    Opened the curtains this am and there was a couple of cows grazing the lawn, black wire bringing power to.field they were in fell.or got.knocked off so a bit of fencing to be done, let out a pen of cattle in a field with a good measure of grass that i.decided is a little to strong to.leave for winter, that decision will be frowned apon i know but it will.save me 6 bales or maybe more(weather permitting), land here will not be grazed early anyway so i said id chance them

    If I wanted to milk 300 cows I suppose I could ask delaval for a job. Owning 300 cows is a different story altogether

    opened the pit today. its the next best thing to precision chopped hay. im hoping it gets a bit damper when i get in a block or two. the main issue i'll have is trying to stop the wind blowing it round the place.

    I opened the first bale of hay here a few days ago and its still pure green, lovely stuff and the cattle are mad for it. Some change from the scutter we had last year.

    if you had that stuff last year you be grinning from ear to ear, it'll fill them up very quick if uts very dry. I ooened a bale of first cut silage a month back because the cows had got at it and by god the smell off it was like honey it was so nice

    Only in now. I was just heading home as I thought at around five to six and I decided to check the water with a group of bull weanlings. As I went up through the pen I found one down. We had mixed 2 or three groups before the w'end and there had been the usual f'acting around for the first day or two and I thought they had settled. Took over an hour to get the little hoor out, the teleporter earned her keep tonight you can't beat a bit of reach. It wouldn't quite go down to the floor so a bitch of a job to roll him into the bucket.Brought him in for a quick wash and a few injections then out to a paddock. As usual the animal who can't rise between the pain and the trauma indoors is up like a flash and off grazing. He wouldn't even look at the bucket of water we got him despite trying to drink the sh1tty water in the bottom of the loader bucket before we brought him out. Hopefully he'll be ok but I'd say he won't see slats again

    my eldest lady went through a phase like that , at one stage had over €20k tied up & i paying her college and car etc, :mad:

    my youngest lad has about €4k worth of model tractors

    I would'nt give a damn so long as they stay away from drugs which were literally widespread in this area a few years ago,
