    does anyone know where you can get those ear defenders with a radio inbuilt in for cheap, and are they any good at keeping out noise?

    My OH had the ones with the knob for turning volume up & down & tuning, they kept going off station as he worked, he insisted that he wanted digital ones - searched everywhere for them - ended up getting they from amazon in the states, worked out cheap & had them in 3 or 4 days. Never heard any complaints about them since he got the new ones, he wears them on the ride-on lawnmower & sometimes at work when working on noisy machines (in a factory)

    Peltor is supposed to be one of the best makes

    Agree with nhg. peltor are definately the pick of them. i find the ones that come round your neck rather than over your head far more comfortable. mcquillans could be worth a look.

    hi,

    was it ever confirmed how many were officially accepted and how much that equates to in our pockets?

    Lads and ladies,

    The payment for the Suckler Discussion group is due to be paid out before christmas. All BTAP advisors have received confirmation by email of who in their group has met the 2 required measures and who has not in the last 5 days. It may be worth a call to your BTAP advisor to ensure that you have been approved for payment.

    The majority of people who haven't met the 2 measures are those who are doing task 3 (Genetic Merit). Many people opted to use this measure and use a 5 star AI bull on 25% of their herd. The problem is that some of the AI men have not sent back the records of insemination to ICBF as yet and therefore there is no record of you having used this 5 star bull. To get over this, you need to go onto the ICBF website and input the AI codes for each of your cows. If you do this today, it is likely that you may get the payment before christmas!!

    If you want a small stocking filler, it might be worth your while to get on top of this!!

    An update on this - the information has to be submitted to ICBF by tuesday lunch time if you want to be paid in this round

    Thanks reilig for that. Even though my AI man uses the handheld computer icbf hasn't received any of the data. I got a call from gene ireland a few months back wondering if I was going to use the straws. The first one is due to calf in January!

    That ICBF website is continually improving. Just imputted this Spring's servings. Funnily enough the columns they have are pretty much the same as my home made excel.
