Crap, that's got my over-active mind thinking........
If I left one in for a week, would people contribute to charity for it?
Would certainly be an unusual one!:P

If you do progress to cattle tags does that mean we can look you up on ICBF and see your star rating?:)

latest protein test was 3.50%... never had protein that high at this time of year

are you doing any thing different ? & have you autumn calvers involved?

our last was 3.44, all spring calved , Bf has slipped back under 4 though , not too worried about the bf as we are losing quota each on bf adjustment iykwim

whelan1

have heifers coming through from an oman stock bull i had a few years ago, they seem to be making the difference , have a good few autumn calvers but also think the fact the sheep grazed the ground so well the quality of the grass is very good, our protein at this time of year would normally be around 3.3 if we are lucky

the sheep will give quality swarth ok

for argument sake let's we are getting 30c/ltr for 3.3p, can any one tell me how much is .1% p worth ?

ie if the test was 3.4 how much extra would we get?

I'm the opposite, I love it. One time in Budapest the thunder was so intense it felt like it was shaking the three storey building I was in, had to be dragged away from the window watching for lightning

Right job, no tralling through the house with mucky clothes There was a time you'd hardly get the tiles for it let alone the suite and mass concrete structure.

Now farmers can have a hotel bathroom suite in their own yard, who would have thought?

Ad says "cancelled order for a LUXURY hotel" .... don't know about that but it looks to me like the typical 'plug and play' modules installed in any 2 or 3 star Tokyo suburban motel.

I'd say it's Flemings from Cork, they custom made blocks upon blocks of apartments in Stepaside and Sandyford, apartment lands on a truck in three pods, looks awful like that's the bathroom pod!
