    not being smart but the amount of people that seem to think that being "around" a farm qualifies them to work on a farm is unreal , or the other one i get is if you are able to do it i would be able to:eek: ..... if you are seriously looking to work on a farm i suggest you try it out some where for a week and then you will know ... put an ad in your local free ads paper or on gumtree

    what part of wicklow are you in.
    what dose "being around a farm" equate to in real terms
    is it a job you are after or just some experience
    any amount of hard work and long days for spring calving,
    forgot cold, wet long, hard days

    Thanks for the advice.

    You forgot "trying to put a calf with weak legs, and a bad suck reflex, sucking on a cow that hates the ****e of both yourself and the calf" :D:D

    Shure, you would never ever think about swearing in the middle of all that :pac:

    You know, I actually got a newborn calf to drink a cow last year, with both to them lying down. A quiet cow, I wanted to get to bed, she was weakened after calving. The calf was a big heavy charolais bull, finding it hard to stand. The calf got his belly full, the cow stood up and I went to bed.
    He's as big as the cow now!:D

    And Darrenon, dont mind them. You might make a better farmer than the lot of us put together!
