Must be very hard to keep quiet knowing the results before they do

Much hassle getting a house? Mate might be teaching us undergrads this year.

I'd to settle for digs with a few others this year. A good few went up for a full day or two to find somewhere, anyone who got a place had to put a fair bit of effort into finding anywhere decent

Think we're bad making silage in this country.
You should look at this livecam in Iceland.
The farmer is just after getting their silage wrapped in bales with a sleeping volcano in the background.:pac:

Posted about a cow with a sore eye a few weeks ago, so has had a bottle of alamycin, bottle of cobacton and a bottle of respivol, no good. Its a tumour, feck it. She is giving 22 litres in the morning and 19 in the evening 2 weeks after calving, all going down the drain. Factory for her when withdrawal is up :mad:

Is she white haired around the eye area

. We done surgery on 1 a few years back young vet misdiagnosed and she was on long withdrawal ab. Surgery was successful but I'd be slow doing it again.

Not really, all about managing their expectations.
Personally I try not to look at results until lunch time and let those who want to tell me do so.

I found a tick on me today :eek:, very unusual for Sept I thought! Although if there's tick in a field it will probably find me somehow.

I'm very prone to them, it's mental. There has to be some sort of science behind why they are drawn to some people and not others.

Neighbour had 2 suckler cows with red water last week, hasnt had a case in about 15 years

Just calved a heifer there, she went down when I was calving her, used jack, calf got to end of jack and hips still weren't out. Here on my own today so no help, eventually got calf out. Dead. Massive calf, heifer didnt get up yet.

Yea.
My eldest attracts midgies, mosquitos and anything else that bites or stings so I agree there's some biological thing at play there.

not sure if it was all over the radio in Ireland as well as england but there's been a big increase in the number of ticks about. There were lots of warnings about what to watch out for and what to do if you think you've got lymes disease from a tick. You can get brain damage over it... :eek:

Interesting, I thought ticks would just latch onto whatever walks by, so they can't be as picky but a few quick googles throws up that dark clothes might be a factor and I predominately wear black :pac:
Lyme disease isn't as common here as Canada/USA so I'm not overly worried by it, would have to be very careful if I visit there though I reckon.

Suckler or dairy heifer?
Pity when it works out like that either way.
