    Old dog becoming incontinent, any advice?

    My old dog was incontinent, vet put her on incurin, I bought those rubber backed terry mattress protectors and wrapped her bed in them! Much easier to clean. She was on incurin for about 6months but has been dry now since last September.

    Travelling in a trailer with your horse

    Round bales in field

    Our wastage was unreal, probably lost the equivalent of a big bale over a month or so! since using a big bale net inside a sheep ring feeder wastage is probably about a full Haynet! Plus a big bale is lasting longer and at £35 a bale any wastage is unacceptable if there’s ways to minimise it!!

    Rats

    Normal snap traps are useless for rats, fine for little mice. It’s Fen Traps you need for rats. You can pin them down with the chain or put in a fen cage.
