was in the mart today, there was a lim weanling bull, he was mad , was going for the lads trying to put him in the ring etc, held the whole show up, i was commenting to the guy beside me that he was a bit mental and he said , thats my bull:D
That reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me once
His father had a calf that he was bucket rearing but the calf was a proper screw
He couldn't put condition on him no matter what he tried so decided to sell him and be done with it.
He took the calf to the mart and was chatting to an acquaintance at ringside while he was waiting for the lot to come up.
Eventually it was time to sell the weanling and it came into the ring looking very sorry for itself and pretty miserable.
His acquaintance said "Oh good jaysus will you look at the state of the yoke coming now!"
My friends father slunk away in shame and brought him home again

What does it work out in €? €450? Best of luck with it. Galvanising will stand to it.
All that's left now is to fit crash bars on the side of the quad to keep the cow away from you!
399 pounds sterling in cash on collection so no vat. What ever that is in Euro. Been searching on donedeal for something like it for months and was resolved to buying the wheels, stubs and wheels and making one as a winter project. Couldn't make one for 399 pounds!! It being galvanised is an added bonus!!0 -

a man was telling me yesterday he was dosing a heifer and had her all clipped injected and went to open the head gate and she jumped the crush (its 5 ft) out in the yard jumped another gate up to the house jumped the wall out on to busy main road(lucky nothing coming) up the road into somones house and straight threw 5 row of barbed wire, and threw 4 fields untill it came to a field of cows:eek:
.....and then jumped over the moon! The little dog laughed to see such fun and the dish ran away with the spoon! 0 -

I see Progressive Genetics have a new catalogue (at least new to me anyway!)
http://www.progressivegenetics.ie/testsite/beefdata/beeffeature.php
Some very interesting bulls.
But the best description of stock I've seen in a while is their description of the Limousine bull, Netherhall Epics breeding ability as:
" The first calves are just born and look very promising, oozing style with 'peachy bums' " 0 -

with self assessment income tax and preliminary tax having to be paid next week, this year i did something different i pay €500 a month through direct debit so wont have to pay any preliminary tax next week:D its alot less painful than having to pay the full whack in 1 go. I know you are not obliged to pay any preliminary tax , but it does soften the blow. The biggest down side in itis that the money has to come out on the 9th ofthe month which wouldnt be a great date for me, this can not be changed:mad:
get a fee free bank account. (assuming they can still be gotten these days)
setup a standing order from your current account to the other account on the date that suits you, and change the direct debit to go from the new account.
our mortgage is paid on the 17th of every month but the money goes out of the current account into the feeder account on the first of every month. all our direct debits in fact go from that feeder account so on the second of the month whatever's left in my bank account is what I've got to spend on myself. the food/house laser is topped up and all the direct debits for phone, internet, tv, creche etc are covered. takes a while to get used to but it's actually the business as it eliminates a lot of unpleasant surprises. works best with a regular income though, not sure how appliccable it is to full time farming
