While the team is very close to finalizing the 4.1 column, and fully aware of the Gibbening, we're going to need just a little bit more time before we add it to the Roadmap. You can expect to see more information coming very soon.
The 'Gibbening' they're on about is the release of the Carrack to the peasantry...SC slang as in "Gib Carrack!" Happens when every ship is released to flyable...Roadmap Roundup - February 14, 2020 - Star Citizen Spectrum
Happy Friday, everyone! Each and every week, we accompany the Roadmap update with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an...robertsspaceindustries.com
Thanks, I'm feeling unusually educatedMost of my cows are inside in this weather... serves 2 purposes...the cows don't get cold and neither do I when I go feed them You can normally spot dairy herds since they're predominantly Holstein-Friesian (black and white cows) which make up around 90% of the UK's dairy stock. I have a mix of Herefords and shorthorns (brownish cows) which are breeding and beef stock. I only have 2 dairy cows...which are a Hereford-Jersey cross for my own milk... plus 8 hens, 4 ducks and 2 geese roaming around the place for the eggs.
Bringing in silage...which is what you saw when you moved in is winter feed, the grass in the fields has little nutritional value during most of winter...plus the pastures get a chance to recover and be rotated. They have hay and supplements like cattle cake and rough mix too but the silage is the bulk of winter feeding.
If you have sheep, you can fire them out into winter pasture since sheep can graze shorter, poorer grass than cattle can....hence why you see sheep in the fields around you during winter. They'll probably be there until end of March/beginning of April and lambing season before the sheep go back to the hills...then the cows will reappear once the grass gets a late spring burst of growth....or the field will be ploughed for barley, wheat, potatoes, turnips or some other cash crop like oilseed r.a.p.e (really with the net nanny?)... depending on if the farm is mixed arable or not...or could even be left fallow for a year during rotation cycles.
You'll have to hope he doesn't use the field nearest to you when he separates the cows from the calves if it's a dairy herd...gets kinda noisy
Aye..I have 2 balers...a hay/silage square baler and a silage round baler/wrapper...as do most livestock farmers these days. There are combi ones that do both...but way too expensive for me.Thanks, I'm feeling unusually educated
I'm pretty sure the cows weren't dairy, sounds more likely they were a small herd (10 at most?) stocky looking brown cream and some black cows, so maybe breeding and beef as you mentioned.
The silage collection was amazing - wasn't the old (slower?) machine wrapping the bales, it was a small modern trailer attachment that almost instantly wrapped the bales in black plastic with a whirring noise. They turned up and loaded them all really quickly onto other vehicles over a few days. Neighbour seemed to think it wasnt the farmer but contracted out to someone with the best gear.
Was quite fascinating.
My dear GT - would you be kind enough to post a similar SQ42 Roadmap Update from say, nine years ago for direct comparison?
I'm getting older, and my memory is failing, and there simply has to be absolutely oodles of things that CI-G has delivered upon that I've simply forgotten.
9 years ago CR was saying 2-3 years would be ideal, any longer and it would become stale.
These are the oldest roadmap summary images from Odysseus-Ithaca, for SC and Sq42 respectively:My dear GT - would you be kind enough to post a similar SQ42 Roadmap Update from say, nine years ago for direct comparison?

Then there's this classic...
Zero crime here of any description...we don't even have a police presence on the island. They turn up every so often from the main island to check gun licenses, but that's about it..we also know when they're coming, the ferry crew phone aheadI would like to think that being on an island your equipment is safe(r) from theft - none of that gear looks cheap!
