When you say stunted do you reckon they will come good with feeding and time or will they never get up to a good size?

Nope, never return. three were equally matched size wise, presuming they are the 4-12 calves, they were about the same size as some 3-13 calves I have at home and I thought mine could have been a bit better !

there was a big sale in my local mart on Friday, wasnt there but reports from lads say anything over 350kg is flying, plain stock back a good bit

CH top seller, good quality BB going well, plain BB waste of time , LM struggling to get up to the mark

Same in that Ch were the only gig in town.. ~€2.5/kg was tops paid from what I saw in heifers.. I wouldn't think its enough to make much profit !
Didn't have time to check out bulls but I heard after about 1/4 didnt sell.

I was in South Korea recently.

I have a picture of a Tym 503 t with a foreloader and a bucket, price was 36,000,000 won about €24k, also I got a picture of the economy model, I don't think it would last long here.

I can't work out how to embed the pic on here but heres the link to my skydrive.

Can you use imageshack or something? Skydrive appears to be private.

there are only 8 and 9 bedrooms in either of the houses. Im looking for something a bit bigger than that. I hit the "make and enquiry" button just incase they are letting it off at handy money.

Actually im completely gone off it, as it doesnt mention that there are any slatted sheds and cattle yards coming with it. I could lease the grass land to one of you grass maniacs milking, with the stipulation that you dont winter the cows outside in any sight line of one of the houses

Oh to be IFA leader do you have to live in Ireland, I know they can live on the moon

right, was talking to a lad who was at the weanling sale on Friday, there was bull calves going through at over 500kg weight making 1400 euro,
how much meal is in one of them boys, he reckons heifer calves are as good a trade as bulls, with the CH heifer between 100 and 200 above its nearest rival

tell him the black eye is from last week where you met someone about a job and they did not offer you the financial package you wanted,

tell him you came out best

seriously best of luck with it, dont give up on college to easily,

Kovu · 16-09-2013 04:20PM

I know. They know I am in college cause I told them I would either take the job if it was offered or go to college.
It's not ideal, but I guess I'll go see what they have to offer.

If I go awol, you all know where I went:D
