My grandmother on my fathers side reared 7 and bossed the farm for the bones of a decade while my grandfather was in a Sanitorium and did most of that as well after he returned in poor enough health.

She was a farmer, not a woman farmer, and was treated like any other farmer.

She was one tough cookie though:D

My dad was helping a farmer fill out some forms, sitting at the kitchen table in the farmhouse. Going through expenses etc to see what could be claimed and how to work out a pension.

All the while this was going on the farmers wife was cleaning out ashes, feeding children, helping with homework, feeding pigs and hens, collecting eggs, making a tart, putting on the ham and peeling spuds, then drawing in timber for the open fire, and making more pots of tea with fresh scones. She never stopped for a moment.

Anyway as Dad was asking about dependants and if the farmer had previously had a PAYE job off the farm at some stage to see if any stamps were worked up I guess.

Anyway, Dad asked if the wife had worked a PAYE job.... the farmer said “oh no, she never worked a day in her life”.

Say my name

Grass discussion group I'm kind of a member of only has one female farmer out of sixteen.

A good few years ago when I was in ag college. There were three female students out of ninety strapping ag students.

These famous female farmers keeping the show on the road might be out there but they must be staying at home??

Collected me "piece of paper" at graduation today in Mountbellew Ag College

Young lads in bed. Time to crack open a beer.

Twas very sad one of the lads, l wouldn't have known him well, but he passed away since finishing the course. His wife and 2 young kids collected the cert on his behalf. Not a dry eye in the house.

I'm the only female in my KT meeting …… the rest were inclined to try and get me to do the filling out of questionnaires etc when we were doing various activities. Our advisor put a stop to that before me!

Hey Lobster, what's up. Ya, must have watched every video at this stage. He (Jordan Peterson) always seems to hit the nail on the head with his arguments.
I'm starting to watch Joe Rogan podcasts now aswell.

Interesting article, I’ll be reading more about their enterprise.

Obviously we all can’t do this style of change but I do beleive that we can all do something to improve biodiversity on our land. Given the chance nature recovers and with enough effort biodiversity loss can be reversed.

Saw another article about that farm somewhere. The set up is something else - more like a safari park!. Must see if I can find it ...

I see where Damian O Reilly breached "the declining role of women" subject on farms this morning.

Succession, partnerships are also included.

Looks bad for donkeys.......in terms of cap grant aid, donkeys can only account for 50% of the livestock units for grant purposes and there was me looking to buy a load of donkeys

Donkeys got a sucker punch there during the week!! Only for the sanctuary’s input And welfare issues sounds like they’d cut them out altogether but can only make up 50% of L.U requirement from 2020

You'd want to be careful about what you're posting now if not already.

Even in this country I see some pig farmers are getting dogs abuse on social media. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that a similar stunt won't be pulled here.

Why arent the police arresting these people? If that’s not trespass then I don’t know what is

I bet you if 200 of us went up and invaded the google buildings in dublin it wouldn’t be long before we’d be seeing the inside of a cell

Trespass is only a crime if there's another crime commuted at the same time. So if someone walks into your sitting room a starts watch in tele they haven't committed a crime

I read the article - funnily enough its the usual suspects. How yer man with a criminal convictions from Australia was again allowed back into the UK to stir up this ****e is beyond me. He is all over YouTube calling for eegits to target farms in the UK especially dairy farms. The only thing us to stand up to these fekers and dont give them an inch. The law needs to be much more proactive with this minority of extremists.

Trespass into a persons house is a criminal offence as it is part of the curtilage of your home.

However lands etc are treated differently with regard to trespass.

Could they go into a yard and chain themselves under a large and very shiny slurry tanker?

Farming is tough enough as it it without having to deal with those looneys. Could be the straw that breaks the camels back in some cases.

Hopefully it's the wheel they chain themselves to or if it's the FILs yard just let out the limos bet they wouldn't be long moving then

I find it unusual that such a small percentage are making such an appearance. Like what's said before if that was any other industry the police would be very heavy handed

One of those days today, heifer calved unexpectedly, all sorted now, wouldn’t mind but I was up at 1:45am and 6:30am checking ewes but didn’t go into shed. Was filling up with diesel for the week when I realised I’d put in €11 euro of petrol:mad:, was thinking I’d need to get some beastings etc etc etc basically not paying attention. Anyway rang buddy who is a mechanic and he said fill her up with diesel and keep topping her up every evening. No damage ✅ by the way don’t anyone tell me otherwise .

Heifer not inclined to let calf suck but will do so in the crush so will have to do again around 10pm and then to bed:rolleyes:

L1985

I had six calves out with their mothers but it's so miserable I decided to bring them in. 5 out of The six were shivering and were soaked but I still had to chase them up and down the hill as they didn't really want to go in. Herding calves (2-4 weeks) is like herding cats!!! And to top it off i ended up slipping on the concrete. Great to have them in thou as there was some temp drop. so saying it's only 5 years that we have them in calving-before that they were always out and apparently were fine!

A friend phoned me one night telling me he put petrol in his lorry back about ten miles and then he stopped near here for tea, left the engine running and when he went to move off after the tea it would only tick over, so he was going to drain the most of it and asked me to bring diesel, when I got to him I nearly couldn't see him with the smoke,
He got home after anyway

I’m an expert at it. Twice I filled the car with petrol- once cut out and other chugged along.

Some mechanics tell you to put a few quid of Petrol rather than the additive to clear out the injectors.


On another note- I started back running in January- oh had no problem dropping the lads and making time for herself so I decided to do the same- have 147km walked and run since and targeting 30km per week and I’ve 4kg lost- another 15kg to go but that will come.

Have a re interview for job that was appealed on Tuesday- hard to get motivated with it.
