    Ah sher bob dosent listen to anyone anyway so he dosent even know that someone is taking the piss.do ye really think a bit of slagging on boards would bother a beef finisher/cattle dealer.

    Sure all he could be finishing is a few pigeons on the windowsill of his ballmun flat for all we know.

    Sometimes works, but they are catching on to this.

    recently imported a grass meter from new Zealand, paid 23% on the marked value which was in NZ$, so my advise would be have the seller state the value on the customs declaration in €. At least if you are picked up by customs in the sorting office you will pay the correct duty.

    Out of curiosity how much nz did it cost you?

    I was wondering why the place looked deserted on my way to work this morning. You must have scared everyone off.

    What's the calf like JDI? I was going to use him on 2 heifers last month but AI man had none at the time.

    HCA is easy calving. I've used him on heifers before. It's the maternal influence last night. She'd a tight birth canal.

    Grand normal sized calf that was on his feet soon enough after calving. It's what he'll be like in 10 months time that counts!
