then putting on a 18ft dry bedded area onto the cattle shed. it may be used later in winter for housing a few overflows. Then next year will be used to store straw as it will be 18ft x 36ft all closed .

Use more tent pegs this time! Best of luck with it.

Was at it, was pure madness, nice sucklers, mostly young cows (a lot of 2011 cows) I'd say the average for the day was 1600 or so, didn't see much value in them tbh, only bought one old sim cow and calf and they were enough at 1100, goodish enough sucklers alright a lot of cows and calves weighing 1000-1100kgs, seen the combination for €2380 and was nice alright, smashing calf, show type calf IMO, a dealer from the west bought up a nice few there

I just found out from a colleague that I have to do a Safe Pass & Health and Safety course for the job that I am starting soon (contract job).
Does any know what these courses entail.
From what I can make out both are going to last a day each.

Its great to hear of youngsters out and about playing, not stuck in front of the telly with playstation/xbox.
Says the "holier than thou" woman who admitted to breaking a window and nearly knocking the head clean off a young fella with a turnip :eek:

whelan2

a few of the windows here are still single glazed, the new windows can withstand hardship. I suppose its handier to replace 2 rather than 1

There's a simarity between you and man utd so. They also got the glazers in.:D

Remember a story I was told by someone who works at a glazing firm. Pat came in looking for a bit of glass. He said the boys were kicking ball up again an old door making a racket and he went out told them to stop they'd break a window and kicked the ball away ha. It hit the window and put it in dung🙈

Yeap you are correct. Studies have suggested that elephants have the largest brain all terrestrial mammals and also they have the longest social memory.
However, since we humans are also mammals then I would like to think that some of us humans (females ) have gained the best parts, including long term social memory

I just had a quick look as to who is on line at the moment.
From my calculations there are 10 F&F members on line.
Reckon we will have to wait until the morning when one of the early birds kicks off F&F Chit Chat 5.
