Ah, you be grand so...

And 804 is a good idea. Nothing worse than lambs coming out under the gate where ruts were made...
(Altho the beauty of not hanging gates is they are always at ground level)

Which reminds me..........
Young farmer near me that sneers/criticises all other farmers in area was getting farm roadway made. He had rock fill on bottom and was getting '3 inch down' for the top of it. Machine driver asks him what depth of this 3 inch down he wanted on pass.
"About an inch or an inch and a half" says yer man.
"Ah come on now", says machine man, " I may be good but I'm not able to put an inch of a 3 inch stone on a pass."
Farmer known as 3" now in certain circles. Cos of the story above I presume.

gate hung in the new place today. was only back in my own yard greasing the tractor and i saw a neighbour getting over the fence to inspect ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚

If you can. Weld the hinges to the post. I know it wont stop anyone who's determined to have a gate but at least they'll have to make a bit of noise to take it.

Few people around here had gates go missing. So what they're doing now is welding them to post and/or painting it a different colour or a mixture of colours. Lovely looking job there's nothing like doing a job for yourself.

Just saw on fb that simon was in clogherhead today launching a new boat, that was well kept under cover, would he not be better off going to the flood ridden farms down his part of the country

Did a check on silage stocks this morning. Reckon I only have enough to last until mid February.

Then I'll have to start using silage made in 2015.

Surely lad's will graze off winter growth in their silage fields first before fertilising for silage. I know I will.

Well with the amount of grass growing here we will be lucky to just graze the grazing fields never mind the silage ones
