lifts the mood. 🌞🌞🌞

That great time of year again!!

Some year for frog spawn! It's everywhere

What glorious weather!! 🌞🌞🌞

Could get used to this weather for calving time. 3 weeks in today and just clocked 80% calved. Just another 3 weeks to go. Cows bunching up into their mob for ☀️ ScottishOrganic Pasture For Life

Well that's the quickest I've jumped out my bed for a while #run #iykyk

Wool on the new hedge doing well fighting off the drought and now the weeds

Fab day with our SEFARI Gateway Environmentally-sustainable Livestock Farming (ELF) Working Group The Moredun Foundation today, including a trip out to our institute farm at Firth Mains, lots of great discussion and ideas for future research! Thanks to all concerned! 👍🐑 🌳 🐄 🐦 🌺 💩 🪲
