    was registering calves last night, have an aa cow that calved in august 2011, june 2012 and april 2013:D great for the herd calving interval, pity she's 12 year old and this is her last calf, she left 10 calves....Normally use agfood to do movement permits as theres no room for error, but a guy was buying a bull and he has a restricted herd and thought it would be handier to just fax a permit... only problem was he wrote his herd number down wrong! Think i will only use agfood from now on , had to make a load of calls to dept and bandon, before , i rang the farmer and he told me the number was wrong

    maybe try ringing them again, in fairness if you leave your nember they normally ring back, only problem is you normally dont have the tag or credit card details to hand when they do.... was talking to a rare one in bandon this morning, i had phone on loudspeaker and my dad was laughing at what she was saying, rang back 5 minutes later and got a lovely lady:o

    nope, she didnt understand what the problem was, i explained nicely giving the error reference number , she was going on about bed and breakfast which had nothing to do with what i was asking, so i said i would ring dept, waited 5 minutes and rang back got a woman who knew what i was on about and sorted the problem

    People like to talk..
    If your focused, milk early and maybe late that evening you'd probably squeeze in more family stuff than those who talk about doing lots of stuff..

    Bad weather is the problem... but you could be up the M1, into the NAC aquazone for a few hours, grab some lunch in their snack bar and home to milk while the ones round the school gate are talking about stuff !!

    If the weather permits on Monday we plan to throw the bikes on the car and head to the Pheonix Park, maybe a picnic if the weather holds out..

    Yeh I'm trying to find a local chap, and give them afew hours on the farm and get them in the parlour eventually to do some relief milking. have afew 1/2 interested, who would know their stuff in fairness (sons of either a dairy farmer or livestock at the least). Just been too busy to get around to it properly, summertime when the milking is easier is certainly the time to do it.

    Don't go near the place on a bank holiday particularly if the weather is good. The crowds are crazy! It'd much more enjoyable if it's quieter

    First thing in the morning is the best time to go there as the animals are hungry and active .
    Nothin worse than trying to see them when their lying off with a full belly

    What ever day ya go, be there before the place opens, that way you're always ahead of the crowds so get to see and enjoy what you went there for.
