cattle cards dont have to be presented to vets anymore for stamping after a test.

Only completed herd test 2 weeks ago and the vet asked for The cards. Is that rule in long?

Dont know, the girl said there is no need to stamp them any more but they could scan them to see if there are any cards missing iykwim. She said she would stamp them if I wanted her too

I think they still take the cards until the reading , its just that they don't need to stamp the date anymore I think

Melt treacle and put it back in her. Did you change her diet or anything bar the lick?

no she said theres no need. dont think restricted herds need to give in their cards any more either. Sure no movement could be completed unless you have a valid movement cert.

Just won 25 euro on a scratch card, the lad in front of me asked for an all cash and he said for the shopkeeper to put back the 2 euro card and give him a 1 euro card, i bought the 2 euro card and won 25 euro. The other lad was sick

No change in diet bar the lick. I stuck 200ml paraffin oil into the stomac tube and down her neck. Within two minutes I could hear it working in her. Strange one.

I've been there a couple of times with work. The usual, airport to company to hotel to airport. Got to go to a Champions League match with Bayern Munich playing once though.

its now a very speedy feeder, was all that damage done in 1 night?

Yep. I have not seen a rat about the place in ages but the dogs killed one on Tuesday so they are about.
The agri store only had 17 peach teats so we could only use one feeder and it took ages to feed them as we had to split some batches with a temporary gate. This afternoon I got a loan of another 10 teat feeder from a neighbour until Monday.

Great restuarants, not suitable for vegetarians or Muslims. Great beers. Great public transport system to get around. You MUST visit the Technology Museum. Don't know about the nightlife, had family with me.....

Christ McGregor got hammered by Diaz last night. There's a reason why great sports people are so humble. Too bad he had to learn that so late in life.

I have little sympathy for him. His antics are way over the top and completely staged for the cameras imo. Maybe now all the young lads going around with those ridiculous haircuts will disappear now too.

Limestone Cowboy · 06-03-2016 10:58AM

He had 9 million for that fight and Diaz only had 1 million out of it, who's the real winner?

Cant understand people staying up all night to watch a few seconds of a fight. When I was getting up most of the people were just heading to bed

Grueller · 06-03-2016 11:01AM

Had a calf born last monday morning that would not suck. Trying him every day and no go. Frustrating as hell. Gave him the injection last wednesday to no avail. Had been milking the cow and stomach tubing him twice a day since. I had given up on him sucking and baled the cow up to milk her this morning. Turned around to get the bucket to milk into and when I turned around again the little dinger was sucking. Still a bit awkward at it and very slow, but a lot faster than me milking by hand let me tell ya. Made my day anyhow.

You need to keep winning to maintain the paydays though. 1 payday like that would probably do any of us on here I suspect. I would be afraid that a lot of these pro sportspeople get used to a lifestyle that requires that level of income to be maintained.

He has himself hyped up enough, be plenty more payday's for him even though I agree with you to an extent.

Sure there's probably plenty saying 'can't believe how anyone would stay up calving a cow or lambing a ewe or crazy o'clock to milk cows that are bearly paying their way (at the mo) !! Takes all types to make the world go round!
