SCRAPYARD TOUR IN RURAL FRANCE

In today's episode of farming life at La Forge, we are scanning our heifers to see if they are in calf, by scanning the heifers first we'll know if we have enough replacements so that if any cows are not in calf we can get rid of them. Then Dad and myself are off to buy Scrap! we drive 2.5 hours to a scrapyard to buy a burnt down muckspreader. Dad explains his plans for it and then we give you a tour of the scrapyard

Great to see you PD cows in the locking yokes. We used are Jourdain locking yokes for TB testing for the first time - brilliant. Will have to buy more as didn’t have enough for all of them - so put them through the crush. All clear thankfully for another 6 months. All the cows were in calf thankfully. New for us was vacinating for DVD and clostridial as a bit more protection. I had to laugh when you told ‘dad’ not to scuff his feet - surprised you didn’t get a ‘dad’ quick answer back. Amazing scrapyard - I could do with a working back end for my Ford 7810, have lost 2nd and 4th gear - might be able to repair it via the stub axel. Wish I could get a set of the double zip overalls here, unprinted, I have never worn overalls due to the single zips!!!! I would need Brunyee Salers printed on mine 🤣🤣🤣 A lovely Sunday Evening Video treat. Stay safe and keep smiling.

Back in the early 1980’s I use to run my agricultural contracting with Le-boulch 12 ton wide spread muck spreaders pulled by Ford 7710 and loaded with matbro ram & teleram 40D which came from Matbro in Horley Surrey, Great videos of all the burnt out agricultural machinery and listening to the person with you explaining the burnt out spreader and his future plans, 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
