    That's for fasinex super. One i bought is fasinex 240. The guy i buy from is usually fairly competitive with prices. He told me it's flying off the shelves.

    I just checked that web site, I bought my Closamection for 10 euro cheaper in my Local Vet office

    How long do you guys normally wait post housing before dosing, Mine are in since 01st November and I intend to dose next week when I have a bit of help around although they were done after 5 weeks last year but thats because they were housed mid November last year

    4-5 weeks would be the usual. Let's everything develop to a stage where it can be easily killed.

    One of me ewes was on her back when I went out earlier - crows had pecked all around her eyes... I thought one eye was gone, but it seems to be still there, but the eyelid is all red and bloody and cut, bast'ard crows :mad: :mad: :mad:

    She's up and walking around, but is very blind, I must try to go up after work and bring her in, afraid she might get a chill tonight... :(

    Silage may be acidic an they are licking this as it is alkaline doesent actually do them any harm? (think rennies after eating too much)

    Are they spitting out cud balls at the front of the cubicals?

    a buddy of mine sold a very average blue by AZL...280-290kg E710 and he only got contacted by the mart to get vet to stamp form that he was going for export.. "export Quality" at E710? Seriously?!

    Are people still getting export certs?:confused: Cattle can be exported now with no certs and surely the vet clearing them for export would be doing the stamping. I last heard that Cyprus was the place for those style weans.

    some one told me yesterday that ginger cats are always male(toms) that there are no female ginger cats, find that hard to believe, does anyone know:confused:


    It's the tri-colour cats that are usually female, it's apparently quite rare to find a tri-Tom.

    Scanned today, 4 empty cows out of 50 and 1 heifer empty. Not too bad considering the year that's in it.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I never get certs,and it comes up on the mart board if the cattle are entitled to one. I though that the vets office was connected to the marts through the dept office
