Would it be a deal breaker if Moy (for example;)) were to insist on wearing them on the job?
Just the wellies now?

just do it

Cycled the Greenway today from Westport to Achill with the kids behind in trailers. Fantastic day out and I'd highly recommend it. This is the way forward for Irish tourism and a great boost for disadvantages rural economies. Can think of a similar suitable route at home!

That's a great spot to cycle. It's a real growth sector, the number of lads now out on bikes is great.

I'd expect Moy or any self respecting farmer would not be seen dead in a pair of pansy boots like that.

Apologies for the sexist photo, but no I am not posting a female one to balance it out!

Yup. I've gone abroad twice for cycle trips and what's on our own doorstep is just as good if not better. And I'm not even a cycling enthusiast, just someone who likes an activity holiday.

Would you chance the trailers on the main road with the kids ? The greenways will be great for the tourism and ourselves to use

just do it

No. Irish roads with their blind bends and Irish motorist's distain for cyclists would make it too risky.

One of my own cows repeated at 12 weeks this morning. Feck it. She's for the chop out of here but I don't know whether to sell her as a springer or a dry.

Anyone got a crystal ball?

If you bull her, you could end up keeping.
Best thing is let go dry & with a little you could get 1 with calf at foot

No she's definitely going. Thought about it and while she's a good breeder & has a great tight bag & motherly cow. She is wicked in the shed to other cattle & can't be handled much (if at all)
Called AI man earlier and as I need to pay him for last time, I will do her while he's out. If she holds, great. Although she'd be calving at an awkward time for the next (wo)man it won't be my problem.

Depends on a lot of things how big is it are there mortgages, new folios to take offf etc etc. Most solrs will start at €1000 unless its very straightforward. Theres also land registry fees of a couple of hundred plus stamp duty of 1% unless exempt. Ring around a few local firms and see.

We'll see how AI goes. She's a great cow but a bit daft for my liking. I don't think there's any sense behind keeping a looney cow that makes the rest run. Perhaps it's best that she repeated!

i dont care how good she is, if i walk into the field and one takes off in the opposite direction then, that is the end of her

i havnt time for chasing them

Well she's not crazy crazy, but we like to be able to walk up to our cattle in the field. She can be handled in the pen and isn't wicked but can't be touched in the field.
Ch bull on her now anyway!

Will you soon be cutting? Bales or pit? Growing over a month here, will leave a few weeks yet. Bales. Could nearly chance selling all on last years usage but then I think of previous year:eek:

Base price

OH and I moved cattle up the country for a neighbour this morning. Decided to call into Carnaross on the way back. We hadn't intend buying anything but came home with twelve :eek:
Four calves, 3 bb heifers and a bb bull and eight Fr weanling bulls

You're after reminding me what I saw today. I was in a river, standing in about 18" of water and I look upstream 20 yards ahead of me at a cattle drink and down trots a hare and camly swims across the river. Shook himself off when he landed and trotted off.
