Corvo Attano

Daniel7740

There lost without us lad!

Daniel7740

Mother just got a text and said "is that my text machine making noise" haha

Corvo Attano

Finally a productive day. Pulled a calf and applied for a job.

peekachoo

"boards will be crazy the weekend before results" :pac:

Corvo Attano

It helps if other people talk apart from me and Dan :mad:

Daniel7740

We're only spring calving ourselves.

Best feeling you will ever get is delivering a live healthy calf!




Ye would have >7000 post only for meself and corvo!

Corvo Attano

This was our neighbours one. Got a sandwich and a few cups of tea out of it so great success.

Two tickets for Jake Bugg... I win :P Fair enough, they're in no way elusive (the second night is yet to sell out like) but I still win >.> :P

The good tickets are all gone though, I checked this morning. Ah well, no one was gonna go with me anyway...

Neighbour was a happy man so. Best feeling when ya get a live one, but the worst feeling is when ya lose one. Shur that's how it goes I suppose!

The more I think about it, the less I want to go away from the farm to go to college

peekachoo

I feel your pain! Nobody ever wants to go to gigs I wanna go to :P

decisions

But Dan, I'm in dublin

Corvo Attano

How many sets of twins have ye had Dan?

Daniel7740

Only takes an hour and a half to get to Dublin in the car :P

You could come down here instead :P

Nearly always seem to get at least one set per year for as long as I can remember. This year we only had one set and the mother attacked me father. She hadnt enough milk for the 2 of them so one of them was reared by hand


I see your lurking around the farming and forestry aswell corvo haha

Corvo Attano

We've had 3 over the past 2 years. Its a bloody curse.

peekachoo

:cool:

Wish I could hibernate now until Wednesday. Hate waiting!

Daniel7740

If there alive and healthy it's an extra animal which means more money!

Can be a bit of a pain in the arse if the mother hasn't enough milk but hey, better than a dead calf!

This spring is probably goin to be our last time calving sucklers

Corvo Attano

It take a lot out of the mother and its a struggle to keep them going if the mother isnt big.

Our last set this year were lucky to be born to the strongest cow on the farm and shes fit to support both but the last two sets were a nightmare.

Its probably our last year for sucklers too. Just no money in them.

peekachoo

Wow what an interesting conversation



:rolleyes:

No money to be made in them at all, ya would struggle to pay the bills with them. Are ye heading to milk?

Don't lie peek you love farming talk


And at least were keepin the post count ticking over :P

Corvo Attano

Nah too small for that here. The plan is to buy fresh stock every year, raise 'em and sell em on.

Cut out the mothers and the cost of the winter.

Prodigious

I like civilisation

and ye wonder why nobody else ever joins in. :P

Corvo Attano

We established this early in the thread. If me and Dan are left alone you get farm talk. Add Nim for rugby.

Help us here.

I like civilisation

Its a very addicting game.

peekachoo

Nah. I'm gonna go catch up on breaking bad...:P

Corvo Attano

Bah. Useless.

Looks like well be goin into partnership with the neighbour. All is needed is a few more cows and a few cubicles to put in. Farms are already interlinked as he's renting land off us atm. With the land we have atm looking at bout 360 milking cows

OK, this has to be said:
Have ye seriously NOTHING to do other than post non sense here EVERY day?

Corvo Attano

Clearly you missed the part where I helped a cow give birth today.
