Card 15. And it's... another hazard!

HAZARD : ADMINISTRATION

Kisseena goes with a 6!

6. Replacement sheep racks cost £30.

What do you use a sheep rack for? Never mind.

canas gets a 3!

3. Purchase replacement implements for £60.

For implementing.

Hana's is a 5!

5. Replacement sheep troughs cost £40.

Jasi gets 5 too.

5. Replacement sheep troughs cost £40.

And Sir Deimos finished with a 2!

2. Tractor overhaul. Pay £70.

You're the one with the tractor overhaul? After Hana and Kissy's tractors were... never mind.

Well, these are coming thick and fast now... The next card is a double hazard!

-DOUBLE HAZARD CARD-
Insert before Card No.16.

This card is a CROP ADJUSTMENT. I guess you each found some spare fields somewhere, or something. Anyway, roll the dice to decide which crops to plant in your extra fields! (This can get expensive if you hit potatoes...)

Kisseena goes first with a 6!

6. Increase barley and oats acreage by 10 acres each at a total of £70. Pay the money to the Bank.

canas gets 6 as well.

6. Increase barley and oats acreage by 10 acres each at a total of £70. Pay the money to the Bank.

Hana gets a 2.

2. Increase barley acreage by 10 acres at £30 per 10 acres. Pay the money to the Bank.

I guess it's not just wheat on your farm any more...

Jasi rolls 5.

5. Increase potato and wheat acreage by 10 acres each at a total of £270. Pay the money to the Bank.

Why are potatoes so expensive?

Sir Deimos gets 3.

3. Increase oats' acreage by 10 acres at £40 per 10 acres. Pay the money to the Bank.

That's enough hazards for now... Time for another auction. It seem Tree Tops Farm is having a sale!

Well, you all avoided going into the red!

Onto card 18.

It's a hazard! Your cows have finished giving birth!

HAZARD : SPRING CALVES

Your herd has now had all its spring calves and the number of cows calving is just half yuor herd (excluding fractions).

So, die rolling time again.

Kisseena does poorly and gets a 2.

2. You lose 3 calves. You have 11 heifer calves and the rest are bull calves.

With 52 cows, you started with 26 calves; after the three deaths, you're left with 11 heifers and 12 bullocks.

canas does fairly well with a 4.

4. You lose 1 calf. You have 13 heifer calves and the rest are bull calves.

You have 59 cows, so 29 calves; that means 13 heifers and 15 bullocks.

Hana rolls a 5, nicely done!

5. You have 13 heifer calves and the rest are bull calves.

With your herd of 63, that means 31 calves; 13 heifers and 18 bullocks.

Jasi does poorly with a 2.

2. You lose 3 calves. You have 11 heifer calves and the rest are bull calves.

58 cows to start with means 29 calves; you end up with 11 heifers and 15 bullocks.

Finally, Sir Deimos gets a middling 3.

3. You lose 2 calves. You have 11 heifer calves and the rest are bull calves.

Your herd numbers 56, so 28 babies; 11 heifers and 15 bullocks.

Okay, I'll let you admire the new additions to your farms for a bit... No action needed yet...

excellent, I can't wait to brand those suckers jump in there and wrestle them down and take the hot iron to them

[Sir Deimos]

Jesus, Canas. You make it sound so sexual.

[canas is back]

lol, well you do remove their balls if their males.

[Jasi]

How does canas have so much more money than the rest of us!?

[Kisseena]

Ahh I'm broke. D:

[Showsni]

He sold a bunch of his piglets; and didn't invest all his money in potatoes, like Jasi.

Card 19! About time we had a hazard, eh?
 

HAZARD : GROWING CROPS

You know the drill Roll them!

Kisseena gets...6!
 

6. Extra basic slag for poor pastures costs £30.

You've got to have an extra basic slag if you have poor pastures.

canas rolls 4.
 

4. Resowing poor corn crops costs £50.

Hana gets a 2... These rolls are getting worse and worse.
 

2. Drought. Resowing corn crops costs £70.

I thought resowing corn cost £50?

Jasi goes for 4.
 

4. Resowing poor corn crops costs £50.

Sir Deimos finishes the round with another 4.
 

4. Resowing poor corn crops costs £50.

Well, enough of the negatives... Looks like it's time for a cash injection! Not only is it the time of the month for milk, but your flocks of sheep are ready to be sheared!
 

APRIL MILK YIELD : WOOL CLIP

You receive from the Milk Marketing Board a payment for your April milk, which works out at £6 for each cow that you own at this date.

Wool Clip. You receive £60 for your flock's wool clip.

You'd think having more sheep would mean more wool...

Anyway, doing the maths, you gain:

Kissy: £372
canas: £414
Hana: £438
Jasi: £408
Sean: £396

And next we have... a random insertion card! It's one of those "buy stock" ones.

Card 26! We are officially halfway through the year (and thus the game)!

Uh oh. It seems like there has been some sickness in the stock! It's another hazard!

HAZARD : SICKNESS IN STOCK

Roll well, everyone!

Kisseena gets a 2!

2. You lose two cows with pneumonia and get £2 for the carcases.

I guess no one really wants a dead pneumatic cow.

canas gets a 2!

2. You lose two cows with pneumonia and get £2 for the carcases.

There's a lot of it about, it seems.

Hana rolls 2.

2. You lose two cows with pneumonia and get £2 for the carcases.

The great pneumonia epidemic continues...

Jasi gets a 4.

4. You lose a cow with milk fever and get £1 for the carcase.

Sir Deimos finishes with a 1!

1. You lose 2 cows with fever and get £2 for the carcases.

Well, that's a lot of dead sick cows. It could be worse; anyone lucky enough to roll a 6 finds all their calves are developing ringworm and loses every single one of them.

Bill time with card 27!

JUNE BILLS AND QUARTER'S BILLS

Pay Wages and Sundries
for June....................................£200

Pay your Corn Bills for the second quarter of the year computated as follows:-

Hana has to pay £344, and is bankrupt! And £73 in debt.
Jasi has to pay £308, leaving £450
Sir Deimos has to pay £428, leaving £390

Okay, the rest of you can look over card 28 and decide whether or not you want to buy anything:

BUTTERMILK FARM SALE

Stock sold by Auction with reserve

2 cows, reserve price £125.
10 ewes, reserve price £35.
3 cows, reserve price, £185.
10 bulls calves, reserve price £45.

As for Hana, I'm afraid you'll have to sell off some stock at bankruptcy prices until you're out of debt. You currently need to raise £73. You can sell stock to the bank as follows:

£30 for cows
£3 for ewes, heifer calves
£15 for sows
£25 for horses
£1.50 for lambs, bull calves, store pigs

Or you can try and arrange deals with the other players to buy your animals for whatever price you set. You need to raise that £73 before the next card, though!

[Hana-Nezumi]

Damn...

Sell my horse and 16 ewes.

[Kisseena]

45 for the bull calves.

[Sir Deimos]

Nope. No buy.

[Kisseena]

Will my bulls grow up to be bullocks?

[canas is back]

The two cows please for 130

[Jasi]

I would like to buy the two cows for £125.

[Showsni]

Will my bulls grow up to be bullocks?

Sure, if you castrate them.

Jasi, canas is already outbidding you on the cows...

So, hammer falls! After that buying and selling:

Card 29! That was a quick month; apparently it's already time for the July bills. Luckily, you're getting June milk money first to help cover it...
 

JUNE MILK : JULY BILLS

You receive from the Milk Marketing Board a payment for your June Milk, which works out at £4 a cow, and you pay a corn bill of £1 per cow, which results in you receiving £3 nett for each cow that you own at this date.
Pay Wages and Sundries for July.................£200

Kisseena gets £150 and pays £200........-£50
canas gets £177 and pays £200...........-£23
Hana gets £210 and pays £200............+£10
Jasi gets £171 and pays £200............-£29
Sir Deimos gets £162 and pays £200......-£38

We'll head straight on to card 30... Hazard!

It's finally Harvest time! Obviously, the bills are going to be a bit bigger for a few months, as you hire on extra farmhands to help with the harvest. Of course, harvest time isn't without its fair share of hazards... Lets roll and see what befalls you.
 

HAZARD : HARVEST, & JULY MILK

You receive from the Milk Marketing Board a payment for your July milk which works out at £4 for each cow you that you own at this date.

You might well need that milk money.

Kisseena! You get £200 for your milk. Then you roll a 5!
 

5. A horse dies. You get £1 for the carcase.

I guess you were working him too hard to bring in the crops...

canas gets £236 milk money, then rolls 5!
 

5. A horse dies. You get £1 for the carcase.

FLOCK CONSERVANCY:
SUMMER AUCTION

You must sell your 20 poorest ewes to make room for replacements to keep your flock up to standard. You receive £60 for them.

Sell all your heifer calves for £10 each.
Sell all your bull calves for £7 each.
Sell any lambs you like at £16 for a pen of five.
Sell any horses you like for £35 each.

Is that really a thing? Farmers just sell off a third of their flock every year regardless? Well, that's what's happening. You're also all selling all your calves. Since we're only in this farming business for a year, we're not keeping any to grow up into cows.

You can choose to sell some lambs and/or horses, at the rates mentioned.

After the mandatory selling, your standings are:
