Is that to do with the angel dust?

I was wondering the same. Seems a bizarre situation on the face of it.

If it happened (no signs yet of corroborative evidence yet) it would not be the first time.

Department came in to a farm near us where animals hadn't been tagged or tested for three years. They tagged and tested animals which were sent to the factory afterwards or sold in mart depending on size. I know a lad who was there to help out. Farmer had lost the control of things. No word of shooting them or anything.
His herd number was left intact as was his SFP, I hear he hasn't tested since either !!

I don't know, was wondering if anyone else had heard anything. I'm very suspicious of The Hub, it's very OTT and anything that might help them in their brigade against the banks is sent to them with optional added extras :pac:

Would this look more like a CAB job than receivers?

I can't see cab being involved in a bank row, remember cab have a very narrow remit to repossess goods gained through criminal activity. Have never heard of them after cattle before. I'd say it would be too much bother for them.

Hard to see how a receiver is gaining any monetary value out of this craic. Might just as well left them if they're wild as that.. Someone would get them in sometime.

Total disgrace...... A few years when we had TB... A number of calves went down.... They wanted to shoot the calves in the calf house..... We told em work away but we couldn't guarantee that we wouldn't shoot them first before they got to the calves....

The calves were taken away alive to a factory/abbatoir to be slaughtered.... Which is the way it should be done....


This is a total disgrace...... Why this stuff isn't highlighted more amazes me.....

Very easy. A few didn't take though so I replanted and the second ones came up. First time planting it so am a bit unsure of regrowth so don't want to take too many stalks off. Have about 20 plants though :pac:

My '99 carolla passed its NCT at second attempt. Went to see what needed doing first. Got anti-roll bar links (I think) on front and two new tyres on front and swapped front ones to back. Prob cost less than €200.
Hard to kill dem carollas. New ones not near as sturdy

Same as that, hopefully today will be better.
Had a guy down your neck shear yesterday for me (have them in a few days), he was on Meath border most of the day & was a great day, back home was the opposite.
We could be in bad location for solar

We have flat panels in for last 9 years and only need to supplement them the odd time, but never before in July !!
Rank wet night last night so was nice to have heating on for an hour.

It 2 litre diesel. €710 tax:( Could be seen driving over fields, transporting meal, calves etc. Only doing about 15k miles a year but lot of short runs. Only 260k on now. Have 10 years and no abnormal trouble. Only fault is she low to ground even without 200 kg in back.

Had 405 before that and boards not have enough room to list what go wrong on it.

My teen pregnancy bbxfr heifer threw out a premature rotten calf this morning. Put her with a different bundle of cows last week and she must have got a puck when they were sorting out the pecking order. Sickened.

Crap one....how old is she now? Will you give her any wash out or antibiotic?

Flies are mental here today, so I'm covered in tar spray from trying to do the cows teats. I'd be as well off standing in the field with them now as I stink like a road.
Ye know the cuts cows get at the corner of their eyes from flies, is there anything for that? I ended up having to half hug the cows head with tar spray cupped in my hand so I could smear it all over round her eye.

Lambda Cyhalotrin ear tags. Can be bought from the US I think they're called Saber extra.
The a.i. is also used as an insecticide on crops. A good 4mts coverage.







Down side is they're banned in EU...
