If you knock the bag of fertilizer sideways onto a pallet with the slit up the bag might go slack and silage tape should fix it but bring it inside it you can.

Quick question. I’ve a heifer booked for slaughter with an abattoir in west Clare for the freezer. Just looked at her dob and she will be 31 months. Does it make any difference or do I need to call the butcher to check anything.

Ask the butcher just in case. I think an animal is deemed a full adult at 30 months and SRM has to be removed from the carcase. Small plants don't have the equipment to do this.

I see when I looked at FSai site about SRM- the lad I had called doesn’t have adult bovine on his list. I’ll call in am just in case.

There is an abbatoir in Ennis and in meelick that say they do adult cattle.
The first one was up for sale, I don’t know are they open.

I think it’s a sad state that the only two you can choose from are those two.

In that televised debate- trump did say he would denounce no problem and after that phrase his wording was wrong, either loaded or not. Biden still hasn’t denounced BLM when there was violence.

Biden telling Trump to shut up was not optimum either- imagine loosing your cool in a high pressure situation.

Everyone said the world would end the second trump got the launch codes, and it still hasn’t happened.

The far right are so far right and the far left are so far left, they are nearly side by side.

Free speech been effectively destroyed by twitter/Facebook in their handling of burying the hunter biden laptop story is the most worrying aspect, along with any good news story about trump posted by various news outlets been removed our accounts suspended by the above two, that's communist levels of censorship and is extremely worrying....
For all trump's faults at least he managed to effectively shut down the American war machine in the middle east, I'd fully expect sleepy joe will ramp it back up again the minute he potentially gets back into power

There was a lad on Twitter that put a photo on Biden on top, a long white space and trump at the bottom. And vice versa with the title- just checking the Twitter algorithm and all you could see was bidens face in all the photos.

Now I don’t know was that set up or what as I’ve no clue about Twitter etc but if it’s true, it’s an awful lot of tinkering of an election.

They locked the account of the White House press secretary for retweeting the hunter Biden ukraine story, it has also come to light that a 90 page Senate report has been commissioned on it as been factually true, with no denial from the Biden camp our legal proceedings for defamation by them against various media outlets for printing the story....
The deluded perception that if trump is gotten out of office, it will overnight solve America's problems is grasping at straws

Two different posts with trump at top in one and at bottom in the other.

It was one long photo with the two boys on either end of white space.

In all the photos, Biden appeared in the preview. Below is the link.

Been long known that Twitter are manipulating feeds.

Same experiment was done with posts with white people and black people. The algorithm always previewed the post using the photo of the white face and hid the black face. Twitter apologised and said ot was unintentional, but coding is rarely unintentional

It'll leach before the grass gets favourable conditions to grow proper.

Let it into your slurry tank and spread in the spring with the slurry.

Anyone you know have a soft hands bale lifter, might take the pressure off the slit. Roll of Silage tape to seal it.

Thanks for the replies. AFAIK our slurry contractor has soft hands thingies. I will phone him in the morning and ask if he can move the bag into a shed for safe keeping for the Winter.

Could you get a couple of rachet straps around it, might stabilize it for you.

foxy farmer · 01-11-2020 11:09PM

Silage tape won't do. Get a roll of bale wrap and stretch it around the bag a few times.

Genghis Cant · 01-11-2020 11:34PM

I have it, I have it..... What you need Base is Rachet straps , silage tape and silage wrap.

Wrap the bejaysus outta it with them all. Hang a sprig of holly over it and rub on a bit of burnt oil .

The jobs a good un! :=)

That's an good idea. The cut is about half way down the bag. We have plenty of ratchet straps around here so will try it tomorrow.

We buy large square bales (8x4x4) of barley and wheaten straw for the diet feeder. I always save the twines as they are always useful.

Only if you prop up the bag with holly branches first, many people forget this critical step.

NcdJd · 02-11-2020 08:44AM

There's only one crew that does the big square bales around here. I was lucky enough to find this before all the baling twine collectors found out about it. It's now under lock and key with all my other bits of baling twine. Touch wood I've never had the need to use it thank god.

Got onto the abbatoir there. No difference to them TG.

I had it in the head I’d have to sell in mart and try again next year. Very hard to finish on our land.

Thanks for the advice.
