Muscle twitchings would be the usual common symptom. Aggressiveness, nervy, shivering. And unless you get them fast, they're dead :pac:

Even if you do get them in time there can be lasting damage done. Last one had never recovered mentally and was put down here

First animal I ever watched die was due to it. Left quite an impression and always have mag buckets out now.

I see where people are able to do field work in the middle of the night now using gps, if you had auto steer you could say the tractor went off and done it by itself.

How do they put them in? Is the ear stretched? Saw a lad with one on his cheek-face cheek.

There are two ways, you can get the ear punched which is not recommended or else long and slow using tapers like these.

I have zero patience so went straight from a normal piercing to a 3mm stretch

I can put eartags in as a party trick. Although that backfired on me one day in work when I got sheep tagged

Well........it wouldn't be far from it tbh! It takes quite a bit to push them through as well.

Naw, I'd say she uses them to keep gate handles in while she is out fencing.

Fierce handy, I'd say:pac:

Went in yesterday. Crazy. A lot of stuff had been put up before hand price wise. Bought one thing a scooter reduced from 130 to 103. Daughter had been test driving it in store all summer

Football final didn't burst into life yet. Kerry look a bit subdued.
Nothing like a drawn Semi to bring on a team!
Anyway 2nd half will tell the tale.

Has Adam Henson stopped doing his "Adams farm" on countryfile?,first time watching it in a while.Its the only part of the programme that would keep me entertained

Nekarsulm · 20-09-2015 07:07PM

Anyone got this stuff growing on their land?

Few patches along the roadside nearby, and last week every clump had a sign erected beside it.
Farmers and Contractors are asked not to hedgecut it, cause Dept. Environment/Ag. are trialling a new weedkiller, and want to see if its a success.
