If you see a job that needs doing..
Where is this sauna with the women? DM me if you prefer!
One was set up by Michael McCarthy it seems to be back up and running. I saw it on an article earlier it was frozen and under review I gave a google and can't find it now

Don't encourage him 🤣
Jaysus lads the rain that has fallen here today has been biblical.
Places are in a swamp, they were in a better condition 4 weeks ago.
Ive a heifer that got hurt on the slats last week, she's checked out OK but I said id leave her out to a piece of ground near the shed that's relatively dry...besides Wednesday there is no way she'll stay settled..that says it all.
New moon on 17th according to the aul lads here thats an indication of the weather is changing for the better or not.
What kind of a day has it been for the rest of ye?
OOps, sorry.
I won't be going there though.
absolutely brutal, depressing, don’t know when cattle, slurry and fert will be out, downpour today
was ok till this afternoon. combination of rain,cold wind not great but hopefully forecast looks to be improving... in a week maybe?
Used to be full of women. Now full of boardsie farmer men wondering where the women are…
Better here in Cavan most of the day. Yesterday was a shocker.
Only started raining here after 3, but cold all day
had some shite day. was trying to get dung out before the rain came in afternoon. clutch went in one tractor. used loader tractor then and was a pan taking it on and off the spreader. then got a diesel blockage on that.
Went to check sheep in field let out on Monday and a fine lamb dead .
Went to fed calves this evening and one calf has pheumonia. Had to call out vet. soaked to the bone .
Going to watch the master snow for a while
It was nice this morning with sunshine and the odd shower but it turned into a hoor of a afternoon with a cold driving wind and showers. We've suckler cows/calves that have access to a dry bedded shed and they've been in lying since this evening. We've had to bring the dry/cull cows back into their dry bedded shed as they were hunched up in a group at the corner of a field - OH gave them a bale of hay along the feed barrier and they are settled for tonight.
I think I'm going into the protest thread. The wife has told me not to post in it though. No craic then. Masters on in the background. Don't usually watch golf.
Do you always do what your told? 😅
he’s needs to make a stand at home, let me know how it goes, if it gathers momentum I will join in at my home 😬
Easier to stoke the flames online than it is within the 4 walls here. In my house, I'm a lover, not a fighter. Anyway, I'm back. Thread fairly tame. Few blow ins talking manure to get the rise out of lads. Most are being ignored thankfully

that's it
Had to bring a relation to an afternoon appointment in the Mater today.Left home at 6am as we were afraid of getting caught up in Protests.Made great time till around 30 km from Dublin on motorway.Mr Geoghogans army were out in force…..they were very split up and there was no option to go in hard shoulder lane…..several work vans blocking it.
After about an hour and a half crawling we got a chance to get away and took it.Were outside the Mater for around 11,which was a relief for the passenger but couldn’t help but think it was ridiculous we had to leave so early….
Biggest thing I took from the day was there was literally only two farms with cattle out from Leitrim to Dublin and they were above Longford….other years at this stage in April there would be fields full of cattle.
It’s going to be a long costly year.
Some money raised already. Be interesting to see how much it raises in the end and where will it end up ?
Savage showers of hailstones going around here yesterday Thursday. A dry start today but rain started after dinner and didn’t know when to stop, bitter cold wind and serious gusts earlier and the lights were flickering but seems to have settled down now thankfully
Ya it feels like it could be a tuff year on a few different fronts. Looking at the back of the stack of bales here, place is swimming, no fertiliser out and no real grass worth talking about. Today was a wintery a day as we have got this year.
jjesus the protest group is something else
Yes and no. Years ago when boards was going great there used to be great busy heated threads. I'd say you were in them yourself
in a change from everything else this week, that’s after being some round of golf for Rory at Augusta. 6 shots clear at the top of the leaderboard and didn’t even play that well. Would love to see him win it again this year.
Winning last year seems to have totally released the pressure on him, can just go out and play now
but they haven’t gotten a seat at the table
They had the opportunity to have two representatives at the meeting but refused that because they wanted four.
Delighted to see the Astronauts back safe from their mission. I’d say that re entry was a terrifying experience.
Not having a go at you now Carroll’s, but people needs to be careful of this kinda thing, not sure what to call it - peddling rumours maybe… All it does is add fuel to the fire…
