A BEAUTIFUL POEM BY BETH RONALD (10) A LOCAL FARMER'S DAUGHTER ENTERED IN OUR SCHOOL'S COMPETITION LAST YEAR AND RECENTLY PUBLISHED IN HE SCOTTISH FARMER.
THE FARMING YEAR
BY BETH RONALD (10) BALMAHA
January: Snow falls heavily in the winter air, Animals hibernate – nocturnal with care, Farmers feed their animals – silage, cake and hay, To keep them healthy and strong through each dark day.
February: On the farm, scanning has begun. Orange, blue and red sprays are used, So that singles, twins and triplets don’t get confused.
March: In the calving shed, new life as we look, New-borns trying to stand and take their first sook, Sometimes they need help to find the milk teat, But when they do, frothy colostrum is a treat.
April: The lambing shed is bursting out, When one’s lambing there is a shout, Driving around in the quad and trailer, It’s all about the sheep, not time to get out the baler.
May: All the cows line up in front of the crush, Getting preened, clipped, then brush, brush, Goats, sheep, chickens and the rest, Of the animals which are best of the best.
June: The sheep are gathered in, To be sheared and the wool not to be thrown in the bin, Tied in a ball and put in a bag, Sewed up with string and labelled with a tag.
July: The chopper’s out running down the field, Tractors and trailers collecting the yield, Tea outside is something you can’t beat, Gammon, potatoes and ice cream – what a treat.
August: Off to the market with the pickup and trailer, With Charolais, Herefords and Salers, To hand the animals over to the auctioneer, Hoping for the best value whether it’s a cow or a steer.
September: Now you can see the Harvest moon, Barley, wheat and oats are coming soon, The combine needs oiling as it’s to work ‘till all jobs are done, Including baling and stacking under the sun.
October: This is the month to sell, Prime lambs which have grown so well, Farmers, hopefully, smiling in delight, But only if their average price is right.
November: By now the weather’s getting cold, All the lame tups must be sold, While the suitable rams have a busy month, Mating and hopefully making a lamb…or two!
December: Oh goodness, winter’s here again, No doubt lots of wind, rain and rain, Twelve quick months – a busy year, The start of a New One is now here.

Thanks to everyone who came along to our Hoe-Down celebrations on Friday night. We really appreciate it especially as the day after was so busy for so many.
Drymen Show has continued for 200 years because of the people who support it and with the show of support we had this year at the show itself and on Friday night (especially from our youngest generations) we have high hopes it will be running again for another 200!
