    Leaving and junior cert exams starting on Wednesday. Best wishes to all those involved. This can only mean a dramatic improvement in the weather.

    This probably shows the students plight

    Once it doesn't come this way I'll be a happy man!

    I've 2 cows here now with a nice bit of clear slime coming out of them but not showing any signs of heat all day. Both calves almost 2 months. Want to ai them because the bull is on an outfarm with heifers at the moment. Should I be expecting them to be bulling tomorrow?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭MickeyShtyles

    It'd be a good sign alright. Have you whistled at them?

    :eek: The only Dub in the pub ain't that popular at the moment even amongst her cousins.

    Maybe tomorrow, but if not, soon I'd be thinking, I've seem similar and the cow would come bulling a few days later.

    No point blaming the good team. There's a gulf in class between Dublin and most other teams.

    Different class.
