    Had a heifer last night with the end gone of her tail, lost a few inches I'd say.
    Probably a dog attack, couldn't see it being anything else. :(

    Was some mess.

    All that's left here is beans. Few hundred acres of them!

    Hardly caught in wire somewhere? Saw a cow pull the last vertebrae or two off once when she got the hair at the end of her tail caught in the parlour.

    Be sure to get a note from the vet also to say it was necessary, I was 'advised' by an inspector earlier this year.

    They might be but I'm ruling out all possibilities here first as ive noticed that a few that I thought were bang on were off. It's the angle of the shankey rim that's causing the hassle.

    I'm confident enough the ones you showed me are right but the seller won't confirm for me if they will fit the rim right which has me a little cautious

    No ferry as yet as the child was sick and didn't know if she was going to be able to travel but think she's on the mend now.

    The weights are in Peakirk Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    I was suppose to be in Munich now. Missed my flight. The last flight I missed was when I was drunk in Hawaii in 2008. Going to get an awful bollocking from the bosses in Germany in the morning.

    Ah well, they'll have to get over it....

    Not sure why lads come back under different guises. If ya say something under a username have the balls to stand over it and don't go changing your username. If he does come back hopefully he will have the guts to use his old username!

    Thread on stealing from farmers and what to do about it if anyone's interested
    A few of houses were broken in to around here on sunday night. They got away with a good bit of stuff from 2 of them, in the 3rd house the house owner took out his gun, said he was very close to pulling the trigger, he is still waiting on guards to come out
