    Am I reading that info right? Are there really only 5,673 herds with negative herd status?? At this rate we'll never get rid, it'll be like TB going on and on and on and on ..........

    Yeah something like that. Anyone who did the voluntary year testing and the next two years and didn't have any Pi's got negative status. But they had to send off samples again this year.
    The whole scheme is a shambles.

    Yep... Just did the brakes on it this evening after work. Somebody had dismantled the handbake setup and never put back together right.

    Did you find a buyer for the cattle trailer yet ?
    The brother picked up a fine 3 tonne plant trailer the last day for 1k, it was a steal at that money

    Checked eircode to discover that I have 2 !!!!!!........one for the hayshed and one for the sheep shed, but none for the dwellinghouse which is 20m away!!!!!! The sheep can have my Ir. Water bills as I don't seem to exist anymore! But then, if Shannon Airport can move to Co Limerick, anything is possible. Shades of PPARS, voting machines, Hse, Ir Water...... What is really galling is listening to that waffler and spinner Minister White "justifying" all this on RTE - a performance only rivalled by cute hoor Phil defending Ir Water.

    I wish I had that view looking down the shotgun barrell. Just walked the 600m to FIL's for shotgun, crows would almost land on ya. Once I had it walking back the same road and had it hidden down by my side so I could get to a good spot near the sheds they scarpered. Smarter than me anyway!!

    There have been a lot of near crashes with people looking at them instead of looking at the road
