    Lads with a lot of talk nitrates etc i would have thought i would see lads looking for farmers who have capacity too take away surplus slurry, i have yet too see an ad for this?is this because it should not happen by law, or just because deals are being done with neighbours etc...

    I've just spent part of the day today sorting out my slurry imports for 2013. Once you are under the limits after the calculations are done then no problems.

    IFA: progress on Nitrates. Increased N & P limits & improved soiled water definition. Calendar farming still an issue.

    Rancher I got this text today. Do you have any further info?

    Arrgh why I bother sometimes! Went out to check the springers before bed at 12, heard the bull making a fuss in the 2nd yard, so went for a look, sure enough the maiden heifers were out roaming around the yard and a paddock beside it, their gate wide open (someone didn't tie it right obviously! I thankfully managed to get the bull and most the incalf heifers locked into their shed (only an electric fence holding them in), the maidens took alot more effort to get back in, they proceeded to flatten every bloody electric fence in the yard, as well as plough up the paddock (which is totally saturated with water), took me an hr to get them back in. Bed finally now.

    At least tis done now, if it was tomorrow morn twud have fecked up the days routine whereas it just made tonights jobs stretch a bit. Came across a cow down with milk fever on top of a scraper the other nite when checking a cow calving, spent from 2 to 3 sorting her but she was able to walk to the parlour in the morn, if I hadn't seen her till the morn I prob would have been pulling her out with the loader and looking for the shackles for her

    How would this happen. Me self and the girlfriend arguing over it here ha

    Can actually happen to humans too :eek:
    Basically the female releases an egg at ovulation as normal, it gets fertieised, then she releases another egg from the other ovary, a double ovulation, and the other baby/calf daddy sperm gets there, et voila, twins with different sires/da's. :D
