    No one as far as I know. But it's the technology side of things I'm investigating. If they are going to have a robot in a rotary parlour that can milk 150 cows or more they would be the way forward for those that are interested in going down the robot route

    Wow, that's interesting, u would really see robots take off if they could master idea

    We have been having a problem with one bull that got squeezed a few weeks ago. Noticed that one scrotum was enlarging daily. Brought him in this morning to have a look and when I put my hand on it to have a feel it burst and a load of puss came out :eek:
    I got some peroxide and water to wash it out. After a few syringes pumped into it the and me inserting my finger to get the gunge out the hole got bigger.
    Next thing out popped one of his testis onto the ground. OH nearly keeled over there and then. Men are such whimps ;)

    I feels queezy now. what way did you castrate him? Burdizzo?

    They decided now it might be best to get a ct scan. FFS some joke. That's what she was sent for.
    Doctor couldn't believe she hit the wire railing at 120k and was still in one piece

    Fair play. Are you going to set up here or what's the plan. NZ is an absolute stunning country. I'd say its nearly like leaving home again. You might be home sick when you get back to Ireland.

    Plan at the moment is to come home for a few months, work at home doing some tidy up jobs and give the auld lad a break plus any other casual work I can find, then in October head to oz to do a harvest as its something ive always wanted to do. After that travel oz a bit then home to start my green cert and seriously look and see if the home place can provide some sort of reasonable income going forward.

    Good God, when you put it like that you realise how much worse it could of been and also how poorly the health service is run.
    Keep the pressure on them and hope she makes a speedy recovery. Look after her anyway.

    when our neighbour had a stroke, luckily his son was with him and bundled him into the car and straight to hospital. There he met a family friend, a nurse, coming off shift. She told him straight to" shout and roar like the Africans do, or he Will be left sitting till its too late" He rise hell and the interm finally got the doctor, who grudgingly decided that a lay person may actually have correctly diagnosed a condition. The neighbour is back contracting now, a month later .

    Keep asking questions and for second opinions. Do not stop or become complacent until you are satisfied all your questions have been answered. While it is up to your girlfriends parents, you can help in describing symptoms to the parents and supporting them by giving them questions to ask, and pointers. Keep pushing, the system is clogged and things are easily overlooked imo. Older people can have a deference for the medical profession and hesitate, don't. Be a pest.

    Vet did him along with about 70 others with a burdizzo - he was the only problem that we had this year.

    Greengrass - hope your OH is ok.

    they are already tailing a robot arm in rotary sheds on a farm in nz think it is gea, milking a lot of cows too, how its going is been kept under wraps id say because you hear very little about it. In this shed tho the robot only replaces the milker , someone still has to get cows in for milking.

    That is what the GEA guy I was talking to yesterday. And it's what I'd prefer, getting the cows twice a day and checking the cows and paddock. An existing farm just replaces the parlour and all your roads ways, handling facilities etc. stay the same. But it's a couple of years to a commercial roll out

    I definitely think this is were the robots are going really take off, no training in of stock,no running around the paddock looking for a cow that hasn't been milked. Parlour can be built and robot fitted at a later date when capital allows if needs be.
