If it can be put on a pallet a courier company will move it for small money. Try tuckmill transport in Enniscorthy. They are part of the pallet network and will put you on the right track. Mate got a wagtail home for around €80 a while back.

How heavy is it and what area is it? In the past I've found that it's cheaper to get the UK seller to get quotes from courier at their end than getting a quote here from the same company!

I got ace transport to collect from High Wycombe, think it was 80

It's this one 290 Kgs and bigger than a pallet. One lad wanted 600 for it as reckoned it was 4 pallet sizes.

Was planning max 400.

Mine was priced at 200 kg, smaller though.

Walk up, all eyes open and rolled back, tounges hanging out, cow has a leg in the air. Look down no movement. I make a little noise, three heads look up at me a little disgusted looking that I woke them. Feckers!

Good deed of the day done at lunchtime. Heading to town centre to post some BVD samples and about 7 young bullocks on the side of the road. Two or three cars just passed them and kept going so I stopped up, flashers on, hopped out and managed to get them back in without much fuss. Let the guards know then and they were going to contact the landowner and try and fix up the gap. I am in the office gear and a lad in a van behind me shouted to me' You'd make a handy farmer.'

Had to do the same one night in pure darkness but was in the farmer gear. Got some amount of abuse from drivers passing by even tho they weren't even my cattle.

My OH and myself were coming home from town late one night around 2am and came across some bullocks on the road about a mile from home. So we went into the nearest farmers house and said it to him but they weren't his.

So the 3 of us went onto the next neighbours house and knocked for a few minutes until the lady of the house appeared at the window to see what the racket was about.

She came down and opened the door for us, her in a rather short nightdress and invited us in. We explained the story and she said they sounded like their cattle and said to wait while she got the hubby. Down again, still in the nightdress, and proceeded to make tea for us all.

After about 10 minutes, the hubby arrives and we all hop into the car and head back up the road with flashlights and drive the cattle home.

More tea had to be had, herself still in the nightdress, and after a bit of chat, the first neighbour said he'd cross the fields home and the hubby goes with him to say thanks and give him the torch.

The lady of the house then explains the reason for the long delay in the hubby coming down. He wears a headpiece and refuses to be seen without it so it had to go on and be fixed in place before he would come down to sort the cattle.

Tbh, I wasn't half as shocked by that news as I was by the nightdress:D

Lol. That sounds like the start of a Myles na gCopaleen short story

One rescue was executed on the old main Mallow to Cork dual carriage way.

Thoroughbred horse in the middle panicked out of its mind with idiots blowing their horns at the poor animal.

Had to put the jeep sideways with the hazards on and managed to get the horse through a gate way into a stubble field. Rang the guards with the location as there was no house nearby.

Some people are just idiots ...

kinda reminded me of a story re a batchelor farmer who used to visit a couple years ago, your wan fancied this fellow and in spite of showing a bit of skirt and dropping hints if they were alone nothing ever happened.

he was more interested in her home made brown bread, but was always only offered 1 slice with the 'tae'

one night the husband excused himself and said he had to check a heifer in the far meadow and would be back in half an hour or so

herself opened a couple of buttons on the blouse and leaning forward said,

"Johnny now's your chance"



So Johnny scoffed the entire cake at speed.

Have a bull weanling that was small and bunty so I left him entire to see if he would grow a bit. Found him this morning working hard at the rear end of my ancient (very ancient, 31+ years!) mare. She had a long suffering look about her. Chased him away to feed her and back he arrived to continue his hopeless task! Phoned the vet to make appointment to separate him from his tackle! Serves me right for feeling sorry for him. He's in field with several in-calf cows so obviously the horse was the best bet in his befuddled brain.

Was looking on DD at vans earlier as I’m still toying with idea of changing the jeep for a van.

Saw a nice one with a commercial motor dealer on Cootehill I’ve mever dealt with but been warned off a few times. Ad was 14 days old so I presumed it was maybe sold. Messaged a query and got a reply within an hour and all seemed good.
Back onto DD but couldn’t find the ad, eventually found it renewed and price increased by €1000 from €7750 to €8750. FFS !
Thought it was awful bad form.

Hope you rang him and told him where he could stick his van, and why.

What a flute. It will be there for another 14 days. My patrol failed the test this year and couldn't be welded again to pass. I picked up a Mercedes vito to get me going until a reasonable priced decent secondhand jeep comes up (if there is such a thing) I love the van much and find it a lot handier than the jeep for getting in and out of. 3 seats aswell

6 bullocks decided to go through a fence this evening and go down a hill through head High gorse and scrub-they wander around for a bit leaving tracks everywhere and then hop into the Neighbour’s field. Other 18 stayed where they were. I spent an hour trying to track them down and I’d say I’ve thorns everywhere! What beat it all was the field they broke into had less grass then the one I had them in-I was slightly insulted! Got them home anyway and they can stay in the yard for the night!! Well earned cup of tea!!!!

Being watching a heifer for a young relative for over 2 weeks now,as she's bagged up that long. She' a BB he bought and in-calf to a Lim stock bull. Worried as I think it may be a section. Coughing like mad here with a touch of the flu. Not looking forward to that call in the middle of the night.
