    Nope.. I had 3 calls in the last two weeks offering me interviews for a few positions so I started to have a nosey around to see what else was out there, thats how I saw it..

    Actually in one day one lady rang me 9 times and sent two emails to get in contact with me about a position she has open...

    The market seems to be picking up quite a bit..

    Im not looking for a change at the moment. Sods law will dictate that when I do fancy a
    Change there'll be nothing that grabs me.

    ooooh it's chilly out there this morning.
    Anyone else notice a lot of holly berries appearing this year or is it just around here that there's a plethora of them.

    Have to get the calving camera up this evening. One of the cat5 wires and the POE box burned out due to dampness (my own fault). Got the replacements on Friday but just didn't get around to putting it all up again. Away today and springer in shed. She's being watched but it doesn't take long to being hooked on the camera. At least I won't be checking my phone during today's meeting!

    Yes I've someone to check progress and if there is any difficult there is always the vet.

    In calf to HCA.

    In reality they're bred and managed so as it give no issue. At worst I'm only away 30% of the week and they generally don't calf during those hours anyway. (I hope I haven't just jinxed myself!)

    Looked at a springer last Saturday around noon. Decided, definitely will not calf for a day or two. Fecked off to the u21 match in Thurles. Got stuck in traffic. Missed first half. Match over, decided to check calfing shed on my phone. Calf standing, and sucking:D Copuldn't believe it. She hadn't even slightest slack in the bones few hours previously:confused:
