    Just heard that 21 animals were stolen near Shercock/Ballybay from an out farm. Apparently the robbers left 30 odd animals behind.

    Utter war is goin on between the neighbours down here. Two beef/sheep lads had 110 acres leased off a neighbour. One man has only 25 acres and sheep around the house and had half this 110 acres leased. Now he has none and he has over 150 ewes and only reseeded his part this year and last year. Seemingly my neighbour, dairy farmer, has taken it all from under them. And ge is going to knock a hole in the ditch if another piece of ground he grabbed and walk cows to it.

    He wont get any luck for doing that

    they had it on a 5 year leases for the last 15 yes i think. The women that owns it, her son came back from were ever he was and went to my neighbour and offered it too him with out asking the lads that were currently on it did they still want it. The two lads that had it were paying 180 and my neighbour got it for 206. Very bad form now tbh. And the lad with the sheep is caring for his mother and younger sister.

    All he needs now is a bad milk price. And he's also after buying 25 ac of another neighbour. I dont know how he is going to do it. Up 135 ac in one year? Ye would want 200 cows to be paying for it and he hasnt the colour of that
