You would think things wouldn't get much worse when this happens but then I got home and had a cow and a heifer with mastitis , thats the joys of milky cows I suppose

Why edit it? It's in the public domain at an event attended by 180k already! Surely albert de cogan's name also now needs to be wiped from all posts:rolleyes:

I think it's in the Charter for FF that no numbers be displayed.

Used Dovea Shorthorn Crega Dice a few years ago, on a right powerful white char cow. Got twins.
Two lovely yellowish speckled coloured calves. Bull and heifer!! Didn't get to breed her unfortunately.
Sold the heifer as a calf. The bull paid just as much as his herd mates, which were Charolais from char X cows.
Planning on using him again next spring on another char cow in hope of a heifer. -;)

Re the phone number and other details now obscured in the photo above, I think we'd be okay with leaving that on view.
After all, the person involved has made those details publicly available themselves.

The prohibition on that sort of thing in the charter, and particularly on personal details in the text of posts, is to protect private individuals (both posters here and others) from spammers and other such nefarious characters who 'scrape' websites for contact details to aid them in their endeavours.

Black with people there yesterday, seemed like Wednesday was the right day to go, we left before the infamous "shower" that had people running for their cars too, so not too bad.

vanderbadger · 26-09-2013 08:34AM

anyone else think the cattle displays were poor compared with years gone by?

Thought the Limousin was back on other years, but the number of different breeds was very good. Compare to the sheep all squashed into one tunnel, seems only shearing sheep is interesting part of sheep! Thought the sheep ireland stand was very poor, back end of the tunnel hidden away why not out front where everyone walking past?

Looking at that photo of the crowd made my mind up to stay at home ,esp as it was raining when I looked out this morning, the people on the phones are probably saying where are you, even though the person they are calling is 3 feet away

Completely agree about the sheep, there's a load could have been seen/done there but just a handful of stands in one small tunnel was a poor show.

I was disappointed in SI as well, was speaking to them about a couple of things and the disinterest was poorly hidden. Are they serious about improving breeds or just a paycheck to be collected.

On the positive side had great conversations with one or two stands in the tunnel.

It was grand early on, but from 10am onwards it started getting mobbed. We stopped using the walkways and were using rat runs behind the tents/stands to navigate the place, worked well.

blue men are only interested in the dairy man now for their bulls,and want too supply uncle larry with more cheap beef,a total disgrace as the blue is top of the class this year in the right marts with shippers,lim stand had weanlings suitable for shipping and bb stand were suitable for factory,the pt stands cows well shall we say were starved,have a look in the year book at pics of what they had come from,they did not stop eating the bed from under them for a couple of hours after been unloaded:D:D (joke)
