You know well what's going on there.

The mother is using the son as an excuse cos she'd be the one left to feed and clean up after the bugger.

Had you no paddock fenced with sheep and barb wire for those smallies? :pac:

Electric fence, train them in early:P
Ah no, it's mad, the lad had a way with dogs, our lot are mad about him and they'd be a bit wary with people but he takes no notice and has them wound around his finger inside 2 minutes.

Good work. What the heck is a jigsaw tractor? I’ve googled it but can only find kids toys.

I’d be understating it if i said it was in 1000 pieces

My dad bought a 178 about 20 years ago to get it up and running and my older brother stripped it even more.

It was out in the rain for about 2 years.

Glad it’s gone.

People are strange.

And to think growing up here myself there was every sort of animal imaginable on this place. From sheep, cows, horses, ponies, donkeys, pigs, hens, ducks, geese, rabbits, goats and guinea hens and probably more left out.
My mother never got a say in the matter when my oul fella turned up with something new which was going to be next money spinner.

Oh and dogs. I forgot dogs.

You've now got your next relief milker there. In six years time.

Some people are naturally gifted like that.

There was a farmer had a sheepdog in at the vet's there a few weeks ago. And my oul fella (again) was in there and the dog took a great liking to him.
The farmer thought this was funny as he said he'd usually take the hand off anyone.

I think if you asked a lot of Vietnam Vets the same question they wouldn't know either.

Anyone have these power company sales reps cold calling to their door?

I just had a pair from ESB networks at the door at 8. Said they'd just been with the neighbours next door.

I asked for their rates and told them to call tomorrow at a more reasonable hour. So I can go through the bills properly.

It's nearly as bad as those old Combined insurance wasters.

In other news. It pays to go into fbd's office when paying the renewal.

I thought it was middling , few good lines in it but can be a bit cheesey .
I watched It's always sunny in philidelphia and found it brilliant but it mightn't be everyones cup of tea

Goodman,

on a side note, does any know if twin heifers are more likely to have twins themself? have 2 lovely ch twin heifers here out of a very good simental/blue cow. I normally wouldn't keep ch cows at all. but my small one is mad about um as there off her cow. She called um Thelma & Louise.

Ya its genetic. In canadavthey kept keeping from cows taht produced twins and in the end they had. <30% twinning rate. Dont get too hung up on breeds

It was indeed. 10 parts, each about 1 1/2 hrs long. So it's a fair commitment.
But it goes into the whole thing in good detail.

My oul fella was the same. He had a habit of going up the yard and arriving back with some thing or other. One day it was lost racing pigeon which landed on his shoulder and another an injured otter. At his funeral when the coffin was being lifted outside the house a swarm of bees settled in the trees above. A coincidence I know but somehow fitting all the same ...

Just in from walking an out-farm where I'm planning to put cows after the herd test is read on Saturday. Found several small syringes in a pile by the crush. Now means I'm going to have to do a REALLY good walk through before the cattle go over. Aaagh! Hope that with more activity around the place those responsible will take themselves off, certainly don't want to come across them.

Live in a quiet rural place, during a cummunity clean up day came across a pile of syringes (enough to fill a two gallon bucket) turned out they'd been dumped by a diabetic scut.

Had the same here from that nimber. It would be no harm to let elderly friends know they are active this evening.
