    Ta for that, may just ring them and see what the story is, of no use to us really so if they can be traded I will do that. I hope they're a good value so!

    Anyone know how much Lakeland Dairies shares are worth? Or Golden Vale for that matter. I've shares that were given to me in both and had forgotten all about them until I got a couple of letters in the last week.
    I can't make head nor tail of share prices online.
    I imagine ringing Kerry Group HQ and asking for the shares section will get you answers on whatever value or any accrued dividends from the shares might be worth, since Kerry bought GV a good while back.

    I wouldn't plan any exotic holidays yet, though. But even a 99 should be considered a bonus:P

    Yea I've that one figured out, shares were never transferred over from GV but looking online those are worth a lot more than what I can figure out from the Lakeland Financial report. Pity that, cause I've a hell of a lot of Lakeland ones.

    Not really farming related, other than there's a farmer in it! But was told a while ago about a photo of my uncle (rip) and Dad online, forgot about it until this morning, presumed it was one I'd have seen before. So I went looking and found it! When I showed it to Dad this morning he mentioned a German used to go out fishing with them around then. Low and behold the photo was got from an old German magazine :)

    We reckon they're in the harbour here, what with the angle of the shot and the tank beside the boat, come home from fishing for crays.

    1979.

    I'll have to do a bit of fishing now myself for the magazine name, I'd love to get a proper copy of it.

    Absolutely if I can get a good enough source to get a picture worth framing from.

    I doubt it but wouldn't know for 100% sure. Dad stopped fishing years ago to concentrate on farming. My uncle and another man continued on but eventually the boat and the gear was sold. They bought that boat on Aran from a man named Quinn, something tells me there was a small harpoon mounted on that boat before they got it, I must ask again. Spent not enough days on her myself, but the ones I did I have great memories of.

    Funnily enough, I was in Brussels years ago on a trip, and we visited the cattle market in the outskirts of the city.
    Every animal was a BB, elephants of cattle. This was a few years after the Hormone ban came in here in Ireland, and despite being within spitting distance of the Berlaymont Building, farmers there cheerfully admitted to giving their cattle growth promoters.
    Also, every drover used a stick, a bit like a walking stick with a club end on it, and they hammered the ****e out of the cattle as they moved them between pens, and to lorries.
    These sticks were being sold on traders stalls outside the market, same as tools, boots and cabbage plants are sold here.
    So I take all proclamations from Brussels with a large pinch of salt.

    I didn't use it as my query was not that important to be sent directly to the CE.
    I sent it to Dept of Agri and asked them to forward it to HSI. Have not received a reply as yet but will let the hare sit for a few days.
    If nothing comes I will use the link that you gave me.
