What's your favourite tractor........fendt.
She'd be hard kept

larrymiller

Maybe it's a good thing so. But them the oh will be enquiring about the money.
And as I learned here. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

Had tractor names as table names at our wedding. There were a few city folk who commented at the idea later in the evening. I asked which table they were at, the reply was "at the fe-dent table"
!

Base price

We all had to learn to crawl before we could walk. At least she had the cop on to ask rather than taking a risk and doing it wrong.
I know I was not too confident using a jack until I had jacked several calves.

Seems to have a good attitude in fairness to her and hopefully that will get her through the many ups and downs that we all know are associated with keeping livestock.

A tongue in cheek comment Base Price, she's a far better dairy farmer than I am! And no....no I have never drank out of a shoe:D

The exuberance of youth I suppose. I'd say it's easy enough to be made look something you're not by judicious editing.
She plays the Barbie roll, whether by her own or the producers design!

Probably producers influence for better ratings. To be honest I seldom watch reality shows particularly UK ones as they make me cringe

But I suppose the farming folk thought it was a Class idea. Was it a Case that the presents the guests brought were the Same or did some buy things they could not afford. Maybe yous went to Belarus on your honeymoon.
Was there Deere or Lamborgini on the menu.

I was talking to a lad in arrabawn and he said no bother to start milking
A mate was saying to ring back and tell him I had cows bought and was ready to start supplying in a few weeks and his tune would change . Might be just a tactic to make you feel grateful for them taking it !
Are you still going to start up when you had planned anyhow ?

Have Christmas songs stuck in my head all morning. Was going round Lidl humming Let it Snow and getting some very odd looks.

Was talking to a lakeland supplier yesterday and he was saying he's holding off signing their 3 year supply contract.. He said there is no mention of price which is putting him off signing... What's the incentive for lads to sign if milk price is left open ??

Too many show jumping charlies... and an even worse bull. It's usually a grand performance when we try and get them into the crush!
