Ah well. You live and learn. Couldn't believe I made it home to be honest.

Was collecting 10 calves last yr with the Rav and had the 10x5 cattle box after it. Diesel light came on at the Barefield exit on M18 bypass outside Ennis a full 80km from home. Had it in my head to refill in Labane but it was during the flooding so we were detoured up through Labane village and back onto the N18. Got a phone call to do with the real job and was on the phone until 4km from home and as I didnt see the petrol station and was concentrating on the work issue i totally forgot about the diesel. Anyway got jeep home backed into the door of the calf shed turned off the Rav and it wouldnt start again.

I've a Toyota auris 1.4d, a few years ago, the time guns n roses were playing the point and wouldn't come out on stage. We got sick of it and left at 1:30.

Never thought of diesel. Red light outside Dublin and no petrol stations were open, I don't think the junctions stations were open yet either. Came off the motor way and went the old route home. Every town I met, petrol stations were closed. The car kept going. Finally met a DCI pump toomevara. I thought We would have to sleep outside one of the stations and wait until one of them opened.

Twas some stress. I was like a bear at school the next day,

When I started rearing calves in 1982 you could purchase antibiotics and doses from the local chemist without a prescription.
If my memory severs me correctly, the first meds restriction was over the counter sales of hormone implants like Ralgro and Feneplex (sp) in the early 90's. Since then the regulations have become stricter and long may it continue.
If any livestock farmer can't afford to pay the Vet for consultation/prescription then they should quit.
Why should I and my Vet adhere to the rules whilst others feel that they can flaunt them.

I have to respectfully disagree with you there BP. As a livestock farmer if I cannot recognise the likes of a scour or a chill or even pneumonia or coccidiosis in my cattle without having to give the vet €80 for a call out I am a poor farmer. Alas I have to do it this way and that is a part of why I am a very poor farmer.

God bless your innocence!!

Just in cattle.

Although the odd time nature throws up a curve ball.
There was a brother and sister(twins) living near me and the sister was strong as an ox and built like a prop forward, while the brother was squeaky voiced and timid, and about 6 stone weight.

I don't think so. Too much testosterone.

Buford is just after freaking me out about parasitic twins and that there could be another little fella inside me like those Russian dolls.:eek:

Worse- I just googled it. Not good. Nightmares ahead.

Back to reality here after a long long week at silage. The long days seemed a lot easier when I was 17.
