    When you think about it most parnerships need someone like that really in them . I've seen alot of them fail when lads are too cute with each other too

    What you mean is you need one lad to put the saddle on himself so the other can ride him stupid

    Anyone have any expierience with this stuff for sheep and cattle .??

    Got 1.5 litre of it today .
    Very cheap so i not sure was it a waste of money or what its going to be like..

    Its an ivermectin injection

    Ya have used it in cattle, worked fine. As someone said above it has a fairly long withdrawal period for cattle. Was it somewhere around 100yoyo for 1.5 L?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I know nothing about machinery sales, but went to 2 marts in the last few days, and barely found a parking space , reckon over 50% were on lookers

    For some of the older generation it is their day out so that is fair enough.

    I am not a fan of going either unless trading but don't like bidding on the first day back at it for a while. Don't forget there will always be disappointed buyers too!

    On funerals, if you don't go to your neighbours and friends who will go to yours.

    Congrats naughto on the new arrival.

    Congratulations. How many is that now? They're not safe until they're safe no matter how well the pregnancy goes. It's always a relief to have them both strapped into the car on the way home which TBH is probably the most danger they've been in for the previous few days :rolleyes: but they're coming home and that's the relief:).

    spoke with someone a while back and they said they go by the motto if they have ever been in someones house they will go to their funeral.Narrows it down a bit

    Did he give a reason why it had to be traceable or did he just say "it's in my book so it is"

    no one did. Your mans father pushed it up to that. I thought it was a bad cookie when i seen that


    That was the amount they have managed to organise on a new finance package from another bank. Steer clear IMO. They're trying to get themselves back together, probabaly had the (celtic) tiger by the tail and got burned on property somewhere along the line. Fair dues to them for trying to keep what they have they won't be the only ones looking to re-finanace between now and 2020.

    At the last BTAP meeting a few of the lads had inspections and were asked about any spraying they had done and if they had done it themselves. Apparently you need a calibration report for your sprayer before you do any spraying. Has anyone here have an inspection where they were asked for a calibration report for the sprayer?
