Full of hype and bull****. The rubbish that the commentators come out with defies all logic. Men in their prime collapsing at "contact". Honesty of effort seems to me to count for nothing.
A world cup of sub standard teams. With a bit of luck America or even Bosnia could have done as well as anyone.

You read my mind , I'd love a feed of porter this evening
I got the bull this evening , 2 cows jumped already . Hopefully he will have about 30 to bull over the next few weeks , would he want nuts or is he sound on grass ? He is in good condition and I don't want to send him back thin

Why are Irish drivers so ignorant. Went to out farm twice today with two loads if fert and two times egits tried passing me out in reckless ways and I've a cracked mirror as a result.
First time I was going around a bad bend and a lad tried to pass me out and I had to pull in so I wouldn't rip the side out of him and hit mirror off a branch then.
Second time I had a one drive right up behind spreader and I could only see the top of her car roof. Then I went to turn off and she didn't see me indicate because she was stuck behind be so far. Then as I slowed down to turn in she trys to over take me. On a crossroads of all places?
Nearly drove over her and her car was full of kids too.
Really peed off over stupid drivers who don't have patience

looking at the ahi bvd results there only 55% of positive calves born this year have been put down, compared to 81% last year, thats very disappointing imo, how can we get rid of it if people are still holding on to the shedders, or whats the point of it all

A one week amnesty to get rid of positives then notice in all marts on weighbridge that the farmer in question has PI calves on hand when his cattle are in ring and a notice on transfer forms on the agfood site for private sales would soften a few coughs. I'd go so far as to say that even if they get rid of animals having held them beyond the normal time needed for re-tests it should be noted in marts and transfer documents.

Especially so when I've had positive calf myself, got put down, no compensation and money to knackey ro remove.
Calves being more valuable this year not help.
Wonder did many herds hold onto more than one positive calf

I've no doubt its a hard pill to swallow..
BUT..
If lads don't knuckle down the whole process will fall appart... I'd agree with a previous poster about another section on the board in the mart.. Although the boards are busy enough as it is..

just a bit fed up of it now, the cost of the testing, disposal etc whats the point of the whole scheme if bvd will not be eradicated at the end of it

Totally agree, A bus of all things overtook me on one of the blindest bends imaginable a few years back on a fairly busy road, I don't know what he was thinking because if someone was coming against him they were dead and he blowing like mad doing it. I wouldn't mind but he hadn't been stuck behind me and I would always slow down and pull in tight on an open stretch of road to let traffic out when I'm in the tractor. There's some right tits out there. Similar things happened countless times. I know it's frustrating if you are stuck behind a tractor for ages but people need to cop on too including a lot of the lads driving the tractors that couldn't give 1 iota if there was a thousand cars stuck behind them.

Was there not supposed to be something that the knackery charge was waived in the case of a BvD positive calf?

Not sure, think there might of been something for second and subsequent calves. But could way of the mark
