Lunatic heifer in the parlour for the 1st time after calving this morning. Her spins aren't in great condition anyways, so kicking like crazy, couldn't get the clusters or anything on her. Won't be keeping her for long!

Local young lad called me a few days ago re Sat and Sun work while in college, I said ok.

Called him yesterday pm to mow silage, said he couldn't as he had training. GAA must pay well???

I give up

Yeh, had her in a good few times last few weeks, she was sick for a while, had some sort of sunburn during the hot weather in July, so she ended up hanging around in one of the paddocks nearby. I think thats what effected her spins, skin very flaky and sore. I dunno if we even should have kept her this long 2bh.

We had one this morning also. She's with the milkers since the weekend so she could be watched and was reasonably settled this morning going through parlour. No kick bars or ropes any way. She's a one that could have caused trouble always very flighty.

my heifers are all calved, they are grand but theres one who refuses to stay in the paddock with the cows, bitch... tim818 maybe put sudocreme on her spins or theres a cream called dermogel, if shes dangerous just get rid

Obviously doesn't need the money. If he was a proper college student drinking every euro he would be glad of the work.

I met a 26 year old "man" yesterday who was looking for help from me. He was born on a farm, did Junior & Leaving Cert, third level degree and a masters and he has never had a paid job in his life. I asked him if he did any work experience or voluntary work. He said that the only thing he did was go to the bog once with his father when he was 14 to foot turf. He said that he only stayed for 2 hours because he didn't like it, but that his father will give him a good reference for it. I asked him how he survived - he told me that while he was in college up to 22 years old, his parents gave him pocket money. For the last 4 years he has been on the Dole, but he finds it very hard to live on that because he has to give his mother €20 per week for rent and food. Now at 26 he has decided that he needs to start standing on his own 2 feet and he wants a part time job so that he can rent the granny flat adjoining the home house for €20 per week + buy his own food. Dad has a very large farm and a business which employs 10+ people.

Funny thing is that this is the 4th or 5th person in similar circumstances that I have met in the last 12 months. At mid 20's and never haven worked at anything, it's a very difficult task to get them some work and ensure that they do it.

In a short number of years the whole thing has turned upsidedown and sideways!

My lads have no interest in hurling, in fact they think they're all mad. We are into the proper shaped ball, oval that is.

I wouldn't be using too many lhzs on heifers myself, his calving difficulty is creeping up now that a fair few calves have been born.
