It's hard but your better off try another day. To many lads take that they get. I saw on the bb websight one nice 445kg bull make 1270 and they said that was good. It's a few quid away from good IMO.

Would you not put um through the ring anyway. See how far they get. High possibility that youd sell them outside the ring after. If you still weren't happy you could carry them home. That being said I reckon you probably knew the solitary shipper and his form. Good BB bulls and heifers are going for €3+kg at the moment. A few of mine went quite abit more. But that was just luck.

shipper insulted me by offering only 2.75 a kg,blues were sold for 2.40-2.60 yesterday, 3 weeks ago they paid me 3.07 for only ok partenaise bulls, the bb society are fooling themselves by putting that crap up on their facebook page.i said i would not waist the time of all the mart staff by putting them thru the ring.where and when did you sell or to who,, pm if you want,as much information passed around to each other will help in these tough times.

2 month old aubrac calf out of blue/grey angus.

Legs I hope you did the right thing bringing them home, shippers aren't slow either to take advantage of depressed prices.

Me too! Stuck in a roasting hot office all day! Almost home time though, can't wait to get the 'real work' clothes on and head out to do a few jobs!

New licker

Midlandsman80 · 17-06-2014 09:57PM

Nice looking kit, how does the application to the roller work? Is it a push button type job?

Looks like the one I have. Is it from Tuamgraney Engineering. If it's the same there is a button on the lead to battery that turns the pump on and off. Nozzles above the roller then apply the mix on to carpet. Takes a bit of getting used to how often it needs to be turned on.

Yep , great morning alright. Same story here with rushes. Hopefully they will be under control in a year or two.

I had the loan of a licker for a few days, great to seem them dying! Hate borrowing machinery though so must invest.

Our local machinery man rents them out, €50 per day. Used one for the first time about two weeks ago for rushes/thistles and docks. It had a button that you pressed to release the weedkiller. Only fault that I had with it was then when it was sideways on a hill the roundup would dribble out to one side. Hence we have lines of burned off grass

If that's happenning, just work the licker both ways. That is, have the right side facing downhill on one pass and then the left side facing downhill on the next pass. Use a bit less liquid too.

Roundup at 30/1 about a month ago with a good dart of washing up liquid. Killed an odd bit of grass but thought it would be a lot worse.
