    Two bulls here that were missed when I was away in Monaghan, will see how they look before they're sold in the Spring, may get away with them if they grow slowly.

    The 3/4 is a great cow, with both milk, colour but can be a little nervous depending on the bulls used

    The only red mushrooms that I know by name are fly agaric and that is because I worked with a guy who had an obsession with them ;)

    Another vote for the Sickener. As the name suggests they are poisonous.
