I believe the icbf are one of the better value for money organisations. All of the other organisations listed above can be stopped, its up to each of us to decide whether they are value for money for your business. for all its shortcomings the icbf is farmer owned, if a private company had all our breeding info would they let us have the service at current rates? I also think there is a price to be paid for independent advice.

Most abuse is incestuous...

This is farmers doing it to farmers...

It's rampant...

No private company would have our information....it's a pointless argument...Well generated PR...

All of the above are touted and marketed as "farmer controlled"

Yes........"controlled""""

The republic of Wexico has today agreed to secession from Ireland.
We have decided that from now on "the sunny south east" will only be used for Wexico and not for as currently is used by that bogland Ireland for south Dublin, Wicklow, Carlow, loais, Offaly, Kildare, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Cork and Waterford.
Any attempt to stop Wexico from being the sole proprietor of the title "the sunny south east" will be answered with a quare good sprong in the haggart.

A chara.

Ye might have even some pikes left over since 1798, for the battle.

What soil temperature would you need to get growing, do you wait until ten degrees?

Nice calf pens and easy to clean. Upside down in the tweet but should be OK for Australians...

One addition I would make to that would be to put plastic sheeting in the back wall, doesn't have to be fixed, lad in England did that easier to clean and disinfect than concrete

Soon as soil hits 6 grass starts growing. Soil was 7 here last week and the whole farm has gone very pale in those few days

Short of silage.

Water John · 30-01-2018 06:35PM

Any marks for putting down,TLC?

whelan2 · 30-01-2018 06:51PM

There could be a few answers I think. Steaming up, lack of silage or crap silage?
