Welcome Titanium:D I spennd a lot of time on the Uncles dairy farm in nth Kerry so Ill be cheering for ye in the final now:D after the dubs fecked up their chances in the tragic semi:o

Bitten & Hisses

Kerry man, mid thirties, married with one small boy. I work full time in the food industry and keep a few sucklers. My stock are either ped limousine, ped Charolais, or lim x Charolais, selling all stock as weaklings and the very occasional bull for breeding. I don't show any cattle, but I do some A.i to keep improving the breed, while promising that I will go into showing in the future. (Wishful thinking most likely:rolleyes: )
The farming side of my life has taken numerous setbacks over the past few years due to the increased workload due to my father passing away suddenly, financial pressure from making intra family settlements, getting married, building a house, horrendous weather in 2012, some ridiculously bad luck with livestock in 2011/2012 and a much more demanding career path. Hopefully getting out the other side now, but I reckon it'll be 2018 before everything is back where I want it. The above also explains why I rarely post here nowadays and why I only recognise a handful of the active posters :eek:

Count Mondego

Hello everyone,

Part time suckler to finished beef farmer in south Galway. Full time working in IT to pay for the pleasure of farming. Taken the reins of power this year and it has been a challenge but no complaints. Great forum but can be frustrating at times, hence not my first time here :-) Mid 30's with 1 sprog and another bun in the oven. As a friend said to me, "they're easy stock to get inta"

just do it

foxy farmer

Greetings. West Cork here. 40s. Single (not changing anytime soon!). Inherited farm and suckler herd back in the 90s. Learning as i go. Not born into farming reared in town. Electrician by trade but not in the business now. Sucking in the heart of intensive dairy country. Running 30-40 cows with all cattle finished for factory. Do my own building welding machinery repairs etc. Do a bit with contractor from time to time. Plagued with calls from people to fix or do things for them.
I have as I call a healthy distrust of all agri related businesses, be they co-ops milk processors meat factories supermarkets bord bia teagasc etc.
After 20 odd years at this crack would love to take a break from the cattle. Especially now seeing as factories are acting the maggot and moving the goalposts again. Would like to go at tillage(probably mad) or take a year off travel around and just take it easy.

Much as I appreciate the fun of the guessing games, if people re-reg we have to respect their reasons for doing so.

If we try to guess who they may have been as it diverts this thread. If they want us to know, they will eventually.

At this stage for one reason or another I don't think there is any poster with their original name!

This reminds me of that song that Brendan Grace did
Well ive got 20 acres and youve got 43
Well I've got a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key.
(Or words to that effect)
