    Don't understand ye there

    The OPW has carried out arterial drainage works up and down the country traditionally. They now operate a maintenance schedule, on which your river could be part of.
    There are also other vested interests of which you would need to acquaint yourself prior to any instream works.

    In Wexford. I'll have a look into that. That river is eating away the field and is full to the brim with gravel.
    Brilliant stuff to make concrete with

    You need to be very careful and not remove gravel from certain rivers. You could wind up with a lot of bother!

    They are but have easyfix rubber mats on them. Would you believe I had a chat with the ai man this morning about timing. From my experience of the 6-24hrs recommended window, you're better off closer to 24hrs. AI man's advice: closer to 6hrs for heifers as they are tricky to AI the longer you leave them. Closer to 24hrs for cows.

    I was just wondering do the snipped boys be quicker to mount than the real bull ? Ours would be at least 12 hrs after standing before they would get ai

    I mostly upload direct from the phone or laptop, means having to click on images but I got fed up with PB............ Uhm that said I used that flickr yoke a couple of times, but forget now what it's like.

    load straight to the laptop from the camera, then attach to the post using the "manage attachments" box down below the reply box. If that makes sense?

    The old lad had a tip with the back wheel of the tractor , for once the cubicles were handy because the cattle were in there instead of out on the slats !
