Thanks, were the cuts labelled? I was asked for a lamb this year but didn't go ahead with it. Thinking of it for next year.

Yes everything labelled and labelled clearly too.

Had Lancashire Hot Pot tonight, lovely made with lamb shoulder, carrots mushrooms and a good dash of Yorkshire Relish before cooking.
Layer of thinly sliced potatoes on top.
Crunchy on the upper side, creamy underneath.
Am like a beached Fungi here...

Local Abattoir does same here for us
And if we don’t have a lamb they can source one
We don’t get legs or fillets, all in chops or Cutlets with 4 shanks & the neck in stewing meat

Highly recommend it to everyone to try, even go 1/2’s with another house

We fitted the whole lamb in a standard freezer easily too we didnt need to buy a chest freezer.

Leave our Holly down here in West Cork out of it. Won't hear a word said against her.

My impression is that Chris O' Sullivan seems to be a decent egg down there when it comes to biodiversity etc. issues. Would my impresssion be right??

The listeriosis cow is so much better today. Her neck has straightened and she is not holding her head to one side. When I checked on her tonight she was content and chewing her cud.
I took a photo of her this morning with three others that are also in the sick bay. One had half a clute on her off side hind when we bought her but it's growing on nicely, the other has a problem with her hip (it clicks when she is walking) and the last one was bought recently and has mastitis in one spin.
Edit - Which one of the four do you reckon is the listeriosis cow?

I'd say it's the one with the mouth full of silage

Quick question for all you cattle farmers.
Saw a post in the gardening forum which used a 20 space cattle feeder as an archway..

What diameter are these? I need to build an archway and this will probably be cheaper than timber. Tia

Don't buy a new one anyway. Plenty of those feeders lying around doing nothing. Have a few myself that aren't and won't ever be used again.

What about the back tyre of a tractor, cut in half, I'll donate one if you want, nearly 5' diameter

Tell Buford he's off the hook for the disappearance of Fungi.

My neighbour has loads of them. This site is remarketing the as "Moon gate arches" 362 dollars. If the likes of Diarmud Gavin mentioned them in an article ye could all make a few bob selling them

A good days work here. I stripped small slates off one of the roofs during the summer. There was over 5,000 in total. I stored them in a shed and they were to be taken out today and left outside to make room for weanlings.

A man from north Kerry rang me out of the blue and came up today and bought the lot and brought them off. The slates live on, on another roof.

Buford or South Westerly spotted a bargain.

Not me. Don't know if Buford got wind of it. I ended up having to replace a light switch in a shed this afternoon.

Just cancelled sky after 13 years- they increased from €26 to €39 with our telling and when I dug further, they were increasing to €41.50

2 hours on phone, agreed to €42 for the new sky q thing and they would take on Netflix bill.

Put on the kids channels and they were blocked- so I rang back, another 40 minutes and told them to keep it to heck.

It was only a back up if internet went tough but they can watch dvds.

Does anyone know, after you cancel sky - can you get the free to air stations on the sky box/satellite dish setup?

Wouldn’t mind cancelling it myself, but just wondering what I’ll have after the cancellation goes through...

Do you happen to use a magic eye?

Out sky box is upstairs, but we use magic eye on the tv in the kitchen and the living room to change channels...
Wondering will this work if we cancel?

Pull out the card and reboot the box. That's what you should have when you cancel the sub.
