    Just once, a calf that had to be sectioned so can't really use him as a comparison. The mother is large framed with a great frame and confirmation so I'm hoping the calf will be nice as she grows.

    Have another PB 2 weeks over to ERE, that bull with the 20% difficulty:pac:[/quote

    I sense a section soon enough

    You'll enjoy this then (even if I did'nt) Had a heifer bulling on Wed, told the auld man to ring ai man and use one of the gzp straws on her, however when I came home gzp became wta. He had used one of the tonka straws on her. Flippen 40e straw which can't be got anymore on a commercial heifer. I nearly cried.

    Do any of you use these types for bigger pipes say 1'' and how do you find them.

    All our water pipes are 2inch here and it's all we use.

    Couldn't help having a good laugh at that. You can be certain that she'll go in calf, no danger of a repeat there. According to semenstore.ie tonka straws are available for €25.

    There is a very good forum on the motoring thread on boards.ie regarding learner drivers. They are super helpful over there and will answer any question that you have.
    I got some excellent advice when I was applying for my learner permit for OH lorry.
    Apparently,nowdays all trailers need to have correct ballast while doing the test.
    Here is the link

    got it cut also yesterday while was dry,

    Young lad here burned the drive belt off the mower 2 nights in a row. It'd gotten heavy but I think he needs to adjust his driving style:D:D. Got 2 replacements the first time so he was going again in 5 mins.

    Great idea! And fair play to amazon for doing that.
    I got a good deal on an iRiver a while back, just so useful when travelling. Lots of books to be found online too;)

    note to self never plan anything. Plan was to bring kids bowling and take our time coming home, had a lad to milk this evening. We where bowling and my dad rang he needed a hand with a suckler, ended up having to get vet to do a section- first ever section on sucklers in 26 years of having them-I said i would milk and the lad that was to milk would help the vet and my dad. Anyways live aa bull calf he was upside down and backwards. Going to have a glass of wine now

    It feels weird being finished at 6. First time since autumn I'd say since I've been finished with nothing to do. Won't be long lived with silage coming up.

    What do you guys and gals do when your finished early :D

    When you have kids, finishing early means you mess around with them for the evening. In your case. ..... give the GF a nudge
