Now look what chasing girls and beering results in.☺. Nearly time to tie a knot in it now!! Fingers crossed. As long as pair of them are healthy Muckit will be a happy buck. Remember herself was in hospital and was dropping my small lass to the parents to go up to visit. I think she was in a week at that stage. Got the call in the middle of the customary spuds. Come now quick there is something wrong. That was 7.40pm. Mad dash to hopsital and into operating room and at 8.40 and 8.44 the twins arrived. Few weeks early but all healthy and well.

The antivenom is only an hour away, cut off blood supply to the area bitten and ease it back in slowly and you should be right. Another backpacker here is terrified of swimming in the sea herr due to sharks, i just say look youll be bit as handy worrying as not worrying.

Are sizing her up? Checking the bones and seeing if she's bagging up?

Cutting off blood supply ain't a good idea

Not really, that's the way we get lambs tails and balls to drop off

I suppose, but letting the venom spread wouldnt be ideal either though...

Article on yesterday's Independent about a stolen 800 year old relic of St.Laurence O' Toole that was returned after some people in the theives community died of heart failure and it was believed the relic brought a curse upon them.

Well your guaranteed to lose a limb at that practice. Your supposed to release a the blood flow every 10mins or so to not damage the limb. Once you do that the venom will spread.

I'd say if the anti venom ain't with ya in 15 mins your in bother.

We carried a large selection on patrols in Africa just in case. That was with heli support on call

Thank God for St. Patrick is all I can say. Farming is dangerous enough without those hoors lurking about.

Tell me this, how long after a dose of slurry would it be OK to cut for silage?

It probably more depends on the cover of grass when slurry is applied and if it's washed off before the crop is cut or not than time.
Band spreading or a mosca and I'd say you'd be laughing.

I know what you mean, but we were told thats what to do. By releasing the blood flow for a bit every ten minutes or so you're only letting a small bit of the venom into youre bloodstream opposed to the full whack. In our area they dont hand out the antivenom either you have to stay under surveillance there where youre bloods are monitored regularly to decide whether or not you get the antivenom.

Is it in short supply? Sounds like you should be afraid of the wildlife

Theyd give it if needed. Its free for humans and $3000 for dogs i think.

I bolused my sucklers with 2 Rumbol magnesium each last week. Afraid of tetany in this cold weather with stock out.

Want to give them an AllSure bolus also..just wondering is it too much to be putting into a cows belly?

Have you a headscoop ? I went to dose a few cows yesterday and just ended up doing the few that really needed it because they were hoors to catch .
It will have to be injection or pour on from now on

Pack the chute and get someone to keep the cows in front backed up on the one your dosing bullocks. Dosed and bolused 20 yesterday without a bother and a few of them are wary enough. Hook gun is a good job too.
