    Personally I wouldnt be fan of O'C but I do admire him for his charity work, unlike others who made it big here and then blew it overseas

    Terrible rain here earlier it will take at least 10 dry days before any attempt of getting out slurry :(

    Can't see any travelling on the land for 6 weeks.

    Brendan O'Carroll is a lot better than Brendan O'Connor anyway!!

    Not too bad of a week forecast so was hoping to spray off some stubbles, a quick walk around just now confirmed that won't happen.....

    waste of time doing them til they are about 7 days old... they are not born with it they meet it. Might be no harm to give them a second shot a week or 10 days later

    Few questions lads and lassies
    1. Would the lifeline pre Calver do the bull any harm, have a bucket in the creep he is in. The cows access the bucket from the slats also,
    2. Am working on the basis of 1 bale of silage to 15 cows, is that everyone else way of thinking,
    3. When people introduce straw to extend silage supplies do you feed the straw mixed with silage or separately

    I don't have a diet feeder but if I did that's a good way to feed it. Another way is roll out a bale along a feed passage and then put grabs of silage on top of the straw. It can be just left in a ring feeder too, needs to be good quality straw though.

    The only thing to watch out for is the magnesium in the pre-calver. If it is in the form of cal mag crystals may form in the bull's urine:eek:

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

    Does anyone have the exact email address to send soil sample results to johnstown castle for derogation reasons? I emailed them to the open email address @ the nitrates section but knowing them so well I would prefer to send it to exact section. At the top of the letter if gives a address for reply but doesnt give an email address. What century are these guys operating in.

    It rained all day yesterday and all night last night, you won't get near a field for 4 weeks here and that's assuming weather improves
