Funny you should say that I was in a Glanbia branch one day last week and it reminded of nothing so much as a builders suppliers circa 2006. A real bustle around the place. There's a petrol station, shop and the guy with the petrol has started doing agri spares. If we get the lift in output the govt expects post 2015 it might start to make a difference nationally despite it being dismissed by many economists as "only a small percentage". The percentage keeps getting bigger though as many other parts of the economy disaapear up their own fundaments. It ain't gonna be the salvation of the place but it can't hurt.

I did study Economics years ago but left it all behind me so this isn't based on any keynesian theory but I agree with what you are saying. Small and medium enterprises are really undervalued in the recovery I think. This low level spending (low in the grand scheme of things) is always helpful within a small community. If everyones holding on to their money then nobody benefits. If the flow of money is growing then those business's and consumers will eventually benefit. Also the tax on these transactions in beneficial to the government coffers. What they do with it thereafter is where my positivity ends.

Well I am currently in an Iraqi oilfield so nothing much opening here but if you're interested in setting up a little coop I'll send you on the maps!

I'd fully support tax breaks / incentives for start ups, even up to 5 years. If you pass through some areas of england you'll see the absolute desolation of some the Main Streets/High Streets there, it's not something we should permit to spread to Ireland.

Would it be MLJ? I've a few calves off him and he really does breed great calves. Not available at the moment though.

I'm not sure how lads would react to having their head in the head gate

redzerologhlen · 16-08-2013 07:11PM

2 2 year old Lim x sim breeding heifers. Were out of 2 old cows which calved late and thats why they arent calving as 2 year olds.

cf61 heifer on the left and parati heifer on the right. Belong to the girlfriends father. Cf61 heifer is a smasher, I asked him a few times if he'd sell her but he isint having any of it :rolleyes:

I am pretty disappointed in the calf to be honest. hes squaring up a bit but i dont think he will be anything special.

Also has ayone used the new Limousin bulls in NCBC, TVR, EFZ or GWO. Would liek to see pics of any calves.

Anything limo here will be sticking with the stock bull, hes throwing better calves than a lot of the ai ones i tried. Ai i will be putting on more blues and parts and i might try a few shorthorn or blondes on the heifers.

Handy system you've going there. There's a blue barrel knocking around the place here that has just been earmarked for a new job

.

What's the plan with the yearlings blue?

No, where they are is bare ok, but I move them to a fresh block about every day or two. I set up the fence for the next block while they eat the meal. They were moved to a new block just after they finished the meal.

Going on the hook, starting in about 4wks, in a bit of a catch 22, some of them will be over 16mths, and are not fat enough now to get the QA on the grid bonus.....

It's funny he's by HCA out of a heifer and he's developed a nice bit of shape and plenty muscle. However the picture doesn't do the mop of hair on his head justice. It has been annoying me for the last few weeks as it really catches the eye and distracts the eye from the fact he's a decent weanling bull. And then I saw the suggestion to trim head hair....

Sure look it it didn't cost me anything and probably won't make any difference to his price, but at least now it won't be a distraction for any would be buyer.
