One of the fendts is only runnig a grubber or harrow of some sort.

    To be honest i find that last bit to be quite distasteful in light of the unfortunate incidents that have happened not just in wicklow but country wide over the last couple of months.
    I wont even bother on the first bit

    It's your prerogative to find anything you want distasteful, but don't go reading something into my post that isn't there.

    I'm not trying to put words in any ones mouth, or tryin to read something into something thats not there, i know full well it was intended as a joke, a joke that was quite obviously pointed at the recent abuse of horses, for why else would they have reason to be nervous in wicklow.

    I was simply stating that in my opinion, which I'm every bit as entitled to have as any of ye, was that it was distasteful. I also fail to see how the post had any relevance to mine other than to make the joke about wicklow. As was said earlier this is my prerogative on the post, yours may be different and thats fair enough,

    The 4 suckler cows behind the Trooper worked out the finest.
    No doubt some disappointment awaits, be it weight or grade.

    Mine are over the 6 months tho

    It will still work. Your vet can get it for you, 1kg bag or 4x1kg bags in a box or if you have a lot of animals to treat you can get a 25kg bag if you know someone with a pig number and it works out a lot cheaper
    Word of caution: if you get an inspection and they see that you have used it in the remedies section make sure you tell them that you measured and administered it INDIVIDUALLY to each animal.

    A foal with a rotton cold sneezed on me the other day. I had a terrible hangover and nearly gagged. It was rotton. A neighbour was once dosing heifers with an old dosing bottle and whatever way the heifer moved her head he managed to tip half the dose down his own throat.

    Hospital!! The man is so contrary he wouldn't go to one if his leg fell off. He just carried on and then went home and had the tea. Didn't knock a step out of him. His wife didn't sleep for a week with the worry.

    I know some of you aren't too fond of them, but Teagasc have uploaded a good few videos from a recent conference, soem decent info in them. One thing that stood out was, there are more farmers over 85 than there are under 35 :eek:

    That's some statistic about the age profile of farmers

    I'd say its slightly skewed though. Running multiple herds out of one yard brings a lot of hassle. So there's probably a lot of lads under the age of 35 that are farming with their parents and don't have their own herd number.

    I'm pretty sure the statistics would leave them out even though they could be doing most or all the farming.
