Farming Chit Chat sallies Fourth

A cow called Daisy

Today is St. Swithins Day. Cub of a lad from year 950 or thereabouts.(not sure, he'd finished school when I started). According to legend about his burial

If on swithins day it does rain
For 40 days it will remain
If on swithins day it does be fair
For 40 days it will rain no more

Or something like that. Absolutely infallible. Who needs Evelyn Cusack or yon Ken Ring when ya hear that.

Bty the way grand day here in Cavan

Yeah, great job of a Saturday night, ramble home with a few pints of stout on board, wake herself up, hell for leather for 3 or 4 mins, roll off, sleep.
Great job! :-)

Rodger and out

Had a bullock with Brown snout, only coming round now after a course of antibiotics, had door to pen & of coarse he only saw it this evening when I was injecting, bit of a job getting him sorted.
Then moving fence & once cows noticed current was off they all turned into prize jumpers, doesn't rain but it pours

So how many times did you fall asleep and have your toenails painted?

.Kovu., the chat about adverts just make me wonder
'If a man you never met before suddenly gave you flowers"
or if some lad dressed in black ever leapt through the window with a box of milk tray????:D

Ahh no.
It would be hard to find a suitable shade for me.

The kids talked me into having my foot painted so they could make footprint photos. Oh god it was an awful feeling and with my flat feet it took a lot of paint.

Still waiting on a price for a McHale one and couldn't get through to the fleming guy

Got quoted 1100 for the Mchale in spring including vat. Cashel one is 1050. The prodig arms aren't made with box iron like the rest so it's meant to be stronger.

Don't rate the Fleming as it seems light

Trying to study all evening for an exam tomorrow afternoon and getting distracted with what is going on in F&F.
Reckon JDI is on the mark - I am a decade or two younger than even I thought

Clear herd test and finished our first flushing program.

11 eggs, 7 of which produced viable embryos. Pretty happy with that!

Over the years I have done some consultancy work for SME's on Quality Management Systems in particular ISO 9001:2008. I would set up their systems, procedures, document processes etc operational and ready for official NSAI (National Standard Authority of Ireland) auditor.
Basically I am upskilling and sitting exams to become an auditor.
With the way beef prices are I need to supplement income by returning to work.

Brought the kids body-boarding on Inch beach today. Great crack, turned out 20degrees and sunny.
What a stunning beach with a fab backdrop.

OH got a cream for her today in Oldcastle - he cannot remember the name.
She is eating some nuts and nipping at hay. She will only drink water if there is glucose in it, but at lease she is taking on fluids. Other than that there is very little change and the quarter is still blown up.
