AI docket has an almost unreadable 08/05/2012 which shows the cow up on the pedigree society system as having brought over 6 weeks with her time. It was the only ai record that appeared on ICBF from AI company. The rest had to be entered manually for ICBF. Have to DNA test the bugger now!

Even if he has you have huge responsibility to ensure he is working safely, that all of his equipment is in proper order etc. You are the employer regardless what goes wrong or how it happens you will have some liability. I doubt very much if your insurance covers you for people who are working for you operating chainsaws on your property, I'd be checking that out with my insurance company before I allowed him to do anything.

It costs €38 for a private test, €30 for a deal for various cattle societys loike limo soc. or bb soc. etc. Weatherbys is the place alright vander. Can't remember the address but its in the Irish equine centre whatever the exact address of that is.
