I wonder how many of the animals he loved, he has sent to slaughter? 🤔

No wife,...yet 'loved' his animals is perhaps more of a worry 😀

Seriously, wisbech raises some points in that it is by no mean a level industry.
In Sussex, i saw very little in the way of farming activities going on, yet there was farmland, a big farmhouse, one farm with a helicopter pad in its large garden and another farmer who drove a Mclaren F1. Some farmers were already selling land to developers, expanding villages into small towns.
I have seen no such agricultural luxuries as helicopters or sports cars in Wales. Farmers work long hours and generally have little social time or people interaction, except for delivery drivers and going to the farmers supplies shops/farmers auctions. If they do have sizable profits, then they aren't enjoying the benefits from them.
Except they now are following the Sussex model of selling land to developers. Growing population (due to immigration, not birthrates) and reductions in food production capacity.
Yeah, there's going to be problems in the near futures. But not our Governments problem. They'll be gone soon with ring-fenced finally salary pensions
That'll be for another Government to try and sort out. Or not.

The only farmers I'm acquainted with have been playing up again recently

A most unfortunate condition and one almost guaranteed to receive no sympathy except from those similarly afflicted. Perhaps there's a place they could all hang out together.

Get yourself a tube of Preparation H - once it has shrunk the farmers to insignificance, it can be used lightly under the eyes to remove those bags that tell the tale of the night before.... but do wash your hands between application in the different parts......

Obviously putting mascara on the metric miles is where I was going wrong.

Eventually all of them. They are a herd of Aberdean Angus steers. That’s their purpose. If we didn’t eat them they would not have a life. As it is they have a great one, on lush meadows cared for by someone who really respects them.

He had a wife but she was an alcoholic who eventually left him and ended up in care. Sad really.

We can solve all of this by the amount of people who would like to identify as farm animals.
