    When you go to create a new post look at the icon's above where you are writing. The paperclip icon is for attachments, when you click it a window will open and then choose the file to upload from your computer.

    Jaysus, since I was last here there's been a lot going on!
    Both good and bad news from the look (read) of things:(

    I spent New years Eve/Day in hospital so I can side with the bad stories.
    On the plus side, weather is clear enough here today although I still wouldn't dare walk in any of the fields yet.

    Sorry to hear it Kuvo, I hope the tide turns for you this year.

    Do you not have a smartphone? I thought everyone your age had one

    My age! Cheek:eek: I haven't even reached the quarter century yet (just)

    I have a blackberry but don't use it for much other than email and texting.
    I'm back to myself again now.....I think.
    Raging at the nurses though, had a canula in one arm so they were taking blood from the other and one day they came 4 separate times to take blood from me, why couldn't they do it all at once!:confused:

    Edit- Oh and since I hadn't read anything since Dec 23rd, I had a LOT of catching up to do!
    Regarding the testing, it's only female animals that need to be blooded in your herd if you want to sell them within the 60 days. Dealers can sell next day from a purchase if they like.

    And as for the videos, sure don't I backflip like that at work every week in the passageways :D

    Had a cow who could reach up and grab with her mouth the string for the feeder in the parlour and pull her own nuts! Drove us mental, ended up covering all the ropes to stop it. Some of them Holsteins have plenty of brains also ha!

    Cows will always learn fast when it has to do with their bellies.

    Have heard that brown swiss cows are really clever.

    Was on a friends farm today and they have a jcb 3c one of the first ones. They have a shear grab mounted on the front bucket and can hitch off in a matter af seconds. They cut out two holes in the back of bucket near top and have welded on two pieces of heavy flat like an upside down L that hook into it and the a hole drilled on bottom of bucket and a bar through a bushing and into it and that keeps it from tilting. Also has a set of forks for same

    i didnt watch it but i get a horrible feeling about any of these videos, god help her after it was posted, she was obviously drunk at the time, no need to publicise it for the world to see, i am sure she will regret it every day for the rest of her life.... also i am sure we have all done things in our younger days that we are not proud of and thank god no one was videoing them
