What weight would you think is a bale of silage. As in its heaviest possible weight within reason

800kg????

Depends, did it get 4, 6, or 8 wraps?

Shannonside/Northern Sound.
One of the most irritating stations & presenters in the known galaxy. Imagine every cliché and imbecile remark and catchphrase ever to come out of rural Ireland, and you're halfway there.
In fact, imagine Richie Kavanagh after a blow to the head.
I refuse to shop in places that have him on in the background.

The 'power hour' is my favourite. Every chart song title and artist pronounced funny!! You'd swear it was put on, but it's not!!!!

I usually read the Births column in the Saturday Irish Times. Never know anyone, but at least there is hope and happiness there, none in the deaths column.

Was saying to a lad in work today that I hadn't seen a calf born yet (8 of them), got in the door from work to get a phone call, cow sick two hours, only one leg coming, ended up pulling a long but handy heifer calf (on the last rung of the jack) and now I'm just back after helping a neighbour pull another calf. I've seen enough of the now.:D no more talking at work either in case I jinx the rest of them

I think the new lely tornado fixed chamber is making an 800 kg bale but im sure if a person went for the variable ya could makee a 1000kg bale easily.. but ya might loose the wrapper very quickly

I'd give that cow 50 mls of Betamax LA every second day for a week or so to prevent infection setting in.

Trampoline is causing me headache at the moment, she was three weeks asking me to bring it down from the home house and I hadn't time so the father said he would move it . He shoved it onto the trailer with the loader and warped it so now I have to try and fix it which I still don't have time for ! I hate the things

Does anyone know if medicines administered to sheep go in the animal remedies record in your herd register? Or is that strictly bovine only.
There's no place for it in the sheep flock register!

Am happy out now with the guy who does my scanning. He is from far side of carrickmacross. Was just being nosey

If my youngest lad came home from anywhere with a black eye, I'd be wondering where the corpse of the lad that did it was.
He's a tough young lad, with an explosive temper. I think he even frightens himself sometimes with his eruptions!

I wouldn't lose much sleep over something like that. Young lads can play hard and knock corners off each other. Once it wouldn't be a recurring theme I'd move on fairly quickly.

My elder lad is a quite lad but is a big long athletic sort so he doesn't get in any bother even though he's very quite.

No im not QA so no bb im afraid. If I can't put it in the back of the herd register then I can't put it anywhere. Unless make up my own book.
