Went looking for a cow that's close to calving. Couldn't find her. Heading back to house to gather more help and discovered her in the shed with a new calf. How smart was that?

I'd say you'll be hanging on to her!

Badly irritated the injury in my neck yesterday evening, pushing a garden hose onto a fitting !!
Was in agony within minutes and now in bed drugged up. Be out of action now for a few days

Was at an auction last night. One lot was two racoons. Who the hell would want one as a pet.

Mr Dept mc Badgerson found the biggest sett he ever seen a couple of miles away. Close to 30 badgers in it he reckons.

I know its his job but.... does he just walk around all day looking for badgers or is there a strategy he uses to pinpoint?

He has to go out to guys who are locked up, from there on it's word of mouth. He's going to take two badgers out of that sett and test them.

The wildlife ranger for your area will have an ordinance survey map covering perhaps five miles square, showing every field. Every set gets marked on this map.

Question for ye! When moving cattle to another field, do ye have some sort of a plan in place or do ye just let them out and hope for the best?

I hate moving cattle here because they never plan anything and expect you to read their minds on what they want you to do! Lunatics!!!!

Keep ours addicted to meal, wee shake near every evening.

They would follow the bucket over the edge of a cliff , so getting them into a new field is no bother.

They do that with the calves but not the bigger ones. I'm afraid to suggest it for fear of being shouted at! Tempers are flared today!!!!

Ours are yearlings and it works a treat.

Same here. I almost never have to go behind ours to drive them on just stand at the open gate with a bucket and a few nuts to shake and make a noise and they come a running. The calves learn very quickly from their mothers that it's worth their while so by the time they are bigger there is not a bother with them.

Have all of ours trained to the bag. Never any problems moving large groups as long as you have a plastic bag

Got a nasty kick to my right hand this afternoon while loading sucklers and followers onto the lorry for a neighbour. First, middle and ring finger badly swollen and cut.
I had to collect an injection for a calf this evening from our vet and when she saw my hand she kindly examined, dressed and taped them up
