    Yep. Just put it on to throw a bale of hay into the shed up the road. I dont know what happened. I pulled the leaver and it sat down like it should. looking at the way oit was marked I think it was in one eye but not the other:(

    Could not even contemplate how this heifer done this. But it's a lesson on why to remove them when fence is down.
    Looks bad but it never touched the eye.

    I seen one time where a tine grab came off a loader that was fully extended up. It traveled down the arms of the loader and hit the windscreen and rested on the bonnet. The driver was very lucky

    There are 3 stock bulls on the farm and this is the first calf descended from all three of them, she is half blonde, one quarter aubrac and one eighth angus. 8 weeks old.

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

    She's a lovely heifer though, dainty head too.

    This is a bull calf by ZFL, born in March, out of an aubrac x angus heifer.

    Couple of pictures of silage day in dunmore yesterday, I don't know how lads cut all they're silage with single or double chops years ago. When ya see how long it takes to fill a trailer, a small trailer at that it would be depressing turning into a 20 ac field to cut ha

    Yeah, it was slow enough alrite. Have you ever had to turn into 20 acres of hay and make cocks of it. Now that was depressing:D

    Jaysus, that's some animal. What's his breeding? Any chance of a pic of the ERE heifer calf you had to section. She must be a fair calf now?
