yes she pulled the veins out... ended up with twine wrapped around her head.... took a load of veins from the bleeding side, the other side had feck all blood

She (weanling) will need to be watched over the next few days with the cold weather.

Busy day here bolusing all the weanlings on the kale, + cows that are going to be on it the rest of the winter. Got done:( 1% on my X compliance insp for gutters, anyone know if it's worth appealing it?

Worth appealing but I don't know if they listen at all.
(going off compliance topic here)
I still have two heifers that were not paid for through the suckler scheme last year. The reason? 'ICBF Invalid Error' which is what I see online. No one and I mean NO one in any office I was connected to, could tell me why I was not paid. I have given up looking for it at this stage. But to me, if someone is working in a job which is specified to deal with something, surely I would hit on at least one person who would give a single f**k about me getting my money.

Sorry...rant over:o

Do they not give you warning or a period of grace to rectify this?

At the risk of sounding repetitive, try your local IFA office, person there is paid by IFA, But he won't hold his job if he doesn't sell membership, and he won't sell membership if he doesn't solve local problems. You are entitled to the courtesy of being given a proper reason or payment, Its only going to entail another phonecall at worst

Thanks for all the suggestions, didn't think of asking IFA, the gutters need to be replaced, but its not a simple job. We have pillars up for another shed to go beside it and was waiting to put up the second shed before doing the gutters.

Your penalty sounds over the top to me unless the water from the leaking gutter is crossing a sh...y yard, Try the local office,they might get a bit of common sense into it

Thanks, it's just a niggling thing. I have put so much time into trying to get payment that I would just like to see some acknowledgement at this stage.
I've prob put more money into calls then the payment is worth but I'll be dammed if they fleece others who don't fight. Penpushers.................:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I had a letter from the SCWS last week about a pedigree heifer that I had registered in 2010. They said that I did not give the Sire details. I registered her through the agfood.ie site, and this does not allow you to register a calf without providing teh ai code or the bull tag number. Also, the Limousin society do your registrations from the agfood site - how did they produce a pedigree cert for the heifer if I hadn't provided the correct code??

I sent the above info to them in a nice letter. They rang me back again saying that i still hadn't provided the bull tag number. I had toexplain to them that i didn't know his tag number, it was ai. The lady on the phone then said "Oh I didn't know that you didn't have to provide the tag number if you supply an ai code".

pakalasa · 15-12-2011 10:13AM

You're right, you don't need to provide the Tag Number if you provide the AI code when regristrating on-line. I do it all the time.

The civil servvice is just a world of it's own isn't it. I remember a few years back, I was submitting a Single Payment application form, in the Dept Office in Ennis, on the last day. There was two windows open when you went in, with two women sitting behind them. There was a long queue at one window and nobody at the other. Of course I thought that the window had just opened and headed for it, the woman behind it just screamed at me - "I'm not doing the Single payment, go to the other window". Everyone starts laughing in the queue. The same for every farmer that came in after that. Got a laugh every time.
I felt like dragging her out through the window. She just sat there looking at the clock every now and then, while the other queue just got bigger.
Civil service for ya. Could you imagine a business operating like that. They'd be closed in a week.

I was putting on my riding helmet last year and a dead mouse fell on my head:(

I think only dogs could hear the screech that followed.

Roads are very bad around here. Never seen as thick of ice on them. We had a whole night of rain and it froze on top of the road. Can't even get the tractor up the gentle slope out of the yard. Just sits there with the 4 wheels spinning. Be careful if you're going out on the road today!

........must start doing the lotto!

reilig · 19-12-2011 10:03AM

RTE put up the wrong numbers on screen at the end and its feared that the winner may have dumped the ticket - according to the radio this morning.

Whoever types up the numbers must have been distracted
