    The springers were out of our old stock bull we sold last year pak. He was by Genial. The calves are out of a young bull I bought last year, hes sarkley pepsi x ferry x ideal 23. Should be a few nice heifers there for breeding alright and I have another few nice ones out of the old bull. Should be no need to buy in any for next year anyway.

    Nothing wrong with that loader, Moy83! Clutch or Torque?

    Our front lawn had got completely out of control, so ran the big lawnmower over it yesterday morning!

    You would need a lowloader to bring plant for the kids to build sandcastles:D:D

    It'd be fairly well known ;) Someone put forward an idea that Greece should sell some of it's islands to pay for their debt. David McWilliams was on a radio programme and mentioned that beach as one of Irelands "assets", don't think knows what he'd be letting himself in for with the locals if he was serious mind :cool:

    The two of them had great plans on the way down, man sized hole in the beach, walls all around and fill it with sea water. They weren't long giving up once they found out water goes through sand, the plan went all to sh*te :pac:

    This is what happens when you give a 16 year old a power washer and has interest in what he is doing,While I was drawing in round bales.Even went off washing machinery after the slats,will definitely be getting him again,to do the small jobs for the next couple of Saturdays.

    No waste with the paddocks, a lot to be said for spending a few hours arsing with wire, stakes and troughs.

    I havent gone into the technical side of it yet hugo tbh, I only set them up the other day. Its getting strong for them now so I'll graze them there for another few days and bale the rest of it I think, have nice grass a bit up the road thats too rough to mow so want to graze that before it starts to go stemmy too. I will put a bag of can to the acre on whats grazed during the week.

    Iv no topper and ground conditions are good so I let them go as bare as possible, should thicken it up a bit.
