    Occasionally it’s good to be succinct. But in all seriousness it scares me a bit that folk think either him, or them, are good guys ......

    Just a quick one. Just be a bit careful with the heat lamps. Always a bit twitchy with bulbs and wires and stuff in kennels, always a little nervous of anything that gives off heat, it doesn't take too much to lead to fires. Paranoid maybe. In theory, a healthy dog thats rubbed down and put in a dry, draught free kennel, with good bedding, should be warm enough. Some sort of air blower would be a good shout, we use similar with lambs. Failing that, heated floors are the pinnacle of posh!

    Nice to see some dogs with legs underneath them. I don’t see many bull x that really stand out, I like to see a strong but fast body, good feet, good head. Something that can run but can hit most things like a brick. A lot seem to either be greyhoundy or heavy bull type. With less of that perfect balance in between. Just my opinion.

    Genuine question this, not being smart. . . . . . but what happens if you dont have many mates, or a very big circle, and dont have many family members etc. I keep my self very much to my self and if I had to home 9 pups with folk I know into dogs and the same type as me, I think id really struggle. But id also really struggle to put any down. Ive never bred a litter.

    Get the dog so its your mate and has manners and take it lamping if you want a lamp dog. Personally I like to start its work at night, if thats its intended game. Tug train as a pup, get it retrieving and good recall, and then get it out catching stuff and the rest will mostly follow. Don't go lighting stupid stuff up, dont keep light on if its missed or pissing about, and dont lose your cool!

    Someone smart once said, "the greatest trick they ever played was to convince you that you are powerless to make change". Someone else smart once said "It just IS bro, you just got to get on with shit". I think I kind of agree with both, but as I've got older I've come to realise that to be angry all of the time and continually rage against the machine, is fairly tiring and gets in the way of life. All you can really do is day to day do your part to try to make the world a little bit better and less f****d up in your immediate life surroundings. Look after yourself and those you love

    Yer I totally get that! What I meant is if you take a normal commercial tex x lamb and grass really it, kill it right and hang it right it tastes awesome, a lot better than same lamb from supermarket. Same with chooks, mixed diet and great air and those cobs taste banging! Om a side note, the two best steaks in an international taste test were an intensive reared continental beast and an old dairy cow ? so what do we know ?

    I honestly think breeds mean less than how it’s reared!

    It’s not as hard as you think, deffo worth looking into mate - lots of folk sell pork, lamb etc and all that. How many folk sell locally reared, home produced salami / chorizo etc etc. Lots of pubs and restaurants use it also and very few folk produce it etc. Heritige salad crops is another - perpetual cropping, sell small salad bags and also supply a restaurant etc. Look at the price per kilo for some nice rocket etc! Easy to grow in a poly tunnel! There are quite a few little things you can do.

    Adding value is a hell of a way to go ...... For example ..... Pork ...... 5/10 quid a K Salami - keeps for ages ..... 60 quid a kilo! Thats how I’m heading I think - Home made chorizo Muntjac Jerky Rabbit and pigeon salami etc Theres some serious money to be made there from a small ish turnover. Just something for you to think about while eating your bacon!

    I can see you’ve obviously read up on it. What gets me is that although much of what you say above is true to a certain extent, there are just as many folk not doing the above at all! At the end of the day, farmers are out to make money, but are also custodians of the land - and many do take that quite seriously. Treating the land as you have described, doesn’t ultimately make you as much profit as perhaps it once did, a case of both diminished returns and people just wisening up! There are huge numbers of large scale farming operations doing the opposite of what you say above. We fa

    People keep talking about these intensively reared products and large scale commercial farming and all its negativity. Can you explain what you actually mean ? And re decent food being more financially accessible - it’s not got so much to do with farmers as the rest of the chain. I often find small scale producers charge crazy money for something which isn’t overly special.
