If a good calf and you're not going to be waiting on genotyping 200 to 250?
Just born.
What age
Wouldn't you get fantastic labour efficency s in a setup like that.i was talking to a fella that was just home from nz.he was saying none of the farmers appeared to be killed out with work out there.its the winter and slurry fecks us here.out there the cows stay on the land most of the time and during the winter they might feed out a bit of silage with grass in the fields odd fella feeding beet and bales
Any idea what a BF/Beef SH heifer calf would be worth?
Well we had a nitrates inspection 3 years ago and he went through all the cards and the bord bia lads do also.
Bore bia auditor don’t need to see the blue cards as don’t concern him and only the dept look for the blue cards ( they are the owners of the card) the nitrates inspection don’t look at the blue card as they have a printout of what’s in your herd, have had the auditor and nitrates inspections here and never looked at the blue card.
Passed a neighbours farm today and nearly crashed the car when I saw the afforestation notice up. It was a good operation milking 60 or so cows upto 10 years ago and then he went into calf to beef. 3 adult kids none with any interest. Good land a bit heavy but no rushes I thought it sad to see it going into forestry
Daughter works in vets, doesnt take that long. Prefer to be busy is what she says. Interestingly the first day she started she was given a list of who not to give credit to. She was saying to me why do i know most of the people on it. They are not our vets
Stamping was never the problem it was the time taken signing. You wouls stamp a lot of cards with a date stamp in 10 minutes.
That article is from 2020, I believe it has changed since then. A lot of vets are not stamping them any more
There is still a mandatory requirement from DAFM to stamp all cards after a TB test. It hasent changed -
You'd be wondering have the coops some hand in developments being talked about above. Farmer dissatisfaction is well known. There's clearance sales of people getting out. Milk supply was back last year for the first time since quota removal. In texas Glanbia had joint ventures in dairy farms for milk supply.
Locally there were rumours of a new development getting in difficulty and that Glanbia at the time stepped in to just have the farmer on a paid wage to run the place.
It wouldn't be beyond all possibility that the coops realise that to maintain supply a different tack is required but to give the impression of non involvement and an individual independent capital investment by whichever farming company.
An Irish solution to an Irish problem.
Yep
Is that place in the start of mr cvx’s video from today ?
Planning is got, biggest issue is getting a concrete crew to take on the job at the minute
he failed in his latest stunt during the week.... no harm

They might have the very "sweet man" hired as an advisor and bypass all those objections.
There'll surely be a few planning objections to that
Yeah
The soft jobs are being affected 🤣😂🤣. Alot of the younger generation are well educated and won't be working like slaves.
If you need to feed your farming habit, a bit of beef farming or a few sucklers will do that for you. Less investment in facilities and labour.
1000 cow unit been set up locally here, first phase is a 80 unit rotary, with a 500 cow cubicle shed/calving shed, my digger man has a few months work in it, showed us the plans, theirs over a 1000 feet of slatted tanks going in....
Gas thing is its a concrete man developing it, he reckons he'll have no bother getting labour, had good feedback from the locals re working their, having a crew to run these units from the get go is more important than any other consideration when investing millions of euro into a dairy unit
Is that the farm that Corbally manages with his father
They laughed at us last Xmas when I asked about getting a winter milk contract, would of been averaging over a 100k a month from Oct to February sent in....
Culling most of the summer/autumn calvers as we speak, going back solely spring calving, they truly believe we are basically sock puppets that will keep the taps on
Yea, a local doing similar on two farms, had to buy both farms as well, A forty unit rotary on one farm, I've seen the foundations for that parlour and I believe robots on the other farm
Winter dynsentry I'd say, was rampant in the UK and Ireland last winter/spring, had it here and the symptoms above are what happened
No it was owned by a German family
Actually @ginger22 I think you are right and if I remember correctly it's Agfoods own calf reg app not the other software providers that you cannot use in the DNA program.
Yes you can by clicking on the column header little arrow.
You can also click on the 10 and change it to a larger number or "all" to view all animals in a single table by DOB or Sex or whichever column suits.
The Yank.. he has a farm manager in place to run it...
go onto google maps there and look up 'The Tankard Bar & Restaurant'... development is just north of it.. almost on the tralee-fenit greenway
