When you have a small-ish sketch, it is better to copy-paste into a Code Window.
If it is a large sketch or multiple tabs, attach the INO or ZIP.

You have mixed types:

...
int m = 1;
...
    m = ("Normal")

...
    m = ("Breeding");
...

and the "Normal" statement is missing a semi-colon

So I suspect that your program will not even compile. If you don't understand an error message, copy-paste to your message.

Hi Dave
Thanks for your interest so far I do have these errors showing up if when I compile
Thank for the help so far

C:\Users\sbk261f\Documents\Arduino\sland_hok\sland_hok.ino:83:18: warning: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'int' [-fpermissive]

m = ("Normal");

^

C:\Users\sbk261f\Documents\Arduino\sland_hok\sland_hok.ino:92:20: warning: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'int' [-fpermissive]

m = ("Breeding");

The only way that weird assignment is going.to work is if m is a String.

Well you defined m as an integer number;

int m = 1;

So the complier will complain when you try to allocate a string to it ....................

m = ("Breeding");

Thanks everybody I changed the code a bit as below and got it sorted now I'm still stuck with the funny characters at the bottom right corner of the display.
Any ideas how to fix that

......
if (newMode == HIGH) {
display.print("Normal");
}
else {
display.print("Breeding");
}
......

Cut your sketch down until they disappear.
