    No rugby for me today. Called vet about reading and he said "out in the day". Normally when he gives a time, it could be 5 hours after.

    Our architect put our floor level 1.5mtrs above the road, thinking the council would make us drop it 2mtrs (they never did) and with the hill, I ended up having to put 50 loads of gravel on the site- lucky I have a quarry or no air to water heating. He drew down big dumper loads, if I were buying them off a local lad- multiply that number by 1.5 and then €60 a load cash.

    You'd be able to register the calves alright, nothing will stop you putting in any bull you like as the sire.
    But it'd definitely be looked at more closely as you're supposed to have a bull of 4/5 stars to sire your crop of calves. So if he hasn't a bull in his herd & suddenly 10 calves appear from one fella, it could be flagged as a movement that's not been done so both of ye could get in trouble.

    Knight, it's actually nice to pitch a house, a bit over the road.
    The water will run away, at least.

    I know of a father and son who had a bdgp inspection due to this exact reason and got caught rotten with the two herds mixed. Only heard it third hand though so don't know the exact story.

    For the BDGP scheme they will send you out tags for the genomic testing. This will confirm the parentage, so any messing with the sires used will be found out.
    I bought in 6 cows and heifers this year. I managed to talk to the previous owner of two, so got the bull tag number for these. 4 have unknown sire. Will this be ok?

    I'd say it should be grand. When they are genomic tested, either a site will be matched to them or they will get their own genomic evaluation outright.

    Doesn't bother me in the slightest bar if we were to build it at the height it was supposed to, it would be level with 3/4 the height of the telephone pole.
    Engineer said he would sort it to have it at a good height.

    I told the wife we will have to call it Mount Ararat. (The mountain Noah parked his ark. :) )

    I'll make sure to do it justic and cook it a nice rare/medium rare!

    You've reminded me how much I miss rare steaks in Ireland, can't get any restaurant kitchen to send them out no matter how you try.

    The only answer to the question "how would you like your steak" is "nothing a good vet couldn't rescue".

    All clear in the test for another year. Two heifers successfully made a break for freedom. They're in the hill meadow now enjoying the first bit of grass.

    I have some naked land off a cousin this year to submit for bps. He has no map for it though. Is there anywhere online I can find a lpis number for the plot.

    Practical as well. My house was built more or less level with the sorrounding ground. The driveway was also laid at the same level. Unfortunately over the last 30 years the level of the road has increased due to resurfacing which causes run off from the road to flood the gateway and part of the garden during prolonged/heavy rain.

    What breed were these CC? Were they Herdford x Fr? How much tonne of meal to finish?

    BAxFR and CHxFRx. They were long framey Rs. HEX would never grow enough quick enough for 16mt finish IMO. They never went a day without meal from calves. 1/2 a kg high protien mix every day once reared. Went into shed at 12mts on 3kg and were adlib finishing with 4weeks to go and were just over 15mts hanging. Costly game☺.

    If they were not submitted previously there might be no lpis number. Mark them on the map and call each number plot A, plot B and do on. The dept will then issue new lpis numbers. It helps to give as much info as possible on the location. Is there a neighbouring farmer who you could ask what his lpis number for the neighbouring field. It will help the dept locate the fields easier.

    I have a calf here that I posted about not sucking a while back. Today after 13 days of stomach tubing the penny dropped. Calf is a bit of a weakling too buy hopefully will power on now.

    Looks like it's going to be a good year for tillage farmers here.
    Late snows and frost seem to be affecting crops in Russia and eastern Europe.
    There's a thread about it in the weather forum mostly on about orchards and vineyards but with temps reaching the late teens and early twenties just a few weeks back and now with this sudden shock I'd imagine it should have a big impact on tillage crops (Unless the snow protects them from the frost).

    I might only get skittles like the ad.

    It'll keep the three women in my life happy and save driving to dublin.

    Been a few years since I was here. They have a fine job done on the Asian section. Fair play to them.

    Weddings are becoming very agricultural now.

    I had a cousin when he got married.
    They hired out a CAT challenger rubber tracked crawler tractor and the bride and groom drove it into Kilkenny city to langtons house hotel for the reception.
