If you add the other half of the farm it's 30000 acres Including the scrubland that is grazed. Guy who owns it also has 6 other farms, one of which is called a station, just cows and half a million hectares!

I dairy farm back in the uk, was working in New Zealand on a dairy farm from October last year till April. Now in Australia on a arable farm tractor driving. Small farm by standards out here. Only 3500 hectares!!!

You can never have to much Devon, don if I can say the same about Cornwall though haha

done two and a half years in england on a dairy farm, and recently finished 5 months on a dairy farm in new zealand. any questions ill be happy to help with

anyone had any experience doing this, having major issues finding the right form as the form number always seems to be wrong so the post office wont except. anyone know anything about these sort of things. cheers tom

ive got loads of YFC slogans, but i dont think there suitable to be posted on here haha

Im currently in New zealand working on farms, and hopefully going australia in april to do the same. only problem is my passport has suffered a fair bit of damage, started delaminating etc. worried i may not be able to leave here when it comes to it. has anyone had any experience with replacing a damaged passport when abroad? cheers flash

im currently in NZ, have been here for just over a month. Working on a dairy farm, which is what i was doing when i was in england, so getting a job before i came out easy. although the two people i work with came out with no farm experience and they were still able to easily get work in the farming sector if thats what you fancy. the place is amazing, if not a bit pricier then england, but the opportunities available are awesome!!!

not on a nightshift, but new zealand is 11 hours ahead so just finished work, still getting used to the time difference lol

haha not even joking, she was in my tutor in secondary school, her older brother was in my sisters year.

im friends with one of the models in the foxy hunter calendar

interesting fact, if you keep stiring marmite it turns nearly white!!!

think i may have explained it wrong it is really clear really close up, but anything past 5 cm is just a blur. just tried a reset but doesnt seem to have worked. any other ideas, apart from deleting all apps incase one of these is affecting it?

was due for an upgrade so decided to go for an iphone4. was fine for a day or two and now the main camera is horendously blurry. its fine up close up till about 5 cm from the screan and then u cant tell what it is ur pointing at. anyone know what this may be? cheers flash

silage wrap the entire car. or if u can get in there car, then polystyrene balls, more the better

decided that a van would be the most practical vehicle for me at the moment, as i cant justify another landy sadly got up to 1000 to spend, ideally want something like a kangoo or a kubistar. can anyone recomend anyother makes and models? cheers flash

that wld be FM hahahaa gutted mate

pics are now up in the sporting pictures section

and the final picture is of the evidence of it being a he she enjoy

i know it was a long range, but we had been out in the morning to check the zero so i was confident that i was capable with the range. fogot to say the rifle was a CZ .243 with a swarofski 8x56 i think, using norma 100grain. another thing i forgot to mention, is the buck i shot was a he/she, dont know any other way of putting it tbh. i will try and upload the pics now.

was recently introduced to one of my dads neighbours and friends, and got onto the subject of shooting down the pub. he is a volunteer gamekeeper for a decent sized shoot, and as i had nothing to do on the weekend i offered my services for some help on the shoot with feeding, maintenance etc. in return i got an evening sat in the high seat with my dad and his 243. finished work at 6 and then made are way up into the highseat, its a two seater so was perfect. after roughly 20 mins of waiting, i had sort of given up as the light would start to fade very quickly, but out of the corner of my eye i noticed a dark object moving on the edge of the sunflower cover crop(great for holding birds), had a look through the scope and instantly identified it as a roe, but i was unsure of the gender as it had its head down in the grass feeding. after watching it for roughly 5 mins it finally raised its head and i was able to identify it as a good condition buck, although i couldnt count the points at that range. after umming and arring for a few mins as to weather i was sure about the shot, as it was a fair distance i decided i was confident with myself and the rifle. placed the cross hairs just behind the shoulder held my breath and squeeezed. my first thought was that i had missed it due to the jump of the rifle, but dad was straight down the ladder and across the field, i followed him down and ran after him. it seemed to take forever to reach the deer, but when i arrived i was greeted by the lovely sight of a very dead 4 point buck, with a pretty much perfectly placed shot, dad had been watching it and it didnt even take a step, just hit the deck like a sack of spud. to say i was happy would of been an understatement, my first ever time out stalking, and my first ever shot on a deer had resulted in a very clean kill and a lovely set of antlers to remind me of the day. once we had finished bleeding and gutting it i decided to pace the shot out, just to see how far it was. i counted 239 paces, and it was then checked with a laser range finder, and was actually 247 yards. again pleased is an understatement ive tried uploading pictures, but phone is having a mare, will try again tomorrow. sorry for lack of pics at the moment

amstel seems to go down very well recently,pretty much the only thing ill drink down the pub beer wise, if they go it :unsure:

im currently looking into doing a working holiday in Australia, working on a farm. just wondering if anyone on the forum has ever done anything like this? my main is issue is how to go about getting a visa, have been told that i need a stupid amount of money in the bank before they will consider me for a visa, is this true?

if you want proper cider then try Wiscombe Suicider, absolutely lovely stuff. made in Devon in Southleigh, near Honiton. goes down far to easy, and i have yet to get a hang over from it been to many a cider making doo at the owners, and its still made in the traditional ways, using a horse to crush the apples etc. tis amazing to see.

sthil high flex are the best in my opinion, the husgy ones are like wearing a sleeping bag on each leg. and for boots i use aquafell experts, bloody comfortable, and water proof. much better then the husqy wellies lol
