    Altering what ?

    I was doing cattle for copper today and the primatech injection gun makes it a doddle .
    Any recomendations for similar type dosing guns for sheep and cattle ?

    What's the wee bracket for that's showing above the left hand pulled, Reggie?
    A daylight sensor?

    Dawn must have the memory of an elephant, have her daughter from three years ago with her now and she never pucked her once since I put them together. Normally she'd leather into anything else with her until she felt that her leadership was proven :pac:
    I let her down this morning to a dry pen where her and the wee calf were for a few days after he was born. And she went bleeding crazy snuffling round the place, roaring at me and over the gate :(

    We had a young cow a couple of years ago and we let her in the pen after calving, we use yo have a lot more bullies back then and they were laying into her until her half sister 5 years older started beating the cows that were at her. Amazing to watch because they wouldn't of known each other but somehow knew they were related

    Was dismantling a wooden bed earlier for out & was thinking how the base could be a creep gate for sheep.
    Does every farmer think this way or do I need a break?

    Just had the window and mirror on the driver's side on car broken. Met a car that was fairly belting along - the mirror arrived in the window. Scared the bejaysus out of me. Will have to spend tomorrow trying to get it repaired now. Not a happy chappie this evening. :(
    the other driver did not stop either although must have known they hit someone. :(:(:(

    Same thing happened the OH coming home from work one evening.

    I just think it's so cheeky not stopping. Of course they'd hear the bang.

    €250 wouldn't see you out of fitting a new mirror. Her mirror glass never shattered so still functioning. V annoying.

    Got a good cardio workout this morning. A few heifers decided they wanted to head for Clonmel via the main road at 7.30 this morning. Thankfully their all back in and everyone is safe
