. . HHBEHE recent warm spring H mornings at Kitridding


« ; have been amazing: • ® : After the last three


months of wind and rain, it


r. . is a pleasure to sit out at the , I-.; front of the cafe with a mug of coffee watching the sun rise


• over the Howgills. . There is so much noise;


. . of frogs croaking, all facing . the rising sun to enjoy the ■ ., warmth, there are numerous —


the pond in the garden is full -


.. breeds of ducks on the lake playing about like kids in a


. .. swimming pool, and we have plenty of smart pheasants that - have out-witted the :■ '


_b ird s . .. and they all want to be heard.


• ' '


r guns and there is, of course, ■ , the resident choir of song


, -r


There was a tragic accident recently near us involving ' :


• a farm quad on a narrow back road. The quad rider, a


mother of three, died from her injuries. • . -


We use a quad around


the yard as a tool to do a job - carrying buckets of nuts, . bales of hay, scraping slurry and moving calves in a trailer.

“ d *h* .


Out in the field we use it for feeding sheep, looking at '


stock and for travelling to jobs.: such as walling, fencing or hedging.


< But until an accident occurs,


farmers don't take note of the risk these vehicles pose. When I had a moped nearly


40 years ago I always wore a crash helmet, but when you are just jobbing around the


.yard, a helmet takes longer to put it on than it takes to do the task.


, A road bike only goes forward, a quad has to go


backwards sometimes, and


it is very difficult to reverse a trailer as your head tends to turn in the helmet and creates a blind spot.


. But the main reason farmers don't like wearing helmets is


you can't hear what's going on around yo u .: ■


In the yards it could be ‘


children playing somewhere dangerous, out in the field it may be animals in distress and


probably be more farmer-


. if you can't hear them they will - probably go unnoticed. A cycle helmet would


friendly. , On farming matters


start lambing in two weeks'-- " time, and the sheep are now— .


enjoying a daily feed of sheep nuts.


, - - . Matching feeding to


expected births is the reason' for scanning; if a sheep having a single is overfed she will be over condition at lambing, plus her lamb will have grown


too large for her to have an easy birth:,'"-.. Fed correctly, however,


singles and twin lambs bom-*^ .‘will be of similar size for


an easy birth,triplets and quads will be smaller. Those : expecting triplets are on a kilo' a day, twins get half a kilo per day, but those only expecting one larhb feel they haVe been . badly done to, as they only ‘


get a taste. " ' If you would like to see the sheep before lambing, or in'- -


. April see lambing in full swing, I am happy to show customer^ around on Sunday mornings " during April, meeting at 9 v


o'clock for a chat and walk for about an hour, weather permitting.
