    Any one read in the journal the cost of keeping a cow for a year - circa 700 euro. I have been too a few marts recently and the amount of poor stock out there is shocking. I know this year has been exceptionally though, but regardless alot of the weanlings for sale just lacked any quality. 13-14 month old, weighing less than 350 and realising 600 -700 euro. These Lads would be better off with less numbers and more quality. Really and truely how many suckler farmers are even breaking even on their sales?

    Think they kept adding and adding and multiplying. No farmer could keep going at that.

    The costings on keeping a stock bull left some food for thought.... the price you pay for him in the ring isn't all he's going to cost you!

    I have a small field on its own away from the home farm and it is white in daisy's, any suggestions why this may be? Lack of lime/potash?

    On my wedding morning my father called and took me aside and hie advice was........'when you move into your house after 'moon you will be presented with a list of jobs like shelves, hang pics, curtain poles etc., he told me never to finish that page as you will be presented with another page immediatly' I thank fully followed his advice and never get asked to do such jobs.

    All the best no need to be nervous you will not regret it and it is a great day.

    I would be nervous aswell, I sh*t myself even thinking about having to get married.

    Best of luck, you will have to cut down your online presents as you will be busy doing jobs as Delaval set out.
