    Sit them all down and hopefully get proposal agreed to sell land to nephew at reduced rate so that at least his own three children will have an inheritance and land will stay in family... Everyone's a winner, nephew can't be expecting the place for free either if he has three children of his own

    I know a nephew who ended up paying €6500/acre as a reduced rate in the past few months. Good few tax implications there for all sides, nephew, uncle and his children. Good impartial advice needed there.

    seriously Bob, what you and the "tradesman" get up is your own business...:p

    I know he's always over-sharing. I think he has attachment issues.;)

    Cows back out today, after spending the last few days indoors (the 'boss' got his way), bitterly cold but dry weather last day or so has done wonders for ground conditions!

    snow showers on and off here today, you wouldnt put your cat out in it... bitter... had a cow did the splits this morning, in my mind i am saying if they had been out she wouldnt have done that, but if they where out today i think they would die

    mechanic was here at half eight and replaced the relay that he should have replaced on friday, all going well so far

    was wondering how things panned out... ;) Glad you got it sorted whelan1. small things like that can be a big pain in the h*le, especially with a couple a hundred animals wanting their dinner!!

    Was thinking it had to be electrical rather than mechanical

    but sure you can say that about nearly every job if it goes wrong, fitting a gas fire aint rocket science, I just couldnt remove an old surround on the fire, as I have never done it before and didnt want to chip the marble background, he came couldnt remove it either and eventually I cut it off with the grind. Fooker managed to scratch the wood floor aswell. typical builder, cant do a clean tidy job

    Did anyone manage to get a valuation for their house off revenue.ie for the new property tax?

    I looked it up and it seems to have the same valuation for all rural areas around us which is €0k to €100k. Maybe it gives a proper valuation for urban areas?

    Hard Labour?... Definitely, and dangerous too, 90% of all workplace deaths in Ireland happen on Farms

    Stress Free?    ... No more or less than any other job, I'd say if you weren't ready for being out doors in all weathers or if you haddn't an affinity with your chosen animals - it would be a constant nightmare.

    Repetitive?... Nature has a cycle and farming has to follow it, but its not as bad as some production lines I've seen..

    Whats the money like?.. I could be smart and say its very like the Euro :rolleyes:. truthfully farming as a whole is a high capital low return business, large sums of money tied up in assets and stock for medocare returns. We have off farm jobs and farm on a small scale, but hour for hour I'd make more money stacking shelves in Tesco.... But I wouldnt be happy!
    Can't top that for a reply! Like most things, far away fields look green.
