    Like I was told at the weekend by a young one " I know you are farmers, but ye must have awful sad life's if that's all ye have to talk about when your out". That shut me up about farming for the night any way ha

    shabby workmanship Ted

    Doolin just looks like its after a serious christmas :D, any damage further on up or down the clare coast?

    Jokes aside thats serious damage, how high was the water in Kilkee on the waterfront. I heard locally that this mornings high tide was the highest ever recorded and was over 50cm than the previous record for the shannon:eek:. Its absolutely milling down here at the moment ontop of allot of surface water already about the place. There will be problems

    Not at all! Sure isn't fermented whale a delicacy in Alaska;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,343 ✭✭✭bob charles


    Im not sure if this picture is just of a woman driver parking, or if its storm damage :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 998 ✭✭✭Damo810



    That whale must have been at the grandmothers for Christmas dinner :D

    I think it was around 5.5 meters lastnight which would be normal enough for a spring tide. It flooded out along the road by the pier in Bally I heard, have seen that happen several times before though. New quay is meant to have got a bit of a battering aswell. Didnt hear any reports of anything further south than Lahinch.

    That's the pier in Cleggan. The ferry for Inishbofin docks there, likely belongs to someone out on the island. Though, to be fair, there are no shortage of headcase drivers around there either.

    Anyone use the Culard Charolais bull Tonga (TGA)? Lovely heifer calf at 285 days off a Lim cow, unassisted. The calf is a fortnight old now an a powerful calf.

    What are the differences between culard and normal charlaois ?

    They would have been selected as carriers of "the double muscle gene". So they're a more muscled Charolais.

    The Charolais society wont register crosses of Culard bulls and Charolais bulls.
