Don't worry Bizzum. You're still in the top three
I'll say what Jim Royle would say...............Top three.......My Ar*e:DI always love looking at other peoples stock so I went a bit mad with the iPhone and here are a few of ours.
1st & 2nd pic is of the C sectioned heifer and black bull calf. Disappointed she had not a better bag of milk but she was just 2 yrs old last week - at least thats what the date of the card says! Lovely quiet heifer tho. Might bag next year.
3rd pic - a DEZ bull calf off a shorthorn cow.
4th pic - a 12 yr old cow LM & BB (AZL) calf. Pic does calf no justice. Cow is what she always was - a bit scrawny but brings a good calf and good bag of milk
5th pic - daughter of 12yr old - 8 yr old LM with BB (AZL) calf. Quiet animals but they kept moving on me so thats as close as I could get! Serious calf. Great back/arse and a great shine off him.
Lovely stock there! What did you put in that heifer in pic 1&2? She looks CH X Sim. Is the calf Lim?
Edit to add: I see his code now. Bohey Corporal the AA. Are Ya sure?????????????????0 -

its so hard to get him to change!
Sometimes you have to lead the way. We'll be as bad when we're their age I had an idea a few years ago to buy a quad sprayer (we don't own a quad) and I was almost f'd out of it for "wasting my money".
That is, until I had it out the back yard spraying water. Only then did he go in to bring out the sister to tell her what "we bought". 0 -

That's familiar alright!
My favourite is when I have a digger in and I'm stoning up a yard or a roadway around the place.
It starts off with "HE'S there digging up the place again :mad:"
Ends with "Well I managed to get my roadway in so now I've great access to...:pac:"0 -
Got him with a good one yesterday, we had to move his triplets to my place, cos I have grass On the way out of his place I was talking about lads who'd said they'd mismothering problems with lots of trips and we were talking solutions.
"Ah, there's a lot of sh1t talked on that internet" :rolleyes:
Arrive back at my place, sort out the trips and shed, and he's looking up the land. "By Jesus you've a load of grass here"
"Yeah", says I, "Must be all that internet farming I'm doing".
There wasn't much talk after that :pac:
Sure wasn't it from him I learned to pick my moments anyway :cool:
Like the time we were "discussing" (arguing) about buying a quad. He was pouring over the Journal one day, "Come here and look at this yoke, a new type of gate for quads so's you don't need to get off to open it".
.........."Would ya not want to get the quad first?"
"Ahem", ruffles and closes paper, starts watching TV
They can give it, but can they take it? :P0 -

One of my half Cheviot ewes and her twins born yesterday (photo yesterday). I brought 14 half Cheviot lambs to the mart three years ago and was offered €39 per head, brought them home. Kept 4 including the one above and sold the other 10 for €59 three weeks later This is her second set of twins so I figure I done OK First year trying the lamb jackets, mostly as a fox deterrent but getting on farm this morning to see it partially white from hail I'm damn glad to have them.

Just following on from last post. I saw one of these on a farm recently. It's a solared powered fox deterent flashing light. I wonder is it any good?

Waste of time, IMO.
I shot at, and missed
a lamb killer one night, around 10.30pm I think. She was back again in the same field at 2.20 am despite my mate being there with his Lightforce 170 shining around the place. His brother found the den up on the hill and we waited out until last light where she was nabbed coming out.
I know lads here who have solar powered lights, like driveway lights, out in fields. Sure if two men out with 1 million power plus lamps and guns won't put a fox off, how do they expect a driveway light will
