TBH as I get older I too am more into my family history and the generations that went before me. When I was younger I didn't care a whit but now it enthralls me.

The more I find out about mine the more I'm inclined to forget about them !

Lads who on here had a pic up of a small block shed they built and handling facilities? Theirs a poster on here looking to get started on 5 acres I think it would be a good start. If I could get a look at it again I'd appreciate it

We announce ours, had to do it on Sat with a lovely heifer. Auctioneer let rip and she was up at 900 before we could get him to shout out she wasn't suitable for breeding.

Bought one last summer in Drumshanbo that wasn't announced :rolleyes:

Yup, fully in your rights to throw it up, all heifers are sold through the ring as being fit for purpose (i.e. breeding) and if she's not declared and not fit for purpose, the sale is void.

Seen a few thrown up that way over the years. We didn't mind as we only needed the heifer to eat excess grass, we sold her on again in Oct and announced it ourselves. We only found out when we had to dip them as the neighbours bull broke in and had a whale of a time with the five heifers

Are the bars tubular? Never seen a gate like it. Have you a close up of the rivets.

Nope, flat hammered iron. Weighs a fecking ton! I can't remember if there's any rivets on it, I think it's mostly welding. There had been rivets where you can see the holes on the top and second bars but when the two gates were put together they were taken out.

Oh right. Photos aren't great. Can't really make out any detail. Do the green and White colours hold any significance? Pillars are as important as the gate.

It's the colours on our family crest, yea it was starting to get dark when I finished and I had paint all over my hands and was trying to avoid getting it on the phone screen! We're hoping to get a couple of old round pillars for the very start of the lane entrance, the ivy covered H bar will have to do the gate for now.
