Arnica creme/ointment/salve/tincture.
Arnica in any form works well.

Arnica or Aloe Vera are good but not recommended if the skin is broken.
Cold compress is best to reduce swelling (frozen bag of peas) but not directly on the skin. Wrap them up in a tea towel.

First cut of 2015 today. Decided against the pit and wrapped instead. Will probably go for a second cut again in a few weeks.....................the lawn that is:eek:

Spring is here:D

Hares are mad here today, nice sign of spring to see a huge hare that must be four or five years old chasing a younger one around the field

The diving rescue team were also out in force on the lake, training I presume! Should have gone out in the kayak and upended myself for the craic.

Was driving the lorry and heading into Galway late last Wed night and a big buck crossed the road in front with inches to spare.
Live Long and Prosper was reply when I passed him uninjured

I won't say where in fear of poachers but I seen a massive stag during the week late at night. I didn't get a chance to count the tines but easily the biggest head horns I've seen for a while.

It's about that time on a Saturday night.













There's definitely enough there to get the ball rolling.

The dogs are are giving tongue and on their toes tonight - foxes, hares or unwelcome guests

Kovu

Hmmm this may answer the question as to why the lady next to me at the butchers was asking for wild boar and venison....

By any chance were there organic butcher sausages too?

Bad morning today, phone rang at half seven, neighbours cow had her calf bed out. By the time I got there the vet was too and she was hemorrhaging badly. Nothing we could do, she was found too late. Calf was staggering round bawling his head off while his dam bled to death in front of him

Cheered up while feeding a couple of pet lambs of my uncles this evening, until one peed on me :pac:

Good to see your babysitting as good as ever

Babysitting? Lambs are way too fiddly for my liking. Cute though. And tasty

You'll sneak a few ewes into your farm yet, it'll be god helf your father when you put on the "daddy's little girl wants".
As for tasty, hard to beat a good cutlet

Kovu

Fencing isn't good enough for sheep!

Can you roast a lamb whole as you would do a hog roast?

You'd be surprised how easy it can be to fence (2ft under mains)
Seen it done, waste of good meat

Hedges here, not fences. Lots of little sheep sized holes :pac: Also lots of cow sized holes compliments of our Houdini cow.
