Same as myself . Things got messy at lunch there when they started laughing and couldnt stop , I got up to give the older lad a clatter and he legged it into the sunroom , the younger lad gave chase aswell but between laughing , running and jumping onto the couch while he was chewing didnt he start to choke with the result that he puked the lunch onto the couch ! Took the clothes and nappy off him , by the time I had them put into the washing machine he had a turd made on the floor of the sitting room ! They're still laughing , it was like something from the Simpsons .

What do you make of the IFA looking for the reintroduction of the coupled payment for suckler cows. Personally, not too gone on it. Can only see the beef processors winning. Justifying cutting prices.

It didn't work in the past and won't work now. Coveny's and the Dept appear to want to lead us down the pig and poultry route ie .intensive stocking, low margins and high inputs, which hasn't exactly set those industries on fire. That's why I don't understand the concept behind harvest 2020 either. It seems the whole show is run for big-agri business, processors, multiples etc. at the expense of most farmers:(

have a fooker of a heifer that keeps breaking out, knocking down handles etc, there is a whooper of a shock in the fence, just spent half an hour getting 30 cows out of a paddock that i know she opened, during the winter she could escape through feed barrier and mightnt be seen for days as she would go off up the fileds, apart from factory any suggestions before i crack up... would love to catch her in the act... she is never in the same field as cows when i go to get them for milking

Clip or shave her neck and she'll get s better bang off the fence. If that fails you might want to electrify a run of barbed wire, she won't go through that, unless she's clearing them?

Probably not the right thread to be asking but didn't think a new one was needed.

Just after finding a dead badger in one of the fields ( cattle are near enough but not in contact with it) which I am 90% sure has TB. Saw it in daylight yesterday and its lungs seemed to be badly affected.

Is there any obligation to get it tested ?
Should I get it tested or just dispose of it myself ?
Best way to dispose of it ?

Sorry if wrong place and if it seems a stupid question just never came across it before. Thanks

Well how are all the Banner lads feeling about tomorrow?
Any chance against the Rebels?

I'm getting it hard to call, but if I go with me heart I'll go for Clare. How will Clare cope with a wet ball?
