im just working my way through the last of the paddocks then its time to break out the silage

If the weather stayed good I have another 3 weeks to a months grass ahead of them with maybe a pinch of nuts thrown to them but its not great stuff and if the wet keeps coming I might aswell put them in altogether . Im sorry I didnt bale more a month ago and just have them in now for the winter . I was just a bit greedy when the dry weather kept coming in September and thought it would never end

one thing you should not do is let people on a internet form get to you,why would you consider closing your account over comments some one else made,

my cows are pure mental for the silage, have no interest in grass at all, goes to show what feeding there is in the grass

I'd say like everything there's a life expectancy to it. I wonder who the longest serving F&F member is?

Be some explaining that if you had a crash. Sorry guard, the cattle were looking at me.:p

Would you believe 2 years ago I was looking in at them one evening when the brother tore around the corner in the tractor and hit me . The bullbar on the jeep is still bent up ! €380 for a new headlight and would he hell contribute towards it .

I used to like reading the posts from John Galway ..
Always found them entertaining despite the hardship described in some of them.


And there was another lad who is gone now , cant remember his name but he used to disagree with everyone , and id say he was the type of lad who would fight with his fingernails .

Haha he doesnt eat dinner at home very often in case the mother asks him for any money for his upkeep , one of them is as tight as the other . Any wonder he wouldnt pay for my headlight .
In fairness he tried to straighten the bull bar by leaving the bucket of the digger down on it but no good !

He was an amusing sort of a character. In a lot of ways I think bob has rowed in to fill the gap

Lost covey was the lad who'd disagree with every one. Use to get up my nose. Could be entertaining though.

Think john Galway could be back here under a different name. At lteast I thought it was him.

Ya just wouldnt know who your chattin to here

When I first joined masseywoman was a big contributor. Think I saw her active recently again although it could have been someone adding to an old post.

Also someone with a David brown fro Leitrim called ford 4000. He use to be very good but seemed to give up as well.

Yup I think bob is right about this late grass craic . Around here too a few wet days will make **** of the ground very quickly .
In saying that a few fussy bullocks broke out of a place last week that had loads of grass that I would call good quality and I hadnt time to go fencing so I threw them in the shed and opened a bale . They didnt finish it yet .
I sent 2 off to maam cross on monday and got good money for them Im sorry I didn't sent the other few off aswell

Richk2012

Has any of ye ever crossed paths with each other outside Boards , in the mart or shows etc.??

Only one that I know of:

My claim to fame is I was held up on the road once by Whelan1, moving cattle.

I was too shy to say hello.
