Young lad that was murdered last week was from local village. He was in same school until last year that my kids go to. His granny is from very near us. Everyone is stunned. This time last week he was out with his friends. I don't know what type of a world we live in now but a life doesn't seem to mean anything anymore.

I know it's very close to you but from media reports there was a large number of teenagers involved.
It's hard to know what to think when you read that!

An awful lot of young people lost in the last month
devastating for the families. You would hear about them but it hits home when you have family around their age
I have twins about the same age as the lads in Clare, a group of them were down at the river the last few days. The boys knew that girl in Tipperary

I don't know what happened. Plenty of different stories eldest lad would know most of those that were there. This would be the safest area ever for your kids to hang around. I don't know if there was still a big gang there when it happened but to leave him there and say nothing for a week is making everything worse. The reservoir was drained looking for his phone

We got a text from the local secondary school today that kids are not allowed to swim in the local closed quarry

My lads are qualified life guards but that only helps if everyone follows the don't be a dick rule. There is a life buoy and defibulator in the area that they have being trained to use.
But it makes you think about what they get up to when in a group together.

Don't respond to this (well it's up to yourself).

But from reports in the mirror.
I can safely post this because it's already online on the mirror.
There was an altercation at the chippers.
There were three groups of young people.
Group A were smokers (teenagers up to 17).
Group B were drinkers (teenagers who wouldn't harm anyone).
Group C were drug takers who fancied themselves as hardline republicans (teenagers to early 20's)

The murdered chap had an altercation with a female from one of the groups at the chippers.
The groups moved onto the field after the chippers. The chap was strangled.
The two other groups were warned that the same would happen to them if they opened their mouths.

The mirror also said his phone was found in a house up the road from me. Paper doesn't refuse ink. There was a phone found in the church grounds on Sunday which turned out to the parish priest.

"But I can remember even worse. Did anyone ever see hay "lapped"?"

I lapped hay along with my father sometime in the 70s I think. It was a wicked bad summer, we were wearing wellies to pull the hay out of the wet spots. He taught me to lap, told me to go and relax that it was far too hard to do - but I wanted to help so set at it and discovered that I was able to make good ones. The hay dried in no time and we built it on the haylifter to bring it to the best bits of the field. He had a knack of making a teepee fixture of branches and built haycocks on them too. They worked a bit like footed turf allowing the wind to circulate. Was a bit of a curse though when we were building into the shed, the branches had to be sorted out as we forked in. Aah, I miss those days working with my Dad.

Anyone know anything about our new presidente Martin Keane?

I like a long handled fork, i've great wide arms so can get a bit of power into the throw when i'm being lazy with silage. Dad uses one about half a foot shorter.

Poor whelan, good job she's a lady or she'd be afraid to pee

Hi, this first calver calved on her own yesterday evening, slight pull.
Checked her this morning and she had the bed out, vet called and he put it back, everything was fine but checked her again and she has a small piece out again, had a neighbour look at and he said to leave her.
Im not sure......any advice. She is not forcing or anything.

It's not the calf-bed, the uterus, anyway. Looks like vaginal mucosa, possibly swollen. Could it be a bit of cleaning? Another possibility is a fat prolapse where a piece of the fat lining the canal escapes out through a tear in the vaginal mucosa.
If you crush her up you should be able to identify what it is.

Thanks greysides, it’s not cleaning as I checked with vet that she had cleaned, I had her up the crash and it has a fatty texture, would I need to get the vet again?

greysides

I'd leave it alone for now. See what your vet thinks later. In the past where I've encountered them some days after the calving I've twisted them until they came away as the twisting should control any possible bleeding.

Mac Taylor

Thanks greysides, appreciate the advice.

Might be no harm move the last few posts into the Calving thread (as different from the calving shed). It will get lost here after a few days of idle talk.

You'd have to wonder what do people be thinking when at that crack.

Why cut off the ears, a lot less messy just to cut the tag, Hopefully there's a DNA sample to nail him,

Doubt it.

Anyone who is prepared to cut off a calves ears/tags and dumps their carcasses into a local river probably hasn't bothered to register them let alone send in a BVD sample.
Shocking carry on and not representative of us farmers.

The department will suss it out. Less births registered, breed etc. Process of elimination.
