Dairy Chitchat 4, an udder new thread.

I don't know about these foreign retirements. I get bored of them places after a week.

I'm hoping to konk in the tractor at 105 years old with a fag in my mouth.

Or at least with my family around,

I highly doubt any accountant can manage money better than a pension fund which first off all only costs you €60 for every €100 you put in and secondly can avoid any capital gains tax (33%) up until retirement. So assuming €100 is on average invested for 10 years and a pension fund generates 5%; that leaves you with €162 having only cost him about €60. If the accountant invested €60 and needed a €162 fund post CGT at retirement he would need €155 of return over the period which would be the equivalent of about 10.5% per annum. Doable I guess but if he could do it he wouldn’t be an accountant; he’d be a professional investor

100 percent. It'll be an oul huer of a vape come that time.

The longer I live, I'm reckoning that luck and stubbornness are the secret.

Give a small bit to a broker. Low risk stuff. I do wonder sometimes was i better off buying cattle!

I used hear him on with that tosser cooper ,it is such a pity that farmers can not find someone as eloquent and get free air time as him to get their views across ,he really was able to put the boot down on farmers of course unchallenged

Kieran Fitzgerald the agriculture economist was on the last word about 2 weeks ago with that so called journalist Charlie Weston about the cost of living and Charlie’s hobby horse of blaming farmers for beef and dairy being expensive.Fitzgerald absolutely demolished him and put him straight back in his box about following green policy leading to food getting dear.if you can listen back to it it’s well worth a listen .

it’s not so far fetched when you see what it costs to rear a heifer to that stage …then throw in years of breeding ,records and in calf to sexed etc ….Radney and Lisduff have sales coming up …lot of top quality heifers in both and majority in both will fetch an easy 3 k
