    I think the deadline was extended to Thursday due to Ophelia, whether that will effect it or not I don't know

    Depends what date the RDI was dated for.

    So anyone that had it sorted before the extension would have put in 14 Nov. And anyone after that would be 16nov or sooner of course

    That Actiphage Test for TB looks promising.

    A six hour turnaround. More importantly it picks up infection much earlier. It also will be able to be used in conjunction with vaccination.
    Hoping it gets the ok here soon.
    Any breakdown could be cleared out quickly, hopefully.

    Lads what's the youngest age a calf could get lungworm?
    I've a 4month old big blue bull calf that's coughing mad , sticking his tongue out beforehand. His breathing is a bit fast as Well. Never seen it in a calf so young.

    Was talking to a fella earlier. He found a bvd sample in the freezer it was there nearly a month. Completely forgot about it. He didn't register the calf either. He thinks the sample will be fine once its thawed out?

    Good stuff.
    Magic day mustn't be far off now.

    Shortest winter ever.
    Must get the fertilizer spreader yolked up.:D

    It would be grand though if our winter was over or we never had a winter in the first place. :)
    #feckoffwinter.

    Unfortunately it usually doesn't start till after Christmas.

    Winter here normally starts on the night of the 15th January with about a foot of rain just as the tanks are full:rolleyes:

    Next investment Buford, a tractor with tracks instead of wheels for those challenging conditions.;)

    Surprised there isn't a company retrofitting some tractors to tracks in this country given what ground conditions can be here. Even if it was just making a half track out of it.

    The old saying goes that kissing is out of fashion when the gorse/furze/whins is not in bloom - by that it is meant that isn't. Gorse tends to bloom both in and out of season....

    Anyone looking at pat kenny. Not the full story on that man that wound up dealing with a vulture fund. 50k loan on 200 acre dairy farm. More holes in his story than a tramps sock.
