Early greys run in my Dad's side of the family. That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it

I lost a lot of my hair with ringworm when I was 7. When it grew back it was very fine. No hairs on my arms or legs either. Think it's from having the ringworm so bad.

Kept tipping away these days- very few cows calves.

That job I had that was appealed, I got again in the second interview and it was appealed again- joys of public sector- anyone can appeal at anytime. Still waiting on results.

Back running after a cold- ran my first 10km in 6 years before work so happy with that- 62 mins a time I can improve on.

Going to buy 3 heifer calves to rear as replacements. I sold 3 heifers that had speckle park in their dna and I wanted to replace them. Any advice on setup etc would be great.

My mum is the same as you, no hairs on her arms & legs. Must ask if she had ringworm! I got it & proceeded to infect my brother & cousins :pac:

If you're buying in the mart, pick ones you like, take down their tags & look them up on the ICBF search to see if they have milky breeding.

Ye I was off school for ages. My brother was born and I wasn't allowed near him for a while. I remember going to a specialist in Dublin as I had it quite bad

Buying them off a farmer about 14 miles away-from talking to him, he seems interested in the breed.

It will be my first time rearing calves- I would have helped dad as a teenager with our own calves from the dairy herd but then we used have cows milk.

Nice article in the journal btw.

No but trims my eyebrows. There was a Turkish lad used to go to that used light up a yoke and singe them and ears. I kid u not.

Ah! I misread your post, thought you were going to buy in unknown. Rearing them from a private sale direct to you is much safer. I've not done it in years so I've no tips but you'll be fine. Also thanks :pac::D

Hard Knocks

We got an embyro implanted into a Heifer 2 weeks ago.
She's walking around with the tail out, so I'm thinking she's trying to discharge the embyro.
This started on Day 14 after implant but is going on for 2 days.

If anyone has experience, can you advise
Do I need to give her an injection?
Would she be suitable for another go?

greysides

I've no ET experience but I can't see slipping an embryo should cause much side-effects. Ring the vet who did it for you for their opinion.

Do people get ringworm anymore?

Yes, but normally on their arms or legs. I don't think it's very common to get it on your head. I must have been rolling around the sheds with the calves when I was young.

kollegeknight

Van broke down this morning- I reckon an injector or two. If too expensive I’ll get a car in its place.

His skin is weak and soft like a newborn, mine would be more leathery like and old shoe

Ah sure there was a couple of write ups on that boardsie. Journal must not be able to figure them out

patsy_mccabe

Had a guy doing some drainage here today. He was in the area doing a larger trench a group of us get done every 10 years or so (me thinks more like 15 now). I got him to spend today doing one of my own that wasn't done in at least 50 years. I had to go away and leave him at it, but told him what I wanted done.
Biggest regret is I didn't take a before pic. Savage the work he did in one day with a 15 tonne.

Tough year last year, I was amused this morning listening to tubridy talking about 'burnout' referring to people working 38hr weeks........... what must it have been like for farmers like Harold and others even here, 76hr weeks would have been a short week this time last year

Just back home.
Was a really good night. His new music blends seamlessly into his older stuff so it’s a real treat. He has some energy, but you can see he lives every minute of the gig.

He said it as it was, he really seemed to get to the stage that he couldn't go on,
I actually thought he was in partnership with his brother, but it came across last night as a one man outfit

Does anyone have bear claw Tyres on a quad?
Have a good set of ordinary but can get stuck in wet gap on the out-farm.
Was thinking of buying a set of bear claw for the back to put on for times & use standard for all other times.
Does anyone do this?

ganmo

Have bear claws on the quad here from new, if I get stuck stick it into 4wd and away I go again

Have bear claws on mine aswell. Didn't stick it since they were put on.

Any of the lawn fertilisers does a good kill on moss

sreading sulphate of iron on the lawn will kill moss too

Put plenty of washing up liquid on them.
Kneel on tyre, i put a vice grip on the rim and work around to it with a tyre lever.
There might be a bit of cursing on the first wheel!
