Only too short. Height restrictions are for the aer corps pilots

Saw an army convoy on the motorway out of Shannon this evening. Three of the wheeled tanks bombing along the road lots of camouflage! Not seen such hardware out that way since George W Bush visited!

I was looking for a few jam jars today. There's something shocking wrong in the food industry when its cheaper to buy a jar of carrots or marmalade than an empty jar.

Have a 17 year old supposed to be dry cow getting sick to calf here now I think and she is absolutely huge, could be a fun night yet because I have pulled a few whoppers out of her before and she was never this big. Also it was late enough when I spotted she was in calf so has a lot more condition than I'd like. Got a call to go at silage in the morning to make matters worse

I'm sure you know yourself Limestone, don't leave it too late to call a vet if you're not sure. A CS & live calf is a lot easier on the mind and wallet than a dead calf or a downer cow.

I've seen it over the years, the cow you get all worked up and worried over often gets on the finest.
She's sick to calve, you're there with her, that's a good start anyway.
Best of luck with her & be sure to let us know how ya get on.

I saw an Ad on the TV there for Always Discreet.
The next time I see women dancing I'll be wondering are they bursting for a slash!
Don't us men have little to deal with.

uncle of mine went to visit elderly bachelor, the camp would be rough enough at the best of times but he brought the little terrier with him for the walk.. no sooner had they both gone in the door when the dog took for the bedroom and the rumpus started above in the room.... Old boy jumps up and closes the door on them, and turns to the uncle and says cool as a breeze "you can go if you want but id like to hold onto that fella for the night!"


feckin rat above in the bedroom... could you imagine bedding down for the night and the dog doing laps of the bed after a big guzzler of a rat ;-)

Years ago, the auld lad took his elderly aunt up to visit relatives, a good 3hr drive away, and while there they said there was a mouse around the kitchen for the last few weeks and dammed if they could get it. Anyways, as he was leaving his aunt home, he noticed her reaching down to her coat pocket and heard a faint crunch and the aunt say I must phone them tomorrow and tell them I found their mouse

Interesting the way he separated the cows with bull calves from the cows with heifer calves into two groups

Why not finishing them ?

Has a fella to come buy them out of the yard. Better trade for the golden chx as a weanling. It's the system that works for him

Buys in replacements too to keep it simplified

Does be too interested in the cost of the replacement once it's the right heifer. Heifer has to be in calf and calving down before Christmas to join into his compact calving system.

Gave her a bit of time and she calved herself to my surprise. Fine lump of a bull calf. Saved me a job anyway!

A cow called Daisy

Was told bit one time about what happened years ago at 'the trashing' at a house.
The men were all in at the dinner -spuds, butter and maybe some bacon. The butter, homemade of course, was gone a bit rancid and one of the men threw the bit of this butter to the dog who was lying on the floor when he thought that the woman of the house wasn't looking. However she saw the dog out on the yard eating the butter and starting giving out and asking who gave the good butter to the dog.
"I'm sorry Mrs. but that butter was gone off" said one man.
"It was not" she said "that butter tasted perfect this morning. Sure if it tasted that bad the dog wouldn't be eating it"
"Ah, but look at him now" says yer man "he's out there licking his a**e trying to get the taste of it out of his mouth"
