    What other way could you do it?! :confused: :P
    Say you have a slope at the bottom of a field, if you keep driving around the field in the same direction then the licker will always be dripping from the same side. If you drive back and forth across the field then it drips from both sides

    Roundup at 30/1 about a month ago with a good dart of washing up liquid. Killed an odd bit of grass but thought it would be a lot worse.

    Great, I did a bit there at the weekend. Used Gallup at the same rate pretty much so hopefully it will be a success.

    Generally the rotation of the drum/brush will stop drips, if your seeing lots of dripping from one end then maybe the application onto the drum is too much..

    They should lie over, I'd say you would still get a good kill at 50:1

    I agree.

    Nice 2 year old heifer I bought as a weanling and bulled about a month ago. Should be a nice one for a Charolais bull down the road. E4002EC0-68D8-4601-8827-33E863E543D7_zpsommiflcy.png

    Hopefully, bought her off a neighbour I have bought a few heifers off in the past, they were all ok for milk so hopefully she will be the same.

    Ive it narrowed down to hurling or football , if Galway bet Sligo through Mayo and home again I still wouldn't be too bothered. I could never understand the rivalry between Galway and Mayo , some lads get very upset around here when we are playing against them :confused:
