    They'll get trained into the place easily enough. Especially if bought as lambs hoggets or two year olds

    In between both so neither one would be a hassle. I'm only getting back into it from near a 10 year brake from it. From e & u grade bulls would you think there is more exporters present in mountrath?

    Mountrath I'd imagine so, if you get them in early enough, and if there are more there of similiar quality someone will ring somebody else;) and they'll be there alright, best of luck with them. Did you go in last night for a look?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    You should be able to get the windscreen done through insurance. Tint thing is a b*lls is the film on the front door windows? You should be able to go as dark as you like on the back glass.

    Use a needle to set and clean the jets after you have the washer bottle filled.

    Just after pulling a calf for a neighbour and have a springer here now calving aswell, doesn't look like she's going to do it herself either. Should never have bulled her, narrow middling type. Won't be long wearing out the jack at this rate :(

    woohoo, my 98 Pajero passed its DOE today. With the cost of the test and parts a total of €340 :D
    Also, does anyone know if you can have two commercial vehicles in your name for road tax/Revenue purposes?

    2.8 and way better than its little 2.5 sister ;)
    Someone told OH that you can only have one commercial vehicle registered in your name as a farmer.
    OH has his own jeep but I wanted to transfer mine into his name as I no longer have my own herd number, it has apparently lapsed due to the fact that his herd number now farms my land - if all of that make sense to you.

    Addendum - something to do with a tax clearance cert, which OH had but I do not.

    The only way you can prevent that is put a halter on them and tie the head down low so if she does fall she won't do any harm to herself
