Somehow the neighbour had built up five calves to dehorn and tag for me to do as I was helping during his test today. Had the calves all penned together and was fierce proud of himself......incl three white ch hfs that could be triplets looking at them.

Met a lad from school at the traffic lights in the town. He's after picking up a 12 Opel Insignia today.... Isn't it well for a 21yr old driving a 3yr old car seeing as I'm happily driving a 13 yr old yoke!
Madness!

Just in from calving the last cow. First time I ever had a calf coming with one of the front legs down. I moved the cow in the trailer this evening from some land a mile away, so maybe that had something to do with it.
God him out no bother once I turned up the leg. A fine STQ belgian blue bull. God those AI Belgian blues sure are easy calving compared to the Charolais or even the Limousin.
Lovely night out too, full moon and no wind.

Had an ai at the far farm today was left repairing a bit of fencing while waiting.
Two hours fencing on rushy ticky land= I AM COVERED IN BLEEDIN' TICKS.
I could even see them crawling up my trousers in the van on the way back.
Stopped in to inject a calf for a fella and his wife let a little scream out as I was drinking tea, four wee black ticks merrily making their way up my arm! :pac:

Is there a way of clearing ticks off ground?
We only ever had ticks in one field that we we have rented for the first few years and I don't know what got rid of them

Probably getting rid of the rushes would help, there's a lot of bog and trees/scrub ground on one side. I'd say I walked through a nest of them, all I've found so far have been the same size.

Just be careful with ticks, especially if deer roam the area.

Kovu · 03-06-2015 05:37PM

No deer around here at least! I keep meaning to wear one of the cat tick/flea collars as a bracelet but never remember to buy one

Was there not some mention of donkeys (in regard to ticks)
in the donkey thread?
