Find the calf

Eventually, around lunchtime, was at the stage of looking for remains in ditches! But, she must have had him well stashed, the rushes aren't THAT bad - black bull (SYT). This is the cow that tried twice to jump the skulling gate of the crush during the test last month! Now the question 'to cull or not to cull'. Cow is like a lamb these days, wouldn't dream of being any way awkward.

They say Conemara men are rough but they aren't a patch on some of the lads I've met from that side of Galway!

Sure they'd have to be being that close to Roscommon!!☺

Bad news comes In threes. A letter from coco saying they want more clarity on water results for well for planning. One from the tax man saying they didn't charge me enough tax in 2015- €465 and The OH spends her life calling me a stress head. I've been begging her to update her passports and both are out of date. Her 96 yo gran in oz has died and even if she wanted, she won't be able go. Waiting on her to come in from work to tell her.

If it was needed contact the ozzy consulate/embassy, happened someone i know who lost a passport got a temporary done up on the day going to an embassy but only valid for short term.

Cheers for the info. She probably won't go but if she decides to go, her Irish passport has been sent with a fortnight so it could get fast tracked and she would just get a visa.

I remember loosing my passport at the heineken cup final in 2006 and getting a temporary one issued in embassy in London. It was nicer than the 10 year one we get now.

Jaysus i still remember sneaky stringer in the corner/chabal being hit by a freight train in thomond in the sale game and the red army clogged up at new ross going for the boat in rosslare on the friday before the final clearly.

Sorry to hear about your OH's granny - RIP.
I'm sure that both the Australian Embassy in Dublin and our Dept of Foreign Affairs can/would accommodate her with an express passport.
If its any help, when the Revenue make a mistake (which is a rarity) they will accommodate you by spreading the payments over a time span that suits you.
Don't know anything about County Councils and water results.

She's not going to go over. She will go later in the year. Her Irish granny isn't the best at the moment. I hope 207 doesn't turn into one of those years for her.

Yeah the letter said it would be reduced monthly. It's only money.

I can sort out the council thing too. Just have to take photos to show what i did to stop surface water getting into the well and hopefully that will keep her happy.

I had a calf coughing like mad last night. Head outstretched and a real nasty sound to her. She wouldn't drink the cow either so plan was to get vet for her this morning. Went up this morning and she came running out to drink the cow and she's perfect now. Not a sound out of her. You have to wonder sometimes.

As our old vet said "sure havent we bad coughs ourselves and just have to get on with it" haha
Might be a 12 hr virus or something

Lost a calf yesterday morning, only 24 hours old. Calved at 4am, fed 3.5l at 4.10, navel sprayed and put into a dry corner till the next milking. He drank a liter in the morning and 2 liters at evening milking and stone dead at 4 am again, developed scour after the evening milking.

Vet reckoned rotavirus but took a sample to test anyway and I was pi**ed off at having to vaccinate the rest of the cows against rotavirus.

Vet rang with the result, E. Coli.

Not sure whether to be happy that it wasn't rotavirus or sad that a calf died:o

Have a calf with joint ill. Haven't had one in years. Have it on noroclav. This calf got iodine on it's navel and is in a clean pen. It's a friesian bull. Am I better to leave it in a single pen or a big pen?

Must be. Washed after every use and I can't remember any dirt on it when I was tubing him. Then again, I wasn't really awake doing it either:(

Want to be sure colostrum isn't contaminated either. In a race, the bugs will win.

It's hard to get some machinery salesmen on a Saturday.

A lot of business is done on the phone now on weekdays.
