In a similar sort of boat here. But can't get any of our cows bulling at all, some of them calved back in Jan!
Two options- 1- Buy/Rent out a bull (hesitant to rent, some of those bucks have been around)
2- Get a teaser bullock for the summer.

Sponging isn't really a viable after pricing and realising I'd have to bring the cattle in 3 times for it.

It's a pain alright. Hope it's nothing sinister, but at least if she holds now she'll still be calving at a good time.

I'm assuming they could be having silent heats as I can see swabs from them every so often, incl a bloody one there only a few days ago.

It can be very frustrating alright. You have dates now to be watching like a hawk at least. Ever try the scratchcards?

Well its just a home made jobbie we made a few years ago. It isn't ran off the pto it's off the tractors hydraulics. Not the strongest but it does all we need it to do.

Would going on Winning Streak help them though?


(but no, are they much use?)

Perhaps you could come across a Limo bull going cheap?

If you'd a big win you could buy a bull:)

I didn't really like the cards but I know some lads that had great results. You could tailpaint em either.

Did anyone else in the border counties express an interest in the Social Farming Across Borders? Got an application form this morning in the post, meetings in Fermanagh though so it would be far enough away.

Reggie.

Out in the yard with the father. We were looking at a tank for water and he was saying he wants to put a strainer on the top cap. I mentioned using a pair of tights, his reply "where would i get a pair of them. Sure nar a young one wears tights, it's bloody thongs this weather" nearly collapsed in the yard

eeeee

Aloe vera. The only job for burns. Get a plant for the house and break off a piece as required

There's a great burn gel that you get in the chemists.. forget its name, in a smallish white bottle... Takes the heat out and seals it over so the burn heals quickly...
