    It's been vacant for a few years so there mustn't have been candidates knocking down the door for the job. George will do a good job I'm sure.

    Surly there must be plenty of ag journalists who have the passion and understanding of farming rather than the man who liked nothing better than predicting car crash economic futures for Ireland before the bust.I can see his first piece will be on dairy expansion 2015 run for cover lads and lassies . Lol

    Because they want to use what they have to pay anyway rather than paying extra wages.

    Had forgotten how it slows you down the next morning !!

    Went out for a "few pints" last Saturday night, made it into the bed at half two was meant to be up half five, slept in half an hour but was only 15 mins late for the breakfast, must have still been drunk or I missed 80 cows!

    Hard to know. She's not blowing or anything ate straw and maybe a kg of calf's meal. I'll ring him again and see what he says. He lives 40 min away so has other calls to tend too aswell

    Still though.....he's a vet, you're the paying customer along with all the others.

    And god knows we pay enough for them.
