Close to the start now. Heads fried from technicians and sales reps rootin and bollo%in at the new machine. Bit of rain forecast is cancelled now, theres a lot around dry seeding for the last week to ten days and its looking like another week possibly without rain.

Big Tom has passed away earlier this morning. RIP.
My father would be a big fan of him and his music.

We have some growing near and old famine ruins here. Reminds me that no matter the hardship people always try and do their best.

Odd-Ear went very stiff in her knee overnight and because she's due in a fortnight I don't want to hassle her by taking her out and up the crush.
So I rubbed in deep heat and gave her a bandage.

Rough old town enough, remember living there for Kildalton. We had horses grazing the greens in the estate and he cops used to call to us regularly for a chat on the rounds wondering did we see anything, no gard i definitely didnt see a lad putting a drum of green into that van there.

Not a great time for marts. Hope there was no human or animal in it. Strange that a fire could get that bad in a mart. Mostly steel and blocks I would have thought.

Anyone that asks whom I'm not comfortable lending to I mention the nonexistent sized bearing, bust hoze etc.

Had a lad looking for a lend of our digger the other day. He said he could drive it himself as he'd watched loads of you tube videos.... he didnt get it.

In the company I worked for before, the safety manager asked me could he borrow my chainsaw as he wanted to cut up a tree at home. Ironic but i'd lend it to anyone else, one of these awkward types, if you know what I mean.

I think you'll have to bite the bullet and split it. I think there is either a 12 (?) inch or 13 inch clutch plate in them. Are you still using the loader every day? A NH dealer should have both sizes in stock, maybe ring them before you split?

Give me a 16lb sledge and a few cans of Monster and I'll give it a shot. I doubt the tractor would be much use by the time I'm finished with it. Ya I use the loader every day, I suppose I'll have to wait I've the cows out. Or else buy a new tractor. Christ I'd love a new tractor, something shiny and expensive for me to break

Guys I have a 92 Ford 6610 that the clutch is nearly gone in, I got it adjusted back in September but tis nearly worn out now. I was going to go and get the new clutch so that the mechanic could throw it in for me some evening. But apparently you have to open um up to see what type of clutch is in it before you can get one. Is there any way to tell which type it has at the moment? I use the tractor everyday and would have to take off the front loader so I don't want it sitting in the shed waiting on a clutch. Maybe some of the Machinery gurus here can help, as I'm about as a snooze button on a smoke alarm when it comes to fixing machinery.

Ballpark $500,000, in the yard since thursday, 3 days of people checking and calibrating, met another sound irish lad fitting a tank to it, 3 reps from 2 different companies giving the run down on it and were still not 100% on the workings of it.
Rain forecast for sunday bit of dry seeding until then and full steam ahead from monday on.

Happy days here tonight amiss this ****e weather that we have had for the past 6/7 months. Youngest is home from a marine survey today and is now on the whatsapp thingie (in the livingroom) chatting to eldest working in Melbourne. I'm not eavesdropping but it's nice to hear his giggles/laughter here in the kitchen

I'll sleep well tonight knowing both are OK.

How do lads train lambs to a creep feeder, we've always locked um into a shed or a yard with ration and when they get hungry enough they'll start to eat. But that's normally for when we've the lambs weaned. How do lads get um eating out in the field when there still on the ewes?

We start them early. We'd be feeding the ewes anyway so we just put a creep feeder beside the troughs. While the ewes are eating they venture in. You'd see a few of them eating with the ewes too but get nudged out. once they discover the creep feeder the rest tend to follow eventually. At the start they eat very little, but it's good for rumen development later on.

Be a harder task if you weren't feeding the ewes aswell. We find they take to the roofed creep feeders quicker because they would go in for shelter and discover it that way, but they aren't much use later on when 5 lambs would fill it and there's 50 lambs waiting to get in.

Salers are banned from my farm and FILs farm after we were both nearly killed by a freshly calved cow one time, never seen aggressiveness like it.
