    Counterfeit Tuna is my guess. Probably crossing the border heading for the ferry in a horsebox as we type...

    Buford killed Fungi!!

    photos or gtfo :pac:

    I reckon its a stitch up by the veggie disk people. Poor Buford :(

    Fungi has been 'rescued' and is now living in someone's living room. The fact that he needs water has completely passed them by. He is starting to hum somewhat...

    I hope all goes well the next day. Is he amongst cattle now?

    Ya he ended up with a batch of stores who are predominantly quiet whiteheads.
    From a batch of 8 that I bought last April 5 are gone now thank God. So still this mad bsatard, another almost as bad and a quite lad.
    When I told my man where they came out last April he wasn't surprised. Said the previous owner would be giving out about the price he would get in the mart. The reason was obvious as his stock would be fit to jump the ring most of the time. Farming from the ditch as they say.

    If you go back to original post, it was implied that it wasn't an issue,
    If it was up for discussion in the EU this week IFA would've been asked for an opinion. I doubt they would've put too much time into it.
    Likewise during the week it was reported that six out of a commitee of 50 on the IFA national Executive proposed a vote of no confidence in Tara Mc Carthy.
    Again the begrudgers in Beef Plan had to criticise even though I don't think it was passed. You couldn't make it up really..... again sad lot.
    It amazes me how we don't have the best beef prices/ government/ Covid nos in the world with all the self elected experts out there. The particular character I know wouldn't be a great example of anything well managed

    To be fair wrangler - the poster whom I was quoting was under the impression that the IFA - was a collective name for Irish farmers . And that it was Irish farmers themselves alone were taking this petition to Europe. Many of the comments with the article seem to follow the same general idea of farmers supposedly doing this because they are 'bitter' etc. The same bs ideas were been run in the vegetable forum

    I have no opinion either way on what veggie burgers etc should be called but IFA can't say that because there's those out there that are only looking for a soft hit against them.
    There's not as many press releases coming from IFA either and I'll guarantee you it's because of those same keyboard cowards warriors

    Two farmers close to me both lost a cow to tetany this morning, suckler cows with calves on them. Plenty of pneumonia about also, it’s dangerous weather for cattle now.

    Piece just finished on the Moncreif show about hal-al abattoirs and how most of them now support stunning of animals before slaughter. It would appear that it is a largely older profile who do not support stunning. Glad to see some development in this area tbh.

    27 inches from top of wall to top of railway track upright.

    Haven’t measured any barrier but any I’ve seen were a good bit higher than that

    Barrier 38 inches high, bolt holes about 36 inches apart.

    Gentleman. Thank you.

    A neighbour has a surplus barrier he’d let go I measured his this morning.

    Debating now if I’d be better bolting the barrier at group level outside the wall, or bolt a heavy angle to the short train track upright to extend it the required foot that would allow me bolt the barrier on top of the wall

    Local tennis club refund part of the 2019/2020 fee back in July.
    Golf clubs are dealing with a different scenario this last ten years.
    Now with new courses, and fellows ( in particular) going in for other sports and pastimes, they have to fight to get members.
    Our local club in Cavan town used to be so difficult to get into that you really needed to have a relative a member to vouch for you, and even then it could take years.
    Between the property crash and the rise in the popularity of both cycling and all weather pitches for 5 a side etc, everycourse has a big sign up advertising for members.

    Thanks for the tip, great idea the calving lube.

    We have had to cut barriers twice, once with a heavily pregnant cow getting stuck in a crush and a calf stuck at the hips trying to force his way back into a pen.

    Used it before on a bull who got his head stuck after lying down in a pen. But for him I eventually had to go for the bottle jack to widen the gate a couple of inches. Just easier & less stressful than a grinder & it can just give that extra slide that's needed.
    Knew this fella could fit out but he'd gotten both legs stuck over the gate & was just lying back on his arse & making it bulge even more. I'd say he was going out & a cow pushed him back & he just flopped down.
    Hate cutting bars!
