Maxred, funny you say that, I've noticed a new breed of farmer in these parts recently , usually mid twenties early thirties who have had a several million pound farming asset handed over to them from family, they actually believe they are clever and have somehow earned it and act like everybody else is a stupid bastard, there arrogance, lack of business acumen normally ends in them hitting the skids with the banks and resorting to insurance and other scams. I could read this guy like a book. He's now seriously back peddling and miracle of miracles he's now saying he has separated the healthy ones from the "others" (he means the dead ones I presume) the insurance have told him they have appointed a vet who needs to meet his vet to review the blood/tox results from the "dead" cows he's stalling on turning over his vets contact info or allowing a site visit. Says he's busy shearing sheep !!!
Edited to add: I haven't mentioned to him yet the fuel in the tanks was Shell's finest unleaded and the battery which is still in good working order with no cracks is a gelcel. Let him keep digging for a while.
