Could only dream of a field like that one! Bull won't be too happy I presume!

Is that an MF65? How do you find it? Probably worth more now than what you paid for it? Great pics, by the way.

No its a 1994 mf 390 , bought it new then with the shuttle gear box there is only 2600 hours genuine up on it . still has its original tyres

, it has never giving a days trouble then again it was never left out a night and regularly serviced.

pakalasa · 23-08-2013 09:37PM

I meant an MF365. It looks a bit smaller than a 390 in the photo.

when their selling:rolleyes:, the opposite is the case around, loads of lads turn up to buy and only a few animals. so 6 fellows may go hammer and tongs at each other for only 3 cows:D. one mart I use could be as low as a dozen strong cattle during off peak times

Mods can I suggest something about image search?

Only realised that they can be reverse searched and people's profiles found.

Or at least put yer profile on private!

We've added this to the Personal Information & Privacy section of the Charter:

Posting the same image on multiple sites:
Many Internet search tools facilitate 'image search', whereby you can input the URL of an image and the tool will search for that image throughout the Internet.
If you post the same image here AND elsewhere, it's possible for curious minds to link information from multiple sites and perhaps accumulate knowledge you'd prefer they didn't have; your username on other forums, for example, or even your real name and other personal data from social networking sites.
Just something to be aware of, and it's a good idea to regularly check the privacy settings of your social networking sites too.

There's not much else we mods can do, we have no control over what people post elsewhere. It's up to people to police themselves on this one.

Dogs out keeping an eye on the stock yesterday morning, nice bbx heifer behind, twin to a bull and its a pity because you can lay up against her in the field to chat someone, will be sorry to see her go in the next 6-7 wks...

Second pic BB (Gitan) x PB Sim cow, 17 ,months old, will get angus AI in 2 months, on second heat this weekend. quiet as a lamb normally but mad head on her when in heat which is handy...

Midlandsman80 · 25-08-2013 10:54AM

Yep, both Dobes, dog in front is 8, bitch behind it 20 months old, both imports, not many goods one here, I don't like the "English type", much lighter in the body and muzzle, prefer Euro standard, strong head, deep chest.

But why the docked ears

had not got the the deposit in the breeders bank before the day they were done and she could not hold out as she was travelling to get them done. If the bitches mother was younger id have possibly waited for her next litter but I had first choice on this lot and she is a smashing pup so I took her, caring for and maintaining cropped ears is a job in itself so it wasn't ideal...

At least you would have preferred them uncropped!:)

hope this works

Went to try and book myself in but they wouldn't take me:pac: Took a few pics while having a look around the National Stud there yesterday.

He was a savage sixed foal when he was born and they broke him in 15min. I think the tour guide said he's over €60,000 a service now :eek: They film and picture 'the deed' just to prove it to the owners:pac:

Apparently majority of mares foal at night, 97 out of 100 mares this year foaled at night. Also they'II carry extra days if the weather ain't good. Twas interesting stuff to listen to even though I wouldn't have a clue about horses.

One of the reseeded paddocks

This was a typical gate on the stallion paddocks. Thought they'd be a great job also for limo heifers! :pac:

All the straw bales stacked up for the stable bedding
