Backs after going on me.... have fencing to sort, pens to clean out, silage to be fed....and I'm having to lie down for a bit. V frustrating!! Don't know how dairy men cope! At least dad can do the emergency jobs and I managed to dose the calves!!

My dog has had to go for another transfusion today,
Bled out nearly over night, even stole the other dogs food dish last night at six oclock
So she wasn't in bad form then
I don't think I'll transfuse if she hemorrhages again

You need the transfusions to buy time to let the bone marrow recover. Modern rat killers are very good at what they do.......

Keep her inside where she won't be knocking herself about to start small haemorrhages.

Did someone say that at 87.5% the animal is considered pedigree - or did I dream that up? Only asking coz I have an incalf heifer who is 88% angus and a year old who is also 88% angus. If that is correct can you tell me if it is possible to get them registered? I'm thinking of life after BDGP and as well as the herd of donkeys I might keep the best of my cows/heifers and get rid of the lesser percentage angus cattle. The rest are nearly all 75%+, so it is possible I will have another couple in the future. The older of these two is genotyped and the other is on the list for this year.

To register the calf the cow has to be registered so there is kind of a loop. You could sell them to a dairy lad as pbnr,they dont want a piece of paper

Wouldn't be normal procedure to have a round chambered, would it?

I read somewhere there is a Spanish proverb about gun safety "The devil loads your gun once a year".

Thanks for that, it makes sense and the other dog is very boisterous and rough,
She catches her by the collar and drags her off down the fields, will keep them apart for a couple of weeks now.

I was following that elsewhere during the week. There's quite a number looking for a website with activists names and addresses to be published and their homes to be similarly targeted and I would have to agree with them, tbh.

Had our annual visit from the hunt, told not to enter the land, concession agreed if dogs went in, hound master only could go in to get them out, anyway as I watched four entered after the dogs with the other 60+ waiting to see how the first 4 got on. I shared my views with them and at one stage the hound master said he don’t know what was agreed, yet the guy who came and agreed it was one of the four, they started apologizing and saying how sorry they were...every year the same shyte, they were only sorry that they were caught. The arrogance of these guys really pisses me off. :mad:

I'm pretty sure some of these self confessed vegans just do it for attention and to feel they've joined some kind of "club" or cult or whatever.
It fills a void in their lives.
Either that or they're just nuts to begin with.

Case in point look down at the responses to this tweet and look at the profile and posts of the vegan responder.

Was getting a take away this evening from a good local place. There was a phone order in for a vegan meal, the caller told them how everything was to be cooked and in what. Was a long call, nothing seems to be easy with the vegans

This coincides with vegans publishing the names and addresses of farmers and dairy farmers in Australia and the UK using Google maps.

Project Calf pulled together the exact locations of more than 9,000 dairy farms on Google maps, advising its followers to ‘expose the atrocities of the dairy industry through citizen journalism, peaceful protesting and outreach’(sic).

The (UK) Government’s data protection watchdog is investigating after the details of every dairy farm in England and Wales were exposed by a vegan group .

See:
https://www.fginsight.com/news/news/farmer-fury-as-vegan-group-project-calf-publishes-map-of-uk-dairy-farms-78652

I'm sure there's serious issues here with GDPR and data privacy. These cnuts are taking intimidation and harassment just one step to far over the line ...

Thankfully the local hunt here are nothing like that. They have a good reputation going back a fair few years and its fairly tightly run tbh. They dont go where they dont have permission and there more than a few farmers and landowners who are members. Kinda keeps things on an even keel. Dont think its correct tarring them with the same brush. A bit like when our vegan friends claim all farmers are the same imo ...

I'm sure they actually have to disclose what information they have about you if you request it.

Edit: You may have to request in writing and they have 30 days to comply. But meeting your request sooner wouldn't be a breach either.

Most dishwashers would have a warranty of at least 2 years. So maybe you shouldn’t be paying for a new one. I bet he’d be able to tell you how long you had it if you claimed it was less than 2 years.

I was going to post this a few weeks back but was too angry. Hunt came on to our land with no permission and unfortunately when I was in the pen with the bullocks. I honestly don't know what they did but all of a sudden every animal went absolutely mental and I had to jump for a gate and thankfully didn't get a kick in the head. Went ballistic at them -they had an awful attitude. The next day a second hunt came through no permission and today a third hunt was blowing that bloody horn looking for beagles and driving the animals out cracked. I've reached the end of my tether with them as I have repeatedly asked to be informed as due to the layout of the land I know they will end up near us so I need to know and I can at least put the animals out in. I have never met a more entitled arrogant shower of .......honestly don't remember losing the rag so much with ppl either. I was shaking I got such a fright with the first hunt and absolutely tore stripes off them. Only got an apology off the first hunt when I postes on their FB page as well!!

To be fair gozunda, I didn’t tar all hunts just our local one, there is another one that’s passes every Christmas and never an issue, we lost ewes and lambs a few years ago when despite NOT giving them permission they went into the land and drove heavy inlamb ewes all over the place, on another occasion again due to stock on the land they were refused permission, again they entered and when told to get out a number of them told my father to f’ck off. I really can only speak to this one hunt which is a quite large and well known one.

Yeah I knew that - that was a general point only to end only. I was giving experiences of the one in this area. Which is fairly much the opposite imo. I think there is a different system around here. Theres is only one hunt to an area. So you wouldn't get others turning up tbh. Maybe we are fortunate. I do know there are eejits everywhere unfortunately.

Well we are plagued with them at the moment. My dad pointed out they mustn't be allowed hunt in other places which is why they keep coming down her. One out of the four is fine as they always call but the big hunt has an unbelievable arrogance about them. Even today the guy who lost his beagles and using that horn had serious attitude with me-he had to find his dogs and so what if his bugle thing was making the cattle run!! It is unfortunate as I've gone from being easy going about it to pretty much hardline get off my land!!!

Might not be the solution for you, L, but when they came in our direction, we eventually put up a single strand of heavy duty barbed wire on that bounds ditch, pulled as tight as we could. They never came back and the guys shooting in October don't seem to like it too much either.

MeTheMan

Are these hunts the traditional dogs tearing fox to pieces? Didn't think anyone do them anymore. Don't sound like a fun day out to me.

Never have them around here.
