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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Youngest lad pulled a sickie today. Rolling around in pain at 8.45, then I Said he could stay at home . I went out to powerwash the parlour and he's out in the garden playing football. How do you know if they are really sick?Was tempted to drop him up to school

Guys has anyone heard anything about extending the grazing deadline for glas? Only got the cattle up there this evening and there is prob 3 weeks of grazing...and also we havnt been able to put fertiliser out so that's going to delay things as well....
This calendar farming is going too far....

That's only a week later than allowed.
How unlucky could you be to get an inspection in that week?

Glas grazing of meadow was extended to the end of the month. Chance a few days then ( they broke in) and shur nobody will be inspecting over the Bank Holiday. That gets you to the 8th May.

Fair enough-I'm putting up 2 lots to try get it fully grazed off as the grass is even getting a bit strong and will try get them home as close to the time as possible. It's true you would want to be unlucky but I already know we are overdue an inspection due to all the schemes I'm in....so it's a concern at the moment to try behave myself!! So happy to get the 2 lots out thou!!

I paid 850 for a one cow crush. Basic head gate, just use a sliding bar at the back. No steel floor or anything.

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

Was dehornng calves for a relative last night. He normally does them as yearlings but I offered to do them. They were strong enough, but one particular was very big and stone mad. He dragged me around the shed trying to get him in the crate. We let him off but then decided to put him in the crush gate. Low and behold he had no horns. Cow was a black and white simmental and calf was red and white. The AA polled genes must have carried through somewhere. Nice bit of luck for once. Shame to have just one yearling to poll.

Hahaha, I'm almost the polar opposite G, all those figures after a tractors name are like the Davinci Code to me. A neighbour who I'm helping out with A bit of fodder arrived through the ditch to me last year with his track machine after seeing me give a few evenings digging a drain by hand.

I won't deny that. Still have the fecking robin in my bedroom too. Looks like it'll be a long term pet as the wing isn't healing.
