What weight is the heifer? Will you be taking the whole animal back and what cuts etc? Have two empty heifers here thinking of keeping one for the freezer next summer off grass. Between 3 or 4 houses. She is 25% fleckveih 75% hol/fr.

560kg on the scales last Saturday.
Hereford cross heifer.

She’s going to hang for three weeks and then he will call us about cuts etc. It’s being shared among two houses. First time killing a heifer.

One of them lads arrived into our place a few years ago, took us months to get rid of it. Would just stand there looking in the window at us all day.

Au contraire. Locally produced product is better that importing decorations from china. It's reusable and recyclable.

It says more about our Public Servants than about Goodman. It seems anyone can rip off the public service

Hard to fathom how such an amazing error of payment occurred.
Considering the number of desks it would have to pass over to be approved and released for payment...

If nothing else, there had to be a GL code created with enough in it to allow the overpayment, and those are usually set up for one particular use only.

I think I've posted about "The Great Reset" before, take a look at this. The attempt to patent seeds was just the start.

"According to WEF’s founder and executive chairman, Klaus Schwab, the forum is guided by the goal of positioning “private corporations as the trustees of society” to “address social and environmental challenges.”

Isn't it, narrow peoples options and you literally funnel their wealth into corporations. I'm not sure if I've posted the one below here before, but in case people think the rich have us mere mortals best interests at heart here's another article.

Food is one of the biggest targets as far as I can see, so ag is very much at risk, particularly animal ag.

Sure thats just the goal of all free market capitalists since the first corporations had to be forced by law to stop maiming children in their factories

You're not joining the dots together between the super wealthy, universities, researchers, media, politicians etc. They are now in a position to make the policies and laws.

Absolutely agree. Intel could and probably do set policy in this country through the back door.

Put Lugol’s iodine in the drinkers
Can’t find the strength
It recommends 1ml per 10 cows
Does anyone know the % it is

The label says added to water
1ml to 5ml per 10 cows
For lactating cows 1ml per 10 cows

I was wondering would it be 10%?

I never knew there was different strengths of it. Always just give 1ml per cow per day in the drinker

We always used proportioner pumps with the sucklers for iodine and msgnesium in the spring.
That's twenty years ago, does anyone use them now

35 locations pumping out raw untreated sewage.
Wonder how many more are pumping out partly treated sewage which surely is just as bad for the environment.

Saw something about the Aran Islands this morning in a link to the Irish Times, sewerage being pumped into an SAC that both the EPA, NPWS, and CC have been made away of for years via 6 monthly reports from people inc photos.

If it was something from a farm going into an SAC the farmer would be in court.

Water and sewage charges were badly needed but sadly their implementation was fumbled badly at the time. There was too much emphasis on creating Irish water and not enough on training people to the notion of paying for services.

If they had started with a flat fee of €5/month to acclimatise people to paying that could have been built on. Stupidly they went in spending millions on Irish water and meters and gave too much ammunition to the “hell no we won’t pay” brigade.

Be a long time before water and sewage charges can be attempted again.

Bitter Pill and his "trickle", pissing people off was a great idea. Mind you he was consistent given his comments re some payments that it'd be embarrassing for him if farmers didn't take them. Thick to the last.

Coincidentally, there are photos of a CC sludge tanker in Kilkenny discharging sludge into a farmers ditch on FB. No doubt had they not been photo'd that farmer would be hung for it.

Govt wastes enough money, to have people pay for water they need to offer a quality supply first. Some of the water around the country you wouldn't drink even it it were boiled. Our villages water comes from such a distance it's laughable, the former supply lake is grown in as it's surrounded by septic tanks, wonder who gave permission for them!
