is today a holiday or not ? Seems some schools/ workplaces are off while others are not, our 2 schools are open

Normal day. Our school had planned to close but with snow days they had to go.
Just as well as we were both working anyway.

I might be a bit of a prude in this regard, but really don't like when people say paddies/paddys day. St. Patrick's day. (Not picking on you reggie, you just reminded me of it)

Had a bull with it a couple of years ago.
Vet injected directly into the throat. Gave us betamox la, dexameth and another injection to give him, cant remember what it was.
He faded a bit due to not eating well but made a full recovery.

I see the anti Farming brigade are out in force again.. Some of the comments are just unbelievable..

No they really aren’t providing my food.
I pay for my food myself in the supermarket, which can easily be imported.

fine job. I didn't see them tipping into a trailer though, you would need that in a big field.(although it shouldn't be an issue.) Would like to see it working on a tractor. next stop - ploughing match!

Kovu

Was coming out of the vets earlier in Mohill and two motorbikes absolutely flew past. Only seen there now on the news that there was a fatal crash with a motorbike on that road soon after that :(

1600t of maize meal fed/day Into 27km of feed troughs!!
185 workers.

Lmx out of lmx heifer born May 265kg €645 (stock bull)

The last lad just never pushed on, will be watching his mother again this year if she does not do the calf this year she will be for the chop. I had pictures of them over on the photo thread from earlier in the year

Good stuff Mac, the firsts calf must have been a fair animal. Have you used PCH much, he has a serious figure for milk, what do you think of him?

The first lad looked more like a bb than a lm. He was black aswell. The pch was a big pull from a heifer, used 4 maternal Bulls last year and got 4 bulls. He would suit a smaller butty cow as he is very leggy, but I can't complain.
