Anyone ever visit Clare Island off Mayo? Any advice or should I go to another Island? I've never been to any and the Aran Islands look to be very busy during August.

If you've never been to Achill Island id go there, it's not really an island and you can drive around it. It's a beautiful place and you could head to Westport too.

Herd just went down withTB. Gutted. Over 20 years since we had it. 3 suckler cows, all right good ones, all young and some 2 generations of AI breeding. They all have calves, youngest is 100 days, so weaning them might be manageable.
I saw the lumps yesterday but tried to ignore them. Sickening to see the vet shaking his head while looking at them.

Sorry to hear that, Patsy.

Hopefully you will go clear in the two tests.

Would you have the housing for winter for all stock?

That's just it, I don't. I normally sell all weanling.

Don't worry about that now, Patsy, there will be a way around it.

I had the same problem 20 years ago and put up a plastic tunnel. It didn't need planning permission at the time, not sure about now.

Just concentrate on isolating the cows and getting the Dept to get them off the farm ASAP.

One problem at a time, don't stress the rest.

You could take up a few acres of Kale or the like on some drier ground and out winter the weanlings and finish them next yr in the shed if your still caught up.

Sorry to hear that patsy, have herd test here on Monday. Not looking forward to it as a lot of lads have gone down round us. Keep the chin up.

Limestone Cowboy · 24-06-2016 05:36PM

Good chance you'll be clear in November Patsy. Tis a balls but the story could be worse.

Sorry to hear that Patsy,
Deal with it one thing at a time it will come alright.
Don't waste the time or energy worrying about things until the time comes to deal with it.

Easily done really with airport shuttles etc. They'd have better roads too. Better confort for them and passengers. .. and they get to charge more.

If you look at any of the regular bus/taxi companies even in Itwland they all go for the merc.

Sorry to hear that Patsy, hope you get decent valuations, print off your star ratings, they might take it into consideration when doing the valuations.

L1985 · 25-06-2016 12:04PM

I'm sorry as well patsy-it's a kick to the stomach. Hopefully ye get it off the farm and the next test will be clear. Really puts you back thou. Look after yourself-nothing you could have done differently.

So Northern Ireland are out of Euro 2016 while Wales stay in. Ironically, on Thursday in the Brexit referendum, Northern Ireland voted to stay in and Wales voted to leave.
