gnipper 6,494 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 You must have some very understanding farmers if they don't mind you stopping coz of milky does. We stop when the cover gets too much. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Shit loads down south and they are starting here as well. Pray for a cold snap in the next couple of weeks and they will re-absorb them, if not we're in for some hard work next month. Quote Link to post

Deanrow 1 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I bolted a 1/4 grown on saturday, I couldn't belive my eyes. It just hopped straight through the purse net without even disturbing it! Then bolted a doe on the next set that looked like she was about to drop any day. Quote Link to post
