    Handy enough little heifer calf in all honesty but shes alive anyway, amazing considering the night we had. Cant see the calves being too big with us this year, the cows are only eating to keep themselves warm since December. No let up in this sh1tty weather at all. Hopefully the springer will hold out for the night but her dug is bursting and her baren is hanging off her.

    Different parts of the country I suppose, those are the terms I was brought up with anyway and everyone else around seems to use them. No more than if you were talking to someone from Mayo/Sligo/Roscommon they would be talking about some buck they knew. Never heard anyone called a buck around here.

    The baren (or as we would pronounce it bearings) I know fine well, but I never heard of a dug? Is it the elder?

    Around us a dug would be something fairly poor, or crocked, or big/heavy or crude. You'd call it an oul dug of a yoke:)

    We have very weird ones in Leitrim:D I never notice it until I'm with my other half as he's not Irish and it's baffling for him to understand me!

    Buck, gosan, agraith.....all our terms for people. When a cow is flagging or leaping, bottles instead of teats/tits. Lots more too but I'd only confuse ye:P

    Howya GSD, would you leave then out or put them in a shed for a few days? I'm only a few miles from ya and If I left them out I'd be picking them up the following day in the digger bucket.

    Always leave them out, I headed them down towards a more sheltered spot with plenty of bushes after I took the pic. Never had a problem really once they have sucked.

    Hedge cutter is immaculate. New set of flails and she would be same as the day she was bought

    cant see the picture anymore for some reason but thhe landinis are going for anything from 10000 to 15000 from garages without loaders.
    the hedgecutter could be around 3000-4000 at a guess. These are mostly off the top of my head now so i could be way off too

    dont know hedgecutters that well but they can be a mine field when buying as just to balance the head can cost upto 500 euro so the resale can sometimes be bad as lads are afraid of hidden demons

    I'd gladly sell it to fund a cow roads or slurry tanks but its there now so might as well keep her. Only costs us the diesel
