Have all of ours trained to the bag. Never any problems moving large groups as long as you have a plastic bag

Got a nasty kick to my right hand this afternoon while loading sucklers and followers onto the lorry for a neighbour. First, middle and ring finger badly swollen and cut.
I had to collect an injection for a calf this evening from our vet and when she saw my hand she kindly examined, dressed and taped them up

Did you get a shot of penstrep aswell !

No but she did ask me when I last got a antitet injection.
Apparently vets can legally treat humans under emergency situations but doctors cannot treat animals in simular situarions.
Apologies for mispelling as i am trying to type with left hand and cant be arsed to correcct them.

Ice for a few days so, hopefully nothing bad.
On other side least it was your hand & not leg or head

Hope that heals quickly.

Went looking for a cow that's close to calving. Couldn't find her. Heading back to house to gather more help and discovered her in the shed with a new calf. How smart was that?

l hope she washed the jack and hung back up the ropes after herself!

Snap!

Its funny the difference a bit of rain makes here. The first cut this year was bigger than both cuts last year even though there was a few extra acres put in as well.

We took feck all from the pit last winter so we're only topping it off. It was 13 acres we put in. The other 40 acres or so will be baled for silage or haylage

The yard is a mile from the road, so once they got in the road gate they'd never be seen

Was there a few trips made or a few vehicles together ? Thats a fair bit of stock to move without being spotted somewhere

Good , hope they get someone for it . Horrible thought that the animals you were caring for could be slaughtered any which way , feel sorry for the owner

Terrible thing to happen. All that work and it's gone thanks to some scumbags who think it's okay to take other people's animals. I hope they're caught.

just do it

From the owners facebook....some one must know them.

''We have cctv footage of a lorry and drag trailer (new white scania) and a double decker (white with distinctive white skirting) driving at speed through Tyrrellspass at 2.01am yesterday (Thursday) morning. They may have gone to Mullingar,on to Rochfortbridge or onto the motorway (M6). If anyone knows anything,saw anything or can help please contact us or the Guards in Kilbeggan or Athlone. We can't express enough how devastated we are. We were looking at them on Sunday and saying how lucky we are that all our hard work has given us such beautiful quality,quiet stock. We love our cattle,they are family to us and it feels like the heart has been ripped out of the farm. 83% of our herd is gone''

nieghbour here has the wildest cattle ever bred. If you went in to the field with a white shirt they would be in the next parish before you could blink. He was in hospital last yr and I was looking after his cattle. He asked they we bring them in as it was forecast to lash rain. 10 men couldnt get them out of the field. Myself and the 2 lads went over in the evening with a roll of wire and got them in.
