reggie , hows the calf?

Still there. Still down and weak but seems to be attempting to get up at times as he might be a foot or so from where I last seen him.

Cross compliance inspection finished. Phew....

A few small problems with the register but i asked him had i done it right first and he showed me the right way.

There really should be some training in form filling from the Dept:(

Was there a reason for the inspection. Sitting here in hotel bar reading the journal and having a pint☺

Mostly sheep. Tags and movement documents. Bringing cows. Journal and Miller for after a bite to eat.

On a plus for inspections, really helps keep my blood sugars under control:-(

Read your post wrong.

I was flagged due to late registrations. Found out a lot from the guy and a few others i was talking to in the last few days. Late regs, ordering 2 tags for an animal together, problems with movements dockets and all that stuff will flag you as a potential problem. The more of each you have and the length of time since last inspections, the higher the flags will fly.

Had a few late regs last year after the shed went in the storm and this year again due to my father in hospital so i must have had more flags than the opening ceremony of the olympics:o

Discovered this morning a young cow missing BOTH tags. She has already gone through a set, what the hell she gets up to, but I've sent off for one tag today and will wait a week or so before looking for the other. Hope no-one notices her until I get at least one in. She's within 2/3 weeks of calving and I hate the thought of fighting with her.

I'd order one tag for her and tag her after she calves and wouldn't order the second one for a few months.

I order the tags as I need them . Ordered a pair yesterday for a header going to the Mart next week. She has 1 tag but ordered 2 in case I fook up

Halter her before you try to tag her. Will restrict her range of movement.

She has a big split in her ear

Had one quiet doll here who had no tags in her for the guts of six months. Before we let her out I sneaked up behind her in the shed and tagged both her ears- using the holes from before as they hadn't ripped out. Well, she must have been rightly affronted at getting earrings back in, she gave me a dunt up the arse as I went out over the barrier. And this was a cow that never pucked in her life!

:pac:

Jaysus Kovu get her up the crush next time. You are taking crazy chances there and she could have done you a serious injury or worse.

Nope, she's trustable. Her mother was the same. Big wally of a cow that just likes a scratch.

Won't go up the crush too handy anyhow, she remembers two sections... :pac:

A neighbour of mine got 48 hours notice of a dept inspection recently to check his animals tags, his herd register and blue cards.
He only had two animals missing one tag and was give a month to replace them.
He sent back a form saying he had replaced the tags, a few days later he was given 24 hours notice of another inspection to check the two animals again.
Apparently 10% of farmers get this second inspection.

Got insurance renewal today up €160 quid, nearly had a cornory on the spot, will be shopping around tomorrow.
Reading the herd test tomorrow, fingers crossed, decided to scan the cows while I have them in, been hearing various stories of problems with bulls. Decided not to look too close at the animals today in case I starting seeing lumps :eek:

Nothing I can do about it now anyway;)

Is it a good show, was thinking of heading up to it, is there much cattle or sheep?

Enjoy the wedding

Truth be told it's been a while since I was at it. We usually arrive early with the tractors head off as we have work to do and then collect the tractors later that evening after the show.

Thought if you order 2 tags the same it would trigger an inspection? ðŸ˜¯
