28 days I think from memory. But as Reggie said, if your rushes are long it's hard to spot them all :-)

I think it 21 days , but sure cant you just match up the dates to have him around that age anyhow . If you register him now online and apply for a movement permit online straight away think will it let you do it with the rest . It would only be a matter of waiting a few day for the card then

i think you have 21 days to tag and then the 7 days extra for reg, 28 days is stuck in my mind for some reason

What drives me mad is being directed out of your own gate by travelling salesmen. A woman is no good to them. Happened me last wknd and i pulled up in the gateway to ask them what they wanted. Replied that himself was lookin for a nut cracker! Told them he wouldn't be back til late. When they were gone i locked the gate. if i ever win lottery going to get electric gates!

What I do is pull out the mobile phone and take pics of them and their vehicles.
They love that!

Only got a visit the once from them. They called in to the yard and after a bit of a chat, he wanted to know what I did for a living. Informed him I farmed part time and was in the gardai. Well he left very shortly afterwards and haven't seen them since

Had them round the wife's uncles place a while back "to replace the gutters" Pushed him into it as he was on his own on the farm at the time and then they got run by the neighbours half way through the job, then the neighbours rang me. Had to get the gutters redone after them. :mad: Wish I had been there at the time I can tell you.

How's the ryegrass and crimson clover coming along Mahoney.
That ryegrass in the pic was planted last Oct and grazed until Xmas eve. Two cuts of silage have been taken and this is the third cut. It will be ploughed and planted with maize next week. The clover was goosed after the first cut.

Ye its gotten very big just for that kind of messing. I don't mind seeing nice cars done up well but its mainly lads in altezzas doing all them donuts.
I went up the mountain on the first morning but didn't bother for second day. Too long if a trek after a night drinking

In bed sick as a small hospital here, and wasn't drinking over the weekend either. Had to come home from work and hit the leaba. I'm such a bad patient too.
I feel like an auld dairy cow that broke in to a tonne bag of meal and gorged on it.
And yes, before any cheap jokes are made, standing behind me would be a risk

Careful when tedding as you could lose some of the leaves. The leaves are where the protein is.
How many kilos per hectare of grass and clover did you plant ?

Just an update on this morning. I had an electrician working around parlour and had told him the story. I went off herding and the voyager landed back in the yard. The electrician was cute enough and told yer man he wasn't wanted. Fecking bastards, god knows what the lad might of gotten up to if the electrician wasn't about.

Lol, where's the hardship & drudgery? Very good idea for lifting heavy rocks which are often in the way. Drop it onto an old car bonnet and away with the quad.

Easy find the lads with machinery and trafficable land on here :pac: :P

We usually do the first cut in 2 goes about 10 to 14 days apart. If this weather stays broken it'll all come in together. Got the mower out and replaced blades. Greased her up and ready to pounce........ got most of them showers too.
