How's your lad now Titanium?

Ah he's only alright. Had the vet to him and he reckoned that he had fractured his digit as well as cracking the hoof. Was injecting him for a week. He still won't walk on it or stay standing for long.
Vet said that it would take at least 3weeks to come right

Diarmuid B · 16-03-2017 02:41PM

fingers crossed he comes good! We had our yearlings dehorned there two weeks ago and they're only coming back to normal now. Suppose we would be too if we had two holes created in our skull!!

Throw in a few gallons (or litres ) of waste oil to slow corrosion on the inside.
Have heard of antifreeze being mixed in as well.

Thinking of heading to Ennis for one but it was awful slow last year. also might go to kilrush but I think it's on during the ballyea match.

Dying of the thirst myself but knowing herself I'll be guilted into driving and minding the small lady.

Butcher Boy · 16-03-2017 10:15PM

We were thinking of heading up to Galway but the weather doesn't look like it will be great. Couldn't face another one in Ennis this year. Went the last two years and thought they were really bad. Mostly made up of various clubs or teams of kids just walking through the town. Drives me nuts.

Stay in and watch the hurling I'd what I'd be thinking. Christ that was a busy hour. 8 lambed and another 2 lambing now. Auld lad took over the night shift which i gladly handed over to him with both hands

148multi · 16-03-2017 10:38PM

Got 1423 litres

Lady Haywire · 16-03-2017 10:45PM

Sold that cow who had the premature calf today, 715kg & got exactly €2/kg for her so I'm happy enough. She's going up north too, didn't expect that!

Yeah, whatever happens I am watching the hurling! Will have to make some sort of an effort though to do something with herself and the kids.

We watch the parade on the television. Bring kids to the shop beforehand for some treats. I find it's always a cold day and they end up with a cold after being at the parade. Alot less hassle to stay at home. They don't mind either. They are supposed to be in it with their football clubs . They would be frozen walking around in their shorts etc. As for trying to get parking etc...

A cow called Daisy · 17-03-2017 06:49AM

Probably won't bother going to watch any the local parades. The ones I saw in previous years were very much mainly a display by local contractors of their latest purchases. Someone dressed as St. Patrick driving a 171 registered Massey and pulling a Fusion around my local town 3 or 4 times while standing beside a lot of people well the worse for wear from drink, is not my idea of fun or what the whole day is about.

Having said that Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.

Surprised me too as I didn't think there was any Northern buyers either.
Great trade with not as many buyers as other years

The one in Doonbeg on Sunday is good. The small lady loves all the tractors and there is usually 10 floats. There is a woman who makes balloon animals.

Herself is Aussie so always wants to go to parade.

Yea Jos Donnelly was there, think he buys for McCanns? Grand trade alright, were you there? Did you see that big ch cow over at the far wall who weighed almost a tonne? Wouldn't like her stepping on my toe

I came across this bird after killing a magpie yesterday evening. Pics not great as I didn't want to get too close but the bird had a red ring around its eyes as well.

Any ideas what it could be?

I'm definitely tuning into BBC 2 tonight at 9pm. Should be worth watching after all the excitement of St. Patrick's day parades
