    could see the electric fence earthing in calving paddock this morning, there was a big spider between the electric wire and sheep wire-about an inch of a gap- i'd say he got fried

    Watching Animal Rescue here. I swear to God, some people need a good whack, across the face, with a chair. I cannot understand how anybody can be cruel to animals.

    I agree. Looking at the horses and dogs, any person could have treated the milder symptoms, all missed the very basics in animal husbandry, cleaning, worming/lice, grooming and feeding. It ain't that fooking hard to do.

    Not even that, they ignored the bleeding obvious dead dogs lying in the yard, a dead sheep, complete with tags that was half eaten, a horse carcass torn apart.......ugh.
    I really must get around to volunteering at Keenagh soon. Every little helps.

    Lol, I know now why I connected the name with a horse, it was the name of a white stallion in a old movie - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147519/

    1 week ban, story could be worse! Hopefully we'll beat the argies but they look the part at the moment.

    Damn you well paid military men....

    Anyway, on farming chat, Dad got an old iron gate done up for the lane to the house, it was two old (100-150 yr) iron gates chopped up and welded together to make one large 6 1/2 foot one. I was given the job of prepping it for painting earlier with a wire brush and my hands are now in bits. And my eyes as well cause of the dust off it. I'll throw a pic up in the guntering thread once I have it finished.

    One of the gates came from the old farm my great grandfather had so we can't be fully sure just how old it is. The other one was from here, where my g-grandad married into so it's sorta nice that the two old iron gates from both sides of the family are now together and in use again!

    I love hearing stories like this and I think it's what makes us Irish. Fair play to your Dad, you and family.

    Thanks :) Dad is really into family history and things like that, when we were doing up the old cottage that now has that gate at the entrance, he brought the keystone down from my great grandfathers old family home and used it above the front door. There's also an old millstone right at the apex of the stone front. It's like a patchwork of our family history as there's also an old grandfather clock in it that was a wedding present for aforementioned great grandfather when he moved from his homeplace to the house here to get married!

    TBH as I get older I too am more into my family history and the generations that went before me. When I was younger I didn't care a whit but now it enthralls me.
