    Too many years in the job! You can't export with one tag and it costs to keep them in feed till it arrives!

    Athleague is in Ireland. They were grazed in Roscommon,(also in Ireland).
    Hence, they were not exported.

    Sense of humour! There are a lot of dry people here and also people trying to be smart and cute. If you want comedy just watch South Park or something.
    1 tag, well I never laughed so much.

    I know ;). It's a thing with texting and posting here though, that can get lost. It's just not the same as face to face conversation! I recall one our two texts I sent when texting was new and the receiver took them up wrong. That's a take for another day.

    Anyway, it's not worth dying in a ditch over it :). How's your health at the moment?

    Waiting on bloods to come back from Dublin, appears to be hemochromatosis and I had very low potassium, mine was 2.5 or 2.6 and that can be fatal:eek:

    I have hemochromatosis too. Related to the skin with me. Had to get blood taken off every fortnight. Look after yourself.

    a mild winter and you will have a large grass carryover especially after a coat of slurry. You know your land best but I darent close a paddock till after the 1st of Nov, carrying grass over winter is a non runner in my eyes. Prefer to start with an ate out sward the 15th of Jan and then douse with slurry.

    slurry spread on it,bob it was skint bare as the authum calvers were locked in it so i dont think that there will be a huge surge,as it takes grass to grow grass.

    Cricky moses. Can't say I know anything about it. Is it one of these long term conditions that you have to manage? Mind yourself, and now you're the perfect excuse for calling someone at 3am for that calving cow ;)

    Cheers Bizzum.

    She was a little heifer that i bought as the weaker of a pair, any other year id have bulled her and kept her but she was surplus to requirements this year, she a CH from a red LM X SH cow.. i gave E600 and after 11mts got E1050... had 4 others outwintered on silage and ration so she cost very little to keep

    Them split oak stakes are over 50 years old my grandad and granduncle split them.. they are lovely, give the place character i never throw them away just put new stakes in either side of them, or if they on the short side i put them into a wall, need the smaller gauge sharper staples for them though, i must have ran out that day:D well spotted though
