We had to do it on a mountain bike trip, running repairs to limp back down.
Duct tape we used. Surprisingly strong stuff.

Clifden Mart last February, good honest Connemara springer she done really well .. she is fit to kill with calf coming off of her.. might kill her next harvest or go again either way she more or less paid for herself in 8/9months..

You need an odd beast like that to turn a euro,father bought 2 middle aged aax cows with ch bull calves with them off land few yrs back,starved stock,1000 euro each team,calves did great thrive and sold in back end for 850e avg....cows were giddy so we sold them following spring in calf for around 1350 each.

that's the way to do it! I see that cow as better buying than these incalf heifers that lads specialise in getting 1600- 1800 for on DD and special in calf heifer sales... buy an older cow that can fire out a char straight away.. your money back far quicker

red bull

Some nice cows advertised for Tuam Mart on monday next in calf to char & lim bulls, must have a look to see how they go, saw them o DD

looking forward to seeing a few pics if that calf in a few months, just looked up that bull and he is one id like to use in the future, must be the tallest blue bull available here, any reason why he is not used more? only ever mentioned on here once before your post...

weanlings enjoying some new grass today, hope it stays reasonably dry for another few weeks to get it mopped up...

Nice one chippy. Up and at her straight away which is great to see. Out of interest, did the cow go much over time? He's down on ICBF as carrying an extra 3.5d

just do it

I think a full red setter, got from the Pound about 8 years ago. Useless at setting, hates gun fire and fireworks. Which is probably why he was in the pound to begin with. Even more useless with animals. sure to be standing in the wrong place! Pit on a lot of weight after we got him cut about 5 years ago.
