    Autumn calving started here, YLG bull off a DEU cow 7 days early, both grand out thank god, calf would have made a smashing heifer but once all healthy can't complain. RDU (in calf to AXN) and FLT (incalf to DGY) heifers springing up nicely due in 10 and 19 days respectively but wouldn't be surprised to see em earlier, gestation lengths are shortening consistently with bulls these days

    Having a few yummy pints now. Ballinasloe is the place to be tonight if your a horse or cattle man :-)

    Was there today for a few hours. My 3 year old kept saying "look at the lovely dresses on those girls" every time we passed a group of traveller girls dressed in their luminous clothes. At one stage she shouted out "look, that girl has no dress on" to one that was scantaly clad. :D

    Thought it was poor enough though. It was country fair day which in the past was supposed to bring the local country people into the town. There weren't any local stalls other than the substance misuse stall. Heard that the shops in the town were told that if they wanted to put a food or market stall outside the door of their shop then they would have to pay big bucks. Thought it was a bit much of an ask when they already pay rates. Most of the stalls were selling cheap chinese junk!

    Not many horses sold either. I'd say if a man wanted a horse and went in there early on monday morning he'd have a good choice out of the abandoned ones ;)

    Nights are the best there from what I remember years ago. Plenty of craic there toningt I'd imagine!

    Farmers talking rugby, Jaysus

    Was out at a local GAA match down the road this evening, didn't have to listen to too many gob****e's telling me about how they can't get tenets for the apartment in Spain, was instead listening to gob****es taking about the budget. Stopped for a pint on the way home. Didn't even know the lads from D4 were taking on the boys from C4. If I have hear another person drone about BOD and gatland I think I'll punch them

    What's even unusual nevermind to say worthy of comment about farmers talking rugby. There was at least 2 farmers and the son of one Teagasc advisor playing in that game tonight. Plenty of rural GAA teams would have less of an agri presence. My GAA club is playing a county final next week, rural club and I think there's one farmer starting and one other on the panel.

    I'm looking at a Matbro Telerame - Late 90's I think; anyone have one of these knocking about? Will be used for stacking and throwing out bales and shifting manure mostly + any other minor lift and shift jobs that come up.
