not trying to dance on the poor cats grave but you wouldnt have to go too far to pick up a kitten or a small cat, sure every farm on the country is full of them, might soften the blow to have a new little fur ball ready

whelan1

this was a kitten , born during the summer, his brother got run over too.... will see how we go when she gets home, we have a good few wild cats around the farm but the mother rejected these 2 kittens and we took them in to the house

its all part of the education of life for young kids nowadays as most are kept in cotton wool.

I fully agree Bob charles. I have a 6 year old nephew and he is as hard as nails, up on till his pets are involved. Had to have a disposal sale of his goats a few weeks back:rolleyes:. He still thinks there out in one of the fields. is mother has to tell him

the guillotine (sp) door on the keenan feeder was bent ,so my husband and the lad that works here decided to go at it yesterday. Said it would only take an hour 5 hours later:) tempers where getting frayed , the bolt that holds the door in place in the middle was gone, got anew bolt , the bars of the inside of the feeder where hitting the bolt, they also had to weld the brackets that hold the door ...all fixed now:D the feed was coming out the door when filling etc.... say it would have cost a fair bit ti get keenans to fix it

cows milked, 5 cubicle sheds sawdusted, silage troughs cleaned out, calves fed all before 9am, now to clean the house:o

Now your only posting that to make the rest of us look bad

Happy Christmas folks...
Particularly magic for those of us blessed enough to still have Santa calling round tonight... It's fever pitch round here now !!

Happy christmas everyone. Hope its peaceful and pleasant.

We just took delivery of our conacht agri drainage pipes and spent the morning stacking them safely away from prying eyes. We will get them in the ground when it dries out in spring.

Its been a good year on farms across the country with beef and dairy prices very favourable. Hope the trend continues for 2012.

Have the ham on the range and the turkey in the oven and the mini kegs of heiniken on ice. Hopefully all will be palatable tomorrow.

Enjoy!!

Great present, I must keep that one in the memory bank for a few years time. Mine are 4 and 2 so really enjoying Christmas this year. I've them wound up to the last. They're going to be exhausted by bedtime so there is no fear of them giving Santa a surprise later on;).

Happy Christmas to all on here and looking forward to a few more good debates in the New Year!
