Yeah the recovery is getting longer and longer alright. And isn't even related to sport - do you notice niggles just don't seem to disappear anymore?! I lightly sprained an ankle about 5 months ago on some rough ground down the farm. The fecken ankle still niggles me every so often:rolleyes:. The clutch in the tractor seems to aggrevate it:(

What amazes me is the amount of people that decide to go mad in sports later in life and never bothered with it when they were younger. I know a few lads that are in to climbing mountains, running marathons. The same guys were more into skulling pints when they were younger.

when to get the fertilizer spreader back off the neighbours this morning andthe PTO shaft was jammed solid. had to cut off the guard and after 2 and a half hours and a full can of wd40 got it free:mad:. frustrating morning

There is a terrible myth about WD40, that it is a suitable lubricant for seized parts like your driive shaft. In fact, it is merely a water repellant and doesn't do a whole lot for releasing as it evaporates away quite quickly. The most suitable lubricant for a seized part is diesel. It will make its way in around seized parts and loosen them out far faster than wd40.

what does the wd stand for in wd40?

Water Displacement 40th attempt.
I love the smell of the stuff. Suppose it's like petrol, love it or hate it.

"Two of the craziest purposes for WD-40 include a bus driver in Asia who used WD-40 to remove a python snake which had coiled itself around the undercarriage of his bus, and police officers who used WD-40 to remove a naked burglar trapped in an air conditioning vent."
Hahahah!

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Very interesting, have the stuff but didn't know how much you can do with it...

Before you read to the end, do you know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is?
I had a neighbour who had bought a new van. I got up very early one
Sunday morning and saw that some vandal had spray painted red all
around the sides of this white van. I went over and told him the bad news. He
was very upset and was trying to work out what to do, probably nothing
until Monday morning, since nothing was open.

Another neighbour came out and told him to get some WD-40 and clean it
off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm the paint
that was on the van. I'm impressed!
WD-40 - how did someone work out it would do that?

'Water Displacement No.40' The product began from a search for rust
preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was
created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical
Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water
displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth
formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to
protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40
that would hurt you. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that
spotty shower screen. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as on
glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your cooker top .... Kazamm! It's
now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

Here are some other uses:

1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar 20 strings.
4. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps flies off cows.
6. Restores and cleans blackboards.
7. Removes lipstick stains.
8. Loosens stubborn zips.
9. Untangles jewelry chains.
10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11.. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14. Keeps glass shower screens free of water spots.
15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.
18. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for
those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the
finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just
remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Dead insects will eat away the finish on your car if not removed
quickly! Use WD-40!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a 20 shine for a super fast slide..
21. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
22. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and
dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick
spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.
24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well
as vinyl bumpers.
26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for
easy handling.
29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running
smoothly.
30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31. Removes splattered grease on stove.
32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve
arthritis pain.
37. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you
will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than
the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose.
Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for
fishing are not allowed in some counties ..
38. Use it for gnat bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops
the itch.

I can also add one, oil or grease on cement, use WD-40 easily removes it. We had a Lions Day at Australia Zoo, someone forgot the Grease bucket, it went all over their clean cement walkway, so I got my WD-40 out, fantastic.


I can add another one......if u spray your garden pots around the sides it
stops slugs/snails eating ur plants : )

I can add another .... removes chewing gum from anything.

And for some reason............spray it on your arthritic knee joints etc and it will ease them.

P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL..

Thats a pure sickner , last year one of my best cows , a blue cross simmental went 2 weeks over her due date carrying an easy calving A.I belgian blue calf. One of the toughest jackings iv done on a cow and was seriously regretting having taken on the job when i got him to the shoulders but too late then. Eventually got him out , alive . lay in the straw for 3 hours balling and despite everything i tried he wouldnt try to get up or suck and didnt have the will to live. Died shortly after.
Left with a dry cow over the summer . Despite the harsh calving she was back in heat quite quickly because no calf on her . I AI'd her myself to an easy calving Blonde (Kilmoney Bruce) . This year she has calved a month premature with a pair of dead twin calves bull and heifer .. :mad:
The following day i noticed her extremely stiff and not much movement in her back legs . Very bad case of mastitis . Stripped her out on bad quarter , put 2 tubes in her and 50ml of pen-strep . That evening i returned to find her in a paralised state . The vet arrived examined her and treated with several different drugs to treat her "Gangrenous Mastitis" and gave her little chance of survival . True enough the next morning I had to call my local Knackery .
Moral of the story : in 2 years = 3 dead calves , 1 dead cow . a knackery bill and a hefty vet bill

Sorry to hear that:( happens to everyone in the farming business. But it's the love for the job that keeps us going. If you average it out, who else would work on a 24 hour call basis, at low wage. Worth it in the end to see new life coming into this world and being a part of it,

what a rollercoaster of a week

last sunday my favourite cow went down with milk fever- she had been making progress but today she broke her hip:mad: knackery collecting her in the morning


was milking this evening and noticed a cow had just aborted- dried her off straight away. no room for problem cows in the herd.

now on a more positive note 19cows calved with 17heifers and two bulls:)

and finally milked my first FLT heifer this week(milked my second soon after)

annoyed over losing two great cows but joyous over calvings

sorry to hear about for your milk fever cow, was this the same cow that would'nt stand and we thought had paralysis
Thats a great heifer to bull ratio were you using advantaged straws?

Hey guys I'm posting from a phone and I couldn't start a new thread for some reason so ill ask the question here.
Do ye think a 16 mth old bull is good enough to serve around 40 cows.
It will probably extend over 10 weeks or so

Nope, 10 cows would be enough to break in a bull of 16 months I would think. Letting him off with 40 is asking for trouble!!

I'm looking at Limousin mainly and I'm getting mixed advice depending on who I talk to,.
I myself had thought I'd need at least a 2 ye old but they don't seem to be out there in too big of numbers it seems to be mainly under 18 nth. And yes there is older bulls out there but I'm a bit cautious about buying a 3-4 yr old. Are lads not just selling them because they don't like the calves they produced or troublesome

Not always. It's usually because a bull would be serving at 2 years old, then any replacement heifers kept on would be hassle to keep out of the herd and away from him.

we sell around 10 bulls a year, mostly 14-16months old mainly go to heifers first and then clean up cows...

I have 12 heifers that I was going to AI but maybe I could look at buying a second bull and devide them into 2 groups and off load him later in the year.

Feeding up earlier and noticed a few heifers in a pen with the first signs of ringworm...Didn't have any imravol so we jumped them into the chute and painted it with burnt oil..
Mad... Up to last year we had been clear for about 15-20 years, I know there was allot about on many farms last year.... Funny the way it came back..

Will need to get the Imravol and wash them ASAP to keep it at bay...
Thing is, there is 8 in the pen and 25 in total in the shed... Shared drinkers, open barriers.... I was planning on drenching any with visible signs and then only drenching the heads of the rest... Should be enough.. Another few weeks till they get out..

vet told us today its a waste of time putting oil on them now as what ever was in the oil before, that kills the ringworm is no longer in it

hi bbam,

it's a complete pain alright. I'd get a couple of bottles Imaverol e22 a bottle in coop in Monaghan, my vet was more like 30/32 and a knapsack and spray the lot of them... and disinfect the hell out of barriers/ pens etc

we sell a few lm bulls each year, I wouldn't recommend a bull under 20 months for 40 cows , also would advise not letting the bull run with them for the first 2 weeks, .. let him in to serve and then remove

Had the same a few weeks back. i went to the vet and he knew the ones i was talking about. he said just to leave them. he said it can depend a lot on the age and condition of the animal. it didnt spread outside the one pen (unusually) and all cleared up ok. let them out last week so at least that will hopefully clear up any chance of it spreading. they all seem grand now.

Its turning out to be a right pain tbh. I had intended letting a young bull with about half of them and using ai on the best of them with the heifers but personal circumstances have changed that make it imposible for me to watch them myself and my ould lad can't turn them in and out so that's why there's the bull dilema

moved a couple of loads of ewes and lambs to the out farm to day, anyone in sheep will know loading ewes with young lambs at foot is not an easy task

over the winter we narrowed & extended the loading race and installed a backing gate with different anchor points in the handling unit, it worked a dream, took me over 35 years but i think i have got right at last

kind of the same yesterday letting out sukler cows up the road, could have done with an extra pair of hands as 2 of the calves could only walk backwards:cool:

I spent nearly 40 mins yesterday trying to get a cows head through the chute gate. In the end I had to give up before one of got a heartattack. I wanted to dose her with Zanil. You'd think I was trying to kill her. I did them all last July with it , no problem.
Anyone got any tips? It's an old style gate like those on a calving gate, not the automatic type. I tried lifting her tail and everything. Even poured some zanil on her feed. She wouldn't eat it because of the smell. Christ I had sweat pouring out of me for a finish. A red limmy, very quiet but stubborn.

If you put her in again for a few days and give her some feeding at the head of the crush. She will get used to it and come in no bother. when you think shes happy with the situation move the nuts outside the crush gate so as she will have to put her head out to get them. You will have to be quick with closing the gate though. if she realizes what you are doing and gets her head back out, you'll never again catch her. Especially if she is one of the older smarter cows!! Worked a dream for us before

put a bar behind her, put a halter or nose piece on her and pull her through... and stay calm:rolleyes: other think would be to give her a jab of a needle or prod of something in the butt

pakalasa

Thanks guys,
I have tried a bit of meal just outside the gate but no go. Maybe I will have to try her over a few days. I had the bar behind her too and prodded her aswell. I think a halter and pull her through might be the easiest.
A lot to be said for these pour-ons eh? :mad:
