thought you'd be having a lie in this morning,

o/h & myself done the milking this morning as junior was flat out in the sheep shed, & the rest of the gang have left the nest.

we had a good laugh thinking back on mother's day in the past & the different treats by different kids.

whelan2 · 26-03-2017 10:59AM

Oh had taken the kids to football and I'm going to bed

How can she have a lie in?
She's lost an hour's sleep already with the clocks changing.
If she made up for that hour and any longer she'd be the whole day in bed.:);)

Edit just seen the post above.

Animals are shocking racists. The rams here will always separate according to breed

Reggie, Lovely calves, best of luck with them.

Off to a kids concert today with my small lady, the OH and three of my nieces. Such a nice day, might bring Them to bunratty or cragganown after.

We had a hol/fr bull who hated Montbeliarde cows.
He would give them a puck if he got the chance.
Still jump on them though.:rolleyes:

Ended up in bunratty. The girls voted for the fairy village in the folk park.

2 adults and 4 kids for €20 for Mother's Day. Not so bad

SF calling it but FF have said they cannot express confidence in her at this time. Time for her to write an exit speech methinks.

This is typical of Ireland, throw out the top people...... but the rot'll be still in the ranks all the way up in the civil service......the big offenders will still be laughing at us all the way to the bank with big fees for reviews and enquiries.

Well if Lady Haywire is reading.
I wonder did you get any further on your cow's diagnosis?

Here's a few more articles.

Some on here might remember that I purchased 4 HCA heifers from a mix of BFxHol cows 2 years ago, well the last of them calved today to a PBR bull by Ardlea Dan. 2 bulls & 2 heifers all red, 3 calved on their own. Happy out. Good square calves. Will put up a few pictures next weekend.

I am! That was my first thought too and copper was the very first injection she got. Copper and cobalt together maybe? The injection was blue as far as my wee brain recalls. Didn't make a bit of difference to her after I gave it anyway! Though reading that last one, she had a scour for a bit that wouldn't clear up, unless in that time she wasn't able to absorb the amount she needed & became deficient.

How are the HCA heifers temperament wise?

No problems so far. After a day they settled down, no issue going into them. It probably helps that they were bucket fed.

Delighted with the 2 heifers, will be interesting to see how they score on the maternal traits!

That's good value. My girls love the fairy village there too! We went to Craganowan after all. Was really lovely there. Hadn't been there since I was in the Boy Scouts which is a good few years ago!! :pac:

There's a lot more there now than I remembered and they had people there doing different things like weaving little bracelets, making small little breads on an open fire griddle and face painting. The girls loved it and it was a beautiful day just to stroll around.
Herself has some kind of a family pass for all the Clare heritage sites. Don't know how much it cost but we have made good use of it.

Is today a bank holiday?

Doesn't look like it. I dunno why I thought it was always a bank holiday after clocks change

Everyone must have slept in

last year I think the clocks changed around easter, so might have been the easter bank holiday monday the day after?

I'd say it's "common in Ireland" rather than typical, however the buck stops somewhere and if she didn't want to be shoved out maybe she should have rooted out the rot rather than patching it over, repeatedly saying everything was good and at the same time running a witch hunt for the people exposing the rot.

Nekarsulm · 27-03-2017 08:29AM

Releasing a statement today basically saying that "methods and procedures need to be investigated" is a bit late in the day, considering she was notified about the problem 3 years ago.

Or perhaps her husband could investigate, as he did before?
