Farming Chit Chat sallies Fourth

Puts a reed back in for a neighbour yesterday, but he insisted on letting the cow out to a field afterwards. Even worse, a field on a slope, have to go see how she is today, not calving for a month or so he says. Pity he's lost the AI cert of her too :pac: :mad:

Also realised I have a houdini horse, he's been letting himself out of the calving pen all yesterday evening and today. Even tied the bolt and he undid it
I thought at first he was jumping out as he's off a major jumping stallion but sat and watched him bite the bar and open it, then go over to the other calving pen and open that so he could go out the door!

The man is as stubborn as a donkey. He won't phone the AI man up with the tag as then he thinks the AI man will be laughing at him. :pac: Men!
I'll see if I can get it myself later on. She's not wild so I can get close enough to her in the field anyway. She even has a name as she was bought in.
Whelan's cow :pac: (I don't think she's yours though whelan)

If ya phone the office, the AI man won't even know about it, more the likely!

Ah timmaay I know what your saying but I have some great memories of days spent in the pub, back in the early 20s , pub with a few lads watching football, and gaa, backing a few horses and laughing all day,

I wouldn't class myself as a lazy beer bellied football fan, far from it but it was a some crack and would do it again in a heartbeat

we left pub at 10, there was music startinsting then, would say theres a few sore heads this morning, bar men where rushed off their feet, 3 pints of heineken 12.60, thought that was cheap enough

ok so it takes about 10 to 12 ltrs of milk from your bulk tank to buy a pint

when I was in my hey day on the high stool :rolleyes:, a gallon of milk would buy 2 pints of Guinness


just goes to show the way buying power has changed


another instance , 6 butcher's lambs would buy 300 gallons green diesel , now it takes 12 to 14

Ha well I guess I am painting everyone with the same bush, not all beerbellys ha, its still good having the craic with afew mates if its spent in the pub or out doing some sorta hobby, but I guess I was lucky that way, in that I have always had a sport of some sort, use to race motorbikes back in the day, some epic weekends away with serious riding and drinking afterwards, I had some friends who did the whole pub drinking thing and whereas I did it the odd time, having a sport instead was always my 1st preference.

Reminds me of the two best films I have ever watched Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources (spelling on both).

Loved those films. Watched them in French class to improve our Aural work.

The teacher forgot about the scene where she's dancing with a few clothes missing though :pac:

I'd question best films ever made but then again, I do have a lot of questionable ones on my HD!

Why are you putting a reed in a cow. Is she a saxophone?

You stick it into them and it allows you to knock a tune outta them like an accordian

Yea I am going to ring AI man today, I know he keeps the double section of the book himself, only problem is that I haven't a clue what month she was AI'ed so he may have a bit of a search. He carries straws from bova/dovea and progressive so I don't think they can help!

Ach you know what I mean, the end of the calf bed or whatever it is!:P

Ring the office they'll have all the info you need. All's ya need to tell them is the name/address or herd no. , she'll pull it up onscreen in a couple of clicks!

Really? What's your term for it? Actually I recall Bodacious having a cow this time last year that was at it. Wonder how she fared out in the end.
