    why do people sell stock as pbnr? for the sake of 40 or 50 euro would it not make sense to register them and get a better price:confused:

    Cork beat Dublin in 1952 and went on to win 3 in a row,

    Gaelic and rugger for the young lads, soccer is for the Michael Flatney's


    Last calf of the season this morn and he is a huge whopper, a lm bull from a mo cow, fairly tough pull, left them while i let out the cows and when i came back both were up and the calf getting his 'breakfast' :):)

    I've just put in the wrong breed for a calf when I registered it on agfood.ie. What do I do now to correct it?

    Email laura.lowry@agriculture.gov.ie & give all your details- herd num, address, pps num etc. Explain the situation and leave your num and she'll get back to you.

    On a completely other note, my neighbour (landlord) rang in a panic saying he had a calf stuck in a ditch of water and needed help quick.....I was in pyjamas so just stuck on wellies and ran over. He nearly wet himself laughing upon seeing me. I don't blame him:o

    i think they let you change it for a while. Just go to animal registrations, awaiting registration and edit.
