Ok I'll putup a photo of a HO for a change from the usual nice big beef animals. 1st heifer calf born of a heifer cow here in many years. No problems calving (even if it was outside in the cold!), lively little calf up sucking without a bother when I spotted them thismorning. Decent ebi on her also, 220. The dam is a FLT with the granddam off a RUU, and great survivability of all the family in our herd. Most of the pure white HOs in our herd have not done great in the last few years, but I'd say that heifer will have no problems!

ive two similar looking heifers as your calf there calving in feb, smashing looking heifers. What does your father think of the calf?

Timmaay · 15-12-2013 11:07AM

He wasn't keen at all on the idea of giving heifers dairy straws last year, 1st few heifers who calved all had bulls and he was moaning that we should have stuck to the AAs, he said nothing at all this morning which is a good sign :P

I really can't understand why people don't like turbines. I think it's a beautiful and natural image to be able to look at from your front door. Better than a concrete jungle or a factory pumping smoke through a stack anyway!

I agree but they really shouldn't be near a house. I have land about 500 meters away from some of them and they are fairly loud and repetitive. The noise could drive you crazy if listening to it 24/7. I wouldn't like to live that close to them.

We have property that is no more than 500m away from them and you can never hear any noise from them. Ours is one of the closest properties to them in this area.

would it not be like living beside a busy road with a lot of traffic,you would get used to the noise in no time

bob charles · 16-12-2013 01:30PM

if you saw the lovely factory that is close to me, any reservations about turbines would soon be forgotten about

It does depend on the prevailing wind but there is a fairly constant whup noise from the ones near me when there is a SW wind. Its quite loud so much so that you'd hear it in the tractor over the noise of the engine when they are going flat out. I was talking to someone who works in this area and he suggested that not enough research has gone into the sound waves created and how the turbines should be situated not just to catch the wind but also to use the local topography to block these waves as much as possible. He works in maintenance all over Ireland and the UK and he said some of them are really way to loud while others are virtually silent.

The thing about traffic is that the noise varies whereas this noise would be so repetitive it would be like Chinese torture. I think the ones near me are perfect where they are but I wouldn't like to live to closer to them.

I don't have reservations about them but make sure they are situated to minimise effects on peoples homes.

I do sympathise with anyone living close to a dirty factory though.
