Feck, didn't see it last night Vander. It's a good programme.
TG4 should do a calving live, but call it 'The beeessst from the Weeessst'
Show lads where all of Ireland's best beef cattle originate from !! (oooh thems' fightin' words

true for you muckit
but instead we get sh1te like feirmfactor or whatever they callit,
was thinking watching the show on bbc that it was a pity they didnt show more of the cattle side of things, ya i missed that episode reilig but sure enough the place didnt look overly mechanised, what kinda tractor was it? hurlimann maybe. he deffo had a loader and grab on there one night anyway , he probably had the right idea though, cut down expense on big machinery if he can manage without it, seemed to be a big family effort, mother and father involved and wife so i suppose he has a nice bit of help0 -
Alot of these programmes are heavily edited and only tell the story that the show producer wants to protray. In all fairness to them, they are probably a 'townie' and wouldn't know a bulls boll** from a ram's horn.
The simple romantic image is what they want to sell. Reality doesn't really come into it. Do you really think they feed, what, 70? suckler cows silage EVERYDAY with a QUAD??!
They just give the viewers what they want to watch, the majority probably wouldn't pick up on things like that. They just go away with the notion 'hmm... God that seems like 'fun' feeding those 'cute' little cows'
I always laugh too at the Muller light ad, when I see the girl falling into the hay cock left in about a foot of aftergrass and them carting it in with pitch forks in a trailer !!
It's all about the illusion0 -

It was a fairly modern Hurliman - around about 100hp.
Feirm factor is edited tripe which does not realistically portray Irish Agriculture.
I'd like to see more of the cattle side too. The door is wide open for RTE TNAG TV3 or one of the many production companies that we have in this country to do something similar.
Does Anyone watch Feirmeoiri on TG4 at 9.30pm on a sunday night?
Its quite interesting although they do tend to spend a lot of time with Joe Joyce and his sheepdogs - one half of the episode shows Joe complaining that there's no money in farming, the other half shows him bringing dogs to the vet for travel vaccinations to the USA and Canada. He sells them for €1500 to €2000 each and sells between 30 and 50 per year. It seems that he only keeps the sheep to train the dogs - its more profitable that way 0 -
