    Any one know if a factory will take freshly calved cows? Have one calved here last week with mastitis and always had very high cell count that we want to factory? We haven't given her any medicine or anything, will they take her?

    If you were typing it on your phone, then the Predictive Text facility may rescue it for you. Type first word you had used the first time, and the P T should take over and keep suggesting the next word.

    What sort of a device would I need to do the following, put music (mp3 most likely) onto it and play in the car - CD slot anyway, can't even remember if there's a tape thing! Or am I better just to burn it onto CDs?

    If you google mp3 to cd converter you'll be able to download a free file that will tell your windows to put it onto the file and then onto a cd. I'm not very Teck savvy but you'll get what in saying I hope ha.

    Would it not just be handier to get an mp3 player you plug into the cig lighter socket? Or perhaps a bluetooth speaker for your phone/ hands free kit to work the mp3 player on your phone on the cars speakers

    Does anyone on here know about a teagasc scheme where they will do a pre breeding scan and synchronise your cows for you and all you only have to pick up the cost of ai. I have a neighbour that did it last year with 9 cows and it was a great success. They rang him a few weeks ago wanting to do it again this year but he has nearly all his cows served again so said there was no point. I must ask him more about it when I meet him again. Wouldn't mind doing it with 9 or 10 cows and ai them to a charolais.

    Swallows are dying in the cold here, just found one dead on the lane. Not a mark on him. I'll bury the little mite later, doesn't deserve to fly almost 10000km to die on a lane in Leitrim and get fcuked over the hedge :(

    Ya cause we don't take to your ilk kindly :P

    Naughto, I did and he just sat on it. So I buried it in the front garden. Cat is going to the vet at 5. Big baldy arse on him from (I think) a reaction to Gallup.

    He catches leverets out in the meadows which were licked with Gallup :P

    Anyway he was back in the house about five minutes before he removed his lampshade collar and escaped out the window.....ah well.

    Pure insomnia here now. Lost a cow this evening that developed an awful scour about 3 weeks ago. Had given her a course of sulphur powders for 3 days to no avail and a fluke and worm dose and got the vets to send off a faecal sample a week ago to try and find out what's causing it but hadn't got the results back yet. Rightly sickened by it now so I am. Hopefully the faecal sample will shed some light on what caused it and it won't be something stupid that I should have picked up on. Calf won't suck a bottle either to make matters worse, anyone any tips on how to get her started? 6 weeks old and hungry enough in herself because the cow had as good as dried up.

    If you can keep him alive and get him sucking, off to the mart asap. You'll get as much out of him. Cont sucks are crazy money at the mo. Let some other lad have the bother of rearing him.

    you'd have to print off the movement permit anyway so either you post the 3rd copy back or do the movement on line, you still have to have the your bit in your possession afaik, in case of inspection

    You dont need to keep a copy as you can show the permit number on Agfood just type in the tag number and a history pops up. But if the lad doesn't use agfood print him a buyers copy and send off a copy to Cork
