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..

We do the same with just burned oil. We use an air blow gun similar to the one with the red pot in the pic below and it works a treat. can spray the slurry tanker from head to toe in 10 minutes!

ye i use the one with the red can. Spray every machine here. Fert spinner is 12 yr old and looks as fresh as the day it was bought. Replaced all the veins on it 5yr ago and no bother other than that

Worth buying 20 or 30 and rearing if you had the milk records for the herds. Surly in 2015 heifers will be worth a few euro

Just got a glimpse of real life through the kids.

The oldest is flat out spraying on the carpet and asked his brother could he rent a field (another area) from him. The younger replied no bother pay once a month and I'll stay on the couch and watch the match.

I wonder which one will go further??
