Best of luck with it. I thought it was only lads with companies buying land. 😉
Best of luck. For some reason I thought aswell you were closer to the place in Kilcolman.
I have a different take on it.its only dear if you can't make the repayment s.t
Non buying regrets are as bad and last longer.
Would you consider changing to milk now? Or did you say the young lad was working up the country?
Back in the college days it was said to be caused by silver weed, have seen several over the years will recover most of them but not fully.
NAFH, beef to the heels like the Mullingar heifer. Two farms are 8 miles apart anyway. I was not lucky or unlucky, the younger lad will have an conditional option on this place. But no I am a beef man
Not really if there was a budget and it flew over it. No regrets once one stuck with the plan.
The country is littered with bitter under bidders. One of the best ways of falling out with your neighbours. Ya, they go on to buy somewhere else after but it's not the same.
Best of luck with the new place Bass. Is there much of a distance between it and the other farm?
If them 3 con artists get re elected then good look them at 100kp.a
It would be more of a reflection on the people that vote for them
Is that the place selling on the 29th? Farm and Out Farm? Not sure about the main Farm but the out farm would be heavy enough. Think the silage was cut off it in the last couple of days i was looking at the correct spot from the road along below.
yeah selling next wednesday 29th
All taken by one man whole lot that’s for sale went into a pit I was told.
I rember those sleepless nights the first week too. Everyone telling me the following week was I crazy the money I had spent. Now u wouldn’t buy it for twice the money and it’s almost paid off. best of luck with the land bass.
fair play and best of luck with it ….serious respect for anyone that buys land
GGreat Way to get a reserve built
Why.its just that I found a change in attitude to me when I bought .suddenly I found certain people seem to listen to me more whereas before I suspected they thought I was a bit of an ejit.the thing is they were right before,buying land didn't change that
Would hardly last 6 weeks in the yard it went into I’d say big operators, buy a huge amount of silage in every year.
I’d be very interested to see what that farm makes. Land prices in that part of the country can be a bit funny. If the big dairy farmers outside the ditch from it aren’t interested I’d say it would be surprisingly cheap. I’d be guessing the main block will make close to €20k/acre with the way things are going lately though
Hearing €3m being thrown around for it, similar size farm in west limerick not as good as the home block in that place in kilcolman but all in one block made half of that I believe and it was ‘sold’ 2/3 times before the eventual buyer bought it for crazy money going by the stories people were telling. If the home yard in kilcoman makes €2m it definitely wouldn’t be a farmer buying it anyway.
So the hynes farm are scaling back by 40 cows. That's a fair hit yo take.
Their gone into high end show cow holsteins now, outside looking in their spending bats**t crazy money buying in stock, and showing animals etc….
I’d say they have the parlour and shed paid for that they built so might not be as big a hit but to me that many cows of a drop is the proper pay back for the hardship endured to get them there / less money accumulated due to loan repayments.
the respect would be for how that person put the Position where they could buy ….have the deposit and the ability to repay it
There’s 4 lads in my parish including myself early/mid 20s have all bought land with parents in the last 2 years all of us working off farm too, all milking at home the off farm income makes things a lot easier when getting approved with the bank for money and spreads the risk. Big commitment when you could go away to aus like the majority but should pay off in the long run you’d be hoping.
Ya, you can't go too far wrong with land. Stamp duty is the biggest drawback. I find even to let it out or grow crops on it it's less hassle than buy to let's and easier to maintain.
I used alot of this bull this year. Fr7860. He's no superstar but he's around a while and i like the herd. Might get a red friesian out of him too.
I’d only be admiring a lad who managed to do it through farming and nothing come from off farm income. That’s very rare these days tbh I think. A lot of money coming from other sources to help the purchase
Good man. Support the Kerry genetics.
There's not too many bad dairy farmers surviving back that way
