Lads have any of ye been to the royal highland show before? Half thought to go over this year and my sister is living in Edinburgh so it handy for a place to stay. Is it worth the trip over for the weekend?

Just passed the Ear to the Ground jeep in Tullyvin-Cavan. They were looking very lost.

Didn't bother stopping to see if they were OK as it didn't seem Ella was with them

Redz, i've been to the show a couple of times. I think its one of the best show as theyres plenty variety and most of it on a hard standing if its pissing. i prefer it to the Ploughing to make a weekend of it. Used to go with a gang of lads, but most of them couldn't be arsed with the show and headed for the beer tent the minute we got there. Its a good weekend for both the craic but if i was going with a bunch of lads make sure and get at least one full day at the show off the beer. Edinburgh is a great city for a sesh.

bogman_bass · 15-05-2013 04:26PM

went there once. Good show and esinburagh is a cracking city.

If you of the age, get a ticket for the young farmers ball. ment to be wild night altogether!

Im only a young lad all the time!!

was there twice, about 10 years ago. Overseas visitors can pay admission in advance and you get a rosette pass type of thing, and waltz straight in. well organized set-up, and lots of things of interest to the livestock farmer. You would need to book accommodation sharpish, as Edinburgh not a huge city, and you want to be walking distance of the Grass Market / Centre etc.

anyone else check their glanbia milk statement on line this morning, my milk price is totally wrong ... hopefully its a mistake not a pisstake

are you sure your not in the queue for the next available bale of hay:D, come to think of it that queue is probably longer than 12 vehicles.

was walking around the yard asleep this morning around 6 when I noticed a field of my heifers after knocking a gate and taking a walk off up the road past the house. needless to say they werent going very fast, it was a case of heads down and grazing the sides of the road.

30mm of rain forecast till sunday. yippee

no im in the mart queue to try avoid being in the queue for hay, with that much rain the few at home might have to graze the hard shoulder here too

hey lads a few weeks ago i asked a question about a farmer leaving a big mound of Dung in the field since the beginning of march beside my neighbours because he didnt get a chance to plough it in before he planted the crop, and that my neighbours house could be effected by the run off water from it, and definitely now a pond, now i know ye all said it would probably be sorted, and the poor man might not have had a chance to do anything with the weather, so i just taught i'd update ye all.

The good news is he has planted his Crop, around the now massive pile of dung in the field.

He needs a toe in the hole TBH. Legally he's probably ok but that sort of imposition on neighbours deserves trouble

Anyone up in the big smoke today sees a bunch of randomers in their sixties causing trouble in the area of the Dail just pm me. The oul boy and a bunch of his mates are on their school tour. The real trouble won't start until the stopover in Carlow on the way home though.

cow that got tetany yesterday was dead this morning, i think she might have been brain damaged....

Was wondering the other day would dual wheels be a good investment ?
It's like bog work round here now most of the time

May as well be equipped for it.

Sprayer put together but handlance is a nightmare, the boomless nozzle is the only thing that works right

Christ you couldn't have it broke already

Just put out my first granlime, didn't expect it to be as dusty, think I've inhaled half a bag anyway.

I think it's an excellent idea if it does what it says on the tin. Would avoid a lot of headaches and hopefully convince lads to stay with sucklers

Yep remember spreading it out last year and was surprised how dusty it was. How much is it a bag this year

9.25 or 9.50 a bag I can't exactly remember. I thought it would be just like 18.6.12, as in little to no dust. I was like a human smoke bomb with all the dust
