That's a super looking KZH calf, pity it's not a heifer. KZH looks like a very good bull, will you use him again?

For sure, he'll be going on the same cow again and probably the cow that has the blonde heifer this year (which is the grandmother of that KZH calf actually :pac:)
Doesn't matter that he's not a heifer, pb bull with stars will sell just as well

Just shows the difference in thinking, if that happened here you'd have lads running around like headless chickens trying to round up as many tow ropes and straps as they could get,still tho I wouldn't like to be paying the rescue bill

Now come on. There must have been ten of them to take a single cow out of a five foot pit. It's not bloody rocket science. I seen a farmer get three out of the bottom of an eight foot tank with only a clown to hold slings.

If you're not the farmer in question does that make you the guy holding the slings?

He has a point though, it isn't rocket science.

A neighbour and his son had to do 15 out of a tank 2 years ago, a ****ty but manageable job.

Oh I agree.

On your neighbours, don't you think they should have taken some measures to solve the problem after the first few went in. Manageable but avoidable.

They all went in the same time, well the same night.

So how did they put the lifting straps on. Here we usually go around the neck and pull straight. But that's pulling up out of trenches full of water and sloped sides.

North West Cork.

Beef for me, If an animal was grazing the driest field here in Feb. it was because I didn't close the gate, same for March most years.

At the moment, there is not a cow out even for an hour in any of the neighbours or wider than that, there is great grass though.

I recall seeing data once that we get about double the rain of the east coast. I'll be buying bullocks cheap off ya in 2050, fatten them in the moist hills of North Cork as the drought kicks hard, bring on global warming.

But don't blame me if they tear it up.:D

Tricks of the trade.
Backfences, multiple gaps, fencing off soft patches, roadways and a few hours grazing is getting them out.

That said I have let out some cull cows fulltime to finish up a bit on grass and a bit of barley.

I was away for a few days oup Northen and the mulcher arrived while I was away. It does a topping job (pun intended ) and already have orders from a couple of men to do theirs. Accidental job on the side :pac:










Oh and there was a hedge here when I left Thurs morning, parents are away so dunno why it disappeared all of a sudden :eek:

I thought that was going to turn into "The Blair Witch Project" from the start of it.
But the birds rescued the situation.:)
