It's a miracle that the loader driver didn't kill a few of them.

They probably had money in the bank. Just didn't like filling out forms.:D

Looks like something you'd see pulled by a horse back in the day. Bit of an antique I reckon.

It looks to me like an ass cart that somebody welded a tow bar and heavier axel into. I'd imagine it's definitely vintage anyway, around here that sort of up-cycling would be referred to as a "country man's" job.
Each to there own and it's probably doing the business if a little rustic. I would however be afraid that if the wood worm stopping holding hands it could prove detrimental to the savings made buying in bulk over bags.

older by the day

Sher what ever works, it can be hard to get the last few buckets of nuts out of the big bags

The cart is half tipped,the"new"drawbar was designed for a Beetle I presume.

K.G.

My thoughts exactly...... although to be fair to them, they all looked like they were having great aul' craic.

It kind of reminded me of the last 5 minutes of a good Junior C match. There was no great skill on show and t'was all a bit helter skelter, but they were all givin' it their best shot and there was lots of roarin' and shoutin' and ultimately, t'was great aul entertainment for all involved.

Can anyone read that calf's tag (cow!) to see what country the video is from?

I've tried taking a screenshot and zooming in but the image resolution isn't clear enough to read the tag. The car appears to be left hand drive and the tag appears similar to those I've seen in stock imported from the continent.

Apart from the issue of uploading the video to the internet it's a pretty foolish carry on without publicizing it. I know we've all done foolish things when young but the calf is an unsecured load and in the event of an accident is a possible projectile and also a distraction from the road.

I regularly seen calves hobbled and put into car boots and the back of vans while growing up. It was a safer way of transporting them than the method above.

It reminds me of watching a lad put a Cheviot ram he bought at a mart into the back of an older type caddy van. He was advised to halter him and tie the rope to something solid but decided against it. The ram was loaded and the back doors slammed, ram jumps between the seats and bull's eyes the windscreen. This of course causes lots of spider cracks and f@cks in equal measure. Ram then turns around and decides to exit via the window in the rear door making bits of it in the process. A halter was of course then procured for a second attempt at transporting him.

Am I missing something or is noone else seeing the bit underneath

"Brendan Fleming, a farmer from Kilcummin Co. Kerry, didn't have access to the use of a cattle trailer; but that wasn't going to stop him from moving his livestock."

Yes, you are the only one here who can read.... Or more likely you're the only one using a Desktop/Laptop cause on the mobile browsers it says nothing.

Well I'm not a farmer so probably true.

Lady Haywire

I had been wondering that too but thought Nekarsulm was thinking more about other countries seeing how we treat cattle. Jesus i'm very cynical today :pac:

You are correct, the name and info only appears on my phone if you switch the site to "desk top" mode.
Looking at him in the left hand drive car, I assumed it was continental ....
Mind you, if you Google that lads name and address, the entries make sobering reading ..

I brought 2 Belclare hogget rams from Tuam to Kerry in the back of an Opel Vectra saloon with the back seat folded down.

Twas grand until we got onto the ferry in Killimor...

That videa was taken on snapchat, and mirrors the image, and makes it look like its a left hand drive while actually being a normal right hand drive

The last line of that tale contains a level of suspense that Hitchcock would be proud of. Regardless of what took place after it no doubt added to the tourist's holiday experience while on the ferry. I've done that crossing once during the summer, it's a pleasant few minutes of a good day.

I once brought 3 heifers and a ewe and lamb home from the mart in an 8 by 4 car trailer with no dividing gate behind a Nissan Almera. The 3 heifers went in the trailer, the ewe trussed up in the boot and the lamb hobbled and wrapped in a meal bag in the passenger foot well.

Reminds me of a experience I had many years ago.
