Is it because I don't know sheep that I have no idea what scolp or frisky means?

No Karen...sure thats a goat, the wild sheep are too fast to catch around here

Frisky is milk replacer and a scolp is a hole between the rocks. (john beat me to that one)

Hard to see from the pic but I would imagine its mutton island going by the village I can see in the background in the other pic.

No hanging around there. Is it the same contractor doing both?

Contractor doing the silage. Our own machines and a neighbour we share machinery with doing the slurry.
Silage crew were fair sick to see two tankers waitin in the field when they arrived. No sweet smell of fresh grass, just slurry goin on nice and thick!

JohnBoy · 30-07-2012 12:55PM

now that's getting the job done, two full tankers waiting for them!

Spent a few hours chasing the pot of gold yesterday evening....thought I was close at one stage but alas, I now have a landcruiser with an empty diesel tank

towzer2010 · 02-08-2012 01:40PM

Well this was the view last night when I was finishing a bit of topping. Red sky at night sorta worked here in the North west. Nice day so far.

Nice heifers there Tommy, what mart are you selling at? Let us know how you get on.

Tommyj1 · 04-08-2012 10:20PM

Thanks lad.

They have been on tight grazing all along. They have put on a fair bit of condition even so. Will it leave them harder to calf?

Yes as you can get a bigger calf. Having said that it doesn't seem to affect their saleability at the mart;)

What are they in calf to Tommyj1 ? Where are you selling them

Tommyj1 · 04-08-2012 10:31PM

I am selling them in Clogher mart in Tyrone. I have seven to sell now. They are AI'd to curaheen apostle. Does anyone have any calves of this bull? They are due from next week on. The crap weather has probably not helped the trade at the minute. Hopefully there will be good enough demand for them.

moy83 · 04-08-2012 10:49PM

I think they are back a bit alright but you never know . Hopefully they will do well for you .
