    That's tough, you had her named as well so she probably had a character.
    It reminded me of our purebred sheep, they used to put out the waterbag and then stop for no reason, only for the cameras we'd have missed a lot of them as when we'd go out to the shed there'd be no sign of a string or anything.

    Because you care for your stock.
    A lot of people that don't farm will never understand the level of care that goes into breeding livestock.

    Sorry to hear that, a tough one to take. At least you can take solace in that she passed rel quickly, sometimes after such a calving the craters can hang on a while with little actual chance of recovery before passing

    17-0 I think we're nearly at the stage where our lads will be saying to the ref 'Is there much left ref?':(

    Go out and do a bit of farmwork. It makes it easier...
    Just been and back from the co-op for a few bags of meal in the tractor.
    Seems everyone else has the same idea and the roads are getting busier.

    A fresh team playing a tired team in a very physical sport. It was always going to be unfair.
    We lost that match before kickoff.

    I don't think the type of rugby we play will ever cut it at the world Cup.

    At our best we would always be up against it playing NZ, our form this year has been very patchy. Too many picked on reputation rather than form I think

    They haven't been the same team since Joe Schmidt announced he was leaving.
    Whether it's the training is half arsed or/and heads are down when playing. But it hasn't been the same.
    The expectation for today was built on a different time when Ireland could do no wrong when they beat the ABS in Chicago and Dublin.
    I seen absolutely none of the northern players singing Ireland's Call today either. Maybe I'm wrong and missed them but if you're a team you do things as a team and leave all other things outside the stadium.
    Just my few cents.

    They haven't been the same team since they beat NZ last time out. It all went down hill from there. NZ were going to revenge for that loss today it wouldn't take much to hope them up for today's game.

    The land beside me that I had a bid on ended up being bought by a neighbour with about 10 farms and over 120cows and 4 bulls. He sold a quarry to the turbine crowd and ended up paying cash for the place.

    He asked me what I would do with it- I said fence it- “ah we’d have to find money for that”. He bought another field this week for €35000 cash and I’ve just moved his cattle off my lawn and helped gather the rest of them from around the locality.

    New gate going in the bottom of our driveway fairly soon.

    There's an ole lad around here who has been left "five farms of land" he doesn't own one animal and spends his days going around taking the neighbours sheep out of his land. The sheep are on the long acre and his land isn't fenced that well. Why he won't rent it out I don't know.
