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

Same here.
We put small weanlings in because of the weather last week. They had a fair bit of grass under them but ground was very soft, they were in a kg of beef nut too.

Came in and I swear they ate silage non stop for four days. They've eased off now but it was quite a shock to see the hunger that was in them on the grass.

thanks for helping

You were beyond help, and I was late for work.
The cattle came onto the road, about turned and high tailed back down the field!
Next time..... I promise.

Sorry to hear that case , dust yourself off and get back in the game once you get over it. Worst days will be the over you soon.

I reckon we've all been there Anytime I used to feel a bit like that I'd think well there's a reason we didn't work, usually it was a good one. Often times the future you see in your head is a lot rosier than reality.

Right, I'm off to the scratcher. Night!

Northern Ireland almost every week. Crumlin near Belfast in the morning, armagh next and onto Keady after. Hopefully home before midnight. Throwing about 1000 miles a week on the car.
Can work from home the next few days then. And can help my dad if he needs a hand during the day

a bit of an "ah bullocks" moment this morning, with the wheel flat on the feeder and off the rim. Was parked away from anywhere so no compressor or air barrel about. went off looking at the cattle to reclaim calmness. Eventually on return I put on the Mcgeever hat and after a loud bang and a bit of robbed wind we were moving again . This method using Maguire and patterson method has saved my bacon on manys the ocascion and also manicured the eyebrows :rolleyes:

I'm guessing he let the fumes build up in the tyre mixing with the air and then put a match to it. The resulting explosion increased the air pressure and forced the tyre onto the rim and also inflated it a bit, he them bled the last required air from the other wheel. how am I doing so far bob?

Put petrol in the tyre and light it. Rapid expansion of gas. Similar to using a bazooka
