No deer around here at least! I keep meaning to wear one of the cat tick/flea collars as a bracelet but never remember to buy one

Don't need deer to get lymes disease, the ex got it here and there aren't deer for miles.

Hot in this weather but wellingtons are great for keeping them off ya, boots are crap because the tick hangs off any vegetation and can grab on too easily to trousers etc.

Rushes, get rid.

Think doing the lambs with vector is keeping them off me, not good!

Just be careful of tick bites, lymes disease is spread by ticks. Not common in Ireland though.

Weils disease is easy spread

Associated with stagnant water in particular, where it's spread via rats urine.

Wouldn't be a nice ailment to pick up by either man or beast.

Good job there is no question
Are you employed in 1) Farming
2) Fishing
3) Mining industry

Couple of random questions for yiz farmers, sparked by a train journey across the country:

• You'll see a beautiful field, grass like parkland, and in the centre a tiny grove of three or five trees, carefully mown-around. What's that about? Looks lovely!
• When groups of cows are just sitting around relaxing, and to a certain extent when they're grazing, the whole group seems to be pointed at one cow. Who is she? And why don't sheep do this - they're more grouped in twos and threes.
• What's that deep-blue-green crop that's growing at the moment?

2 She is the herds IFA union rep.
3 Silage, or a cereal crop, probably cereal, .

Ubble age 36 , 5 year risk of 0.7%

Damn it, I'm useless at statistics but am I 3.5 times more likely than Reggie to die in the next 5 years :eek:

Mine said "I'm very sorry for your trouble" and told me to contact my solicitor and give all to someone called Reggie.

Who the hell put you in charge of the 'NAH NAH NAH, I READ A BOOK BOW DOWN BEFORE ME' brigade?! Or did they think having a livestock background would prepare for dealing with large volumes of poo. :pac:

Wonders if that'll get me in trouble.
