    There was adds on tg4 for cydectin a few weeks ago, said it covers cattle for around 100 days (can't remember exactly). Can't remember the adds from the journal.

    actually I think that includes meat slaughtered here and exported abroad.

    Ya, I'm wrong, it's time between admin of product and slaughter for export.

    Here is a pic of one. If your handy with a welder you can make them up in different sizes to suit younger cattle. We used to cover the ring with foam used to insulate water pipes and wrap it with silage or insulation tape.

    Jesus I wouldn't use one of those to hold a cow for calving. At least you can cut a rope if she went down:eek:

    Use a rope attached to the loop on the ring - can be cut if required.
    We used them the odd time if you had to jack a "temperamental" cow. Rope halters get tight and cut into their heads - far more difficult to remove.

    Didn't think about using a bit of rope, that's a good way of doing it. Kinda like when tying up a horse, using a strong string which can break if he rears.

    We normally used them for halter training cattle for showing.

    Got savage small square hay today off a man from Offaly who delivers to Galway & Mayo anyway. The stuff at the Mart in Maam Cross pales in comparison. We were comparing the bales today, there is at least two bales of the Maam Cross hay in the bales we got today. Was nearly busted putting them in the shed.

    Anyone looking for hay let me know and I can pass on his number - have no vested interest just a happy customer.

    I like hardship. I use a normal rope :P Recall getting dragged by a heifer across a field after she wouldn't stop and I wouldn't let get go. Eventually bribed her with nuts in my pocket in the ring. Fun times!

    Does it go against all the trend that I got the best price ever for my weanlings today?

    Sold 7 bulls and 4 heifers. Bulls 360kg made 1040 1080, 1060 for the best. All the rest of similar weight were over 950. All were 11 to 12 months.

    Heifers of similar weight 980, 985 960 and 920.

    It really paid to keep them over the winter. It's the one year that we didn't feed a lot of meal either. They got no more than 60 each.

    With all the negative stuff out there i'm really happy with those prices. There's great buying for quality young animals. Plenty of 24 month old animals in the Mart today much heavier that only made the same money. The demand is for young animals that can be finished at under 30 months.

    Great to hear reilig. Have two for Tullamore on Thursday myself. Two FR at about 24 months and about 550kg in weight

    What brand of camera did you get. are you far from the farm. I will have to do some research soon as my fiance will be moving over to me and we are 5 miles from the farm. he has no internet at his farm or his parents house but i have wifi here.
    Would love to have cameras set up for next winter so he wont be over and back all night every night

    Just in the door from a course in CPC in the local community centre. Very, very worthwhile. Covered chest compressions, use of the de-fibrillater, and also choking in adults and children.

    Were you doing it for the bus or the lorry? We never covered that in the bus ones

    Moy83 - I suggest a "Big Jim" to assist when you are calving.
    Big Jim's are regularly used when training show cattle.

    Are they the steel hoop and chain type training halters?

    We do them courses for years through work. It's no load to carry. The only thing I will is it amazes me each time I do them how they change. I'm in a constant state of bewilderment having been told different things over the years.

    Think I will have to take delavals advice from last year and put a ring in her nose.

    Let out a young bull there last Saturday after ringing him. He was a bit restless and went sniffing the top electric strand. BANG! You could see the sparks when the ring tipped it.
