It's tough stuff to handle, but thinking about furze, isn't the smell of them in bloom lovely, sort of a coconut smell off them.

On a completely unrelated matter make sure you check up on ye're tax free allowances. Revenue have dropped the home carers allowance so that you have to apply for it again (either use paye anytime or ring them) and also the credits for the health care cover seem to be only given for the adults only. You have to send them in a copy of the invoice and they will update your credits if you have kids covered.

What's your dry cow routine like coming up to calving, a cow going down that quick after calving smacks of a unbalanced diet/lack of minerals, our is she just a older lady

If it were only that simple, it's hereditary, no matter how well managed if history of it you''ll have odd case. If we all recorded cases with ICBF would help a lot and ain't claiming to be perfect on that front myself although have been better at it last couple of years.

Don't be so rude.

The thread was deleted because it's a fcukin mess!!

Insults flying all over the place and generally descended into mayhem.

We also wonder why some people bother to create such work for us!

The thread is unapproved because it needs loads of modding / snipping done to it. This will take an age to sift through. Mod's don't get paid for what they do, yet some people think it's fair to make a big mess, expect others to clean it up, and then give out about it not being available.

Cop on just a little bit!

The thread might go back up if it can be cleaned up, but should we even bother?

I was never on that thread but I seems to be happening on many lately. Can the messers be gotten rid of and save you the hardship. This is the second thread this week onF&F to be removed because of stupidity

Look fair play to mods for giving up their own time but sometimes I feel there is an over eagerness to jump in and delete something or try and make everything neat and inoffensive. Some of the threads just need to be let off the hook a bit more. Just my opinion

I thought that thread was great craic. I read it all three times and still couldn't understand most of what was being written.

I'm sure of one thing tho, I'm selling all the sucklers next week and planting the whole place with beet asap. I'm going to make a fortune selling it;)

The trick is to sell it to your beef enterprise at a loss and then your profit from beef will increased.

I told you to fire some petrol and a match into it. anyday I told you day one not to do what you were going to do.

Yeah, but have you factored in the opportunity cost of not selling it to the beef enterprise because I own my land and may or may not have an opportunity cost.

Maybe I'd be better off keeping half the beet for my own beef enterprise and selling the rest to a dairy farmer down the road who owns one farm with a huge opportunity cost and rents another farm with no opportunity cost.

Would sheep be better than beet?
