If I could wave a magic wand I would love to bring youngest to the Natural History Museum in London after his conferring (October) as a present for his achievement.
Do I need my passport up to date? His is so no worries there.

Cow that keeps calling even though she is in calf (definitely a calf there) is driving me, my bull calves, my neighbour and his bull, all daft! She calls every 3 weeks and is 'on' for 2-3 days. The neighbour's bull broke in yesterday for a romp - made bits out of the fence. Is there a chance there is something wrong with the pregnancy? She is not due until end of September.

Would they not just lift up his tail to get him to move on, also not a stick in sight, they made a hard job of it

I wouldve opened the bottom door at the front .
Fair play to them at least there was no roaring at all , men and animal were very docile

We were loading a bull once and we opened the door at the front, one of us went in in front of him with a bucket of meal and we went out the side door, the bull followed and also went out the side door, doing a fair bit of damage to the trailer

alot of fooks were said

Water John · 23-07-2017 09:10PM

Ah, ye were being very stingy, not leaving him the bucket.

I bought a pedigree heifer once. I had her tied with a halter to the front of the ifor Williams trailer. Not wanting to get a kick from her, I went in the side door. Rope was looser than I thought and she came out against me. Half in, half out with her head pulled back. Mad rush to get a knife. When we cut the rope she spun around and faced us. One of those split seconds where you thought - oh fook. Changed her mind and ran away. :rolleyes:

Would it ever be an island off west cork ?It reminds me of Aran getting something onto the boat before they did up the pier

Backing the trailer up to the bull, is brilliant.

Any farmers effected by the water stoppage in east Meath?

Or does everyone have their own wells?

Seeing as no one is paying for the water now i wonder will they be in any hurry restoring supplies.

whelan2 · 24-07-2017 08:35AM

I wonder if it happened during the week would it have been fixed quicker? Was in aldi in Drogheda yesterday. Trolleys full of bottled water being bought

I'd wonder if there isn't a bit of a point being made about how slow their repair is. Now that nonpublic funding they may indeed drag it out to show how needed the funding was needed.

Personally I think scrapping the water charges was nothing but a populous move amd had no basis in sound accounting. People don't respect what has no monitary value.
The existing tax take is insufficient to run the country and now it has to fund water development too, the result will be increased General taxation.

The killer is that the wasters who had time to stand around all day protesting because they are serial unemployed have benifetted because it will be the working tax payers who will foot the bill - again !

Water charges should have been brought in at a minimal payment and then steadily increased yearly at budget time as the population got used to tie motion. It was a monumental **** up by the current government that they couldn't manage this simple charge.

Listening to lmfm the pipe is 4.5m under the ground is over 50 years old. The fittings wont fit it as it has mis shaped over the years. They are getting fittings made in the north. It will be at least Thursday before water is back

Are the usual won't pay brigade giving out about no water or is the silence deafening from those scrotes

In two minds whether to go to the bog and finish bagging the turf or head off fishing for the day. Cracker of a day, nice not to be stuck at silage for a change.

Mentioned how theres so much of us out here to work alright. Said if you keep working away here and progress up the career ladder you wouldn't be long becoming a millionaire dairy farmer.

get the turf home. you can fish while it rains

Lakill was listening to the Gospel, about the weeding guests trimming their lamps.
A true farmer, don't miss an opportunity. A wet sod of turf won't give much heat. Rain Tues night/Wed.
