Ya grass not bad but only the last 2 weeks ,cover is about 4-5 inches bit more in spots .... good ould pig slurry .... They all go to ballyhaunis alright they will be the last of the aa to get the top up in the factory .

Ya just when you think it is getting dry again it starts to rain ... and i woulnt mind that is sandy clay soil and is normally dry enough to drive across in van even in wet weather.

This is a February heiffer from one of our mixed bag of FR & FRX cows, in calf to God knows what. Her card says FR but there was supposed to be some Montbeliarde in the crosses somewhere, and she looks a bit like that to me. Any opinions?

He's a she Actually she's a PB off the cow that had the blonde heifer sunday morning. Exact same markings on 2 other blues off the LMs. I adore that colour on blues. First calf I ever showed had that colouring and won all round her so maybe I'm a bit prejudiced in that :P

just do it

Any takers?!

36 bales to 36 farmers. There's 50 farmers in this parish alone with their names down for fodder. It won't go too far.

I got to the last bale of a load which came in yesterday just in time - at 7:30 this morning.

Not sure whether to put it in the barn or the safe.

'May day' me h*le! Thank God we don't have crystal balls, because if I knew last June and I pullin my feet out of water that I'd be still feeding cattle inside until June the next year, I'd be in the looney bin!

I posted the last two posts from the PC and have to say it's easier post the photos directly from the smartphone. Took me a while (and some patience!) to figure out imageshack on the PC and as well as that it's not as easy resize and crop the photos on the PC.

With the smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S2) it's very simple:
1. With the photo open click on "share via"
2. Select "photo editor" from list
3. Crop and resize - both very easy
4. Click on "share"
5. Select ImageshackDroid from list (must be already downloaded from google play app store)
6. Click on title when it's done e.g. "2013-05-18 21.02.32.jpg"
7. A list of URLs are displayed with a copy or share button beside each one. Copy the Forum URL.
8. Paste into post on boards
9. Done

It looks like a lot of steps but the next step is always obvious. On the PC I'd to fiddle around a good bit to get the same result. I'd have hated to learn on the PC as it just isn't as intuitive as the smartphone.

Downloading 3MB pics on the smartphone is a pain in the h*l* so resizing them to around 300-500KB is the way to go;)
