A hat? What sort of a hat does a man wear with pj's and a dressing gown?

Probably a hard hat in case you cut up rough :-)

My thoughts are with you having to deal with such a crisis :rolleyes:

Is it all farmers or just my bf that say they'll only be chatting to someone for 5 minutes but instead it's 2 hours later and 4 bottles of miller before they finally decide to leave?

Maybe I'm being unreasonable but I'm angry! I knew what I was getting into in terms of long hours working but not chatting for most of the evening instead of getting dinner! Grrrr

There's times I can chat away, thought I'm not the most social, but I think I'd have the consideration to take a significant others feelings into account. I'd be cognisant of leaving the good woman hanging on and she me.
I don't think it's anything to do with being a farmer. It's simple a little cop on. Though betimes, it seems to me that cop on is in short supply!
You've, from memory, raised other issues here about your bf. From the outside looking in it appears to me that he takes you for granted. We all have busy times, and times when other things are an absolute priority but most of us know that there a balance to be struck.
There's only one side of the story being told here, but what I'm reading is that the work/ life balance here ain't what it should be.

Still, you're angry now. So now ain't the time to be making any rash decisions.
Have a good think about it tomorrow in the cold light of day.
Best of luck!

Does he realise ye are stepping out together?

KatW4

Ha he realises all right, he's been sucking up to me ever since. It's not that he takes me for granted, he just can't say no to anyone! He's very awkward around people so hates saying no in case it looks rude.

I don't mind when I can join in but I don't understand or have any interest in hydraulics, pto's or horse power of a tractor. I try to pay attention but it's just not for me unfortunately.

I'm not so angry anymore anyway! I've calmed down
I'm enjoying the extra tea and things though, maybe I'll get breakfast in bed!

Thanks for your kinds words

I told the girl that this was the first calf to be registered in the herd since 2007 and she confirmed it. She said that we needed a different tagger from the one that we used to use but suggested that we could borrow one from a neighbour considering that we only had the one calf to tag, which was nice of her. She didn't try selling me a new one.
In fairness she did not say that we would receive them next week. I presumed that we would as we normally get replacement tags a few days after ordering them.
How long are you allowed before sending in the BVD sample. The calf was born last Saturday night.
Also how much is the BVD test including p&p. Will probably go with Enfer.

Technically the BVD tagging should be done in the first 7 days & sample sent within next 7 using a €1.10 stamp.
Sadly had to wait up to 28 days for tags here once, so when you receive the tags just do straight away.
You can preorder the test on the Enfer site for €3.60 per test

I've a stupid question. Just after looking at my maps and noticed that two fields have green cross hatching on them. MY SAC have yellow dotting and monuments are blue circles. I can't find what the green hatching stands for. Anyone know, thanks?

Good man orm0nd, I don't think she made the Indos rich list alright but you have to hand it to her for initiative, she might make it next year

Guy that rents land here has a few stock men that put weak lambs in half a 1 gallon bucket of water with slot cut out for their head. Pour in hot water leave under lamp/front of stove inside as reckoned hot lamp dehydrates too fast.
Swears by it.

I never ever ever ever want to worm cats again. Planned to do my own guy today, but Mum wanted hers done. Grand stufff. Then my auntie asked for hers to be done and one needed Liquid paraffin.....


My poor arms!!!!!! Give me fifty heifers any day. They have no claws.

I feel for you. I've delayed going into the dairy assurance scheme because I can't find any way to catch and dose 10 feral cats down on the farm.

Maybe the assessor can demonstrate just how to do it....

Nationwide would be worth watching at 8pm on rte +1. First part is about top german restaurants using only irish beef and raving on about it. Then a bit about a dairy/cheese maker where my mate Bruce Springsteen bought all of his product from a shop when in Dublin.

When you catch them wrap them up in an old towel with just their heads showing. They can't get to you then and have no option but to take the medicine

Or just stick them in a bag with a stone!!

Did any of ye over come across a newborn calf that can't dung lads. Had one born 2 nights ago and tubed 2 litres into him straight away and another 2 litres at 1 o clock yesterday. Was going to feed him lastnight and he was like a ballon so I left him and brought him to the vet this morning. She handled him and said that he hadn't passed his first dung yet and tubed liquid parrifin and a concoction of other stuff into him but reckoned there is a problem that there's some part of the lower intestine not fully devoleped and that more than likely he won't do. A bit sickened because it's the first calf this year aswell!
