Happy birthday lady.

Anyone for the tullamore show? Think I'll head to it and give the ploughing a miss. Although I said that last year and went to both. Not gone on the location of the ploughing atm.

Quick question again -
Relative asked me could he use my bull on one of his cows that was repeating today to AI. AI guy couldnt come tilll tomorrow and cow was standing today around 3PM. When we let her in at 6.30pm, bull was mad after her, but she wouldn't stand to him. We watched her for 15 mins and no joy. We decided to leave her over night with bull.
So, are we too late for the bull even though AI'ing would be ideal after 8 hrs after standing heat?

Took our 5 year old angus bull out from the cows last week, he was grand with them. We put him with in calf heifers on out farm. He is a total anti christ since. Has broken through a brand new 4 strand barbed wire and 1 strand electric fence twice, spends his day roaring and pacing along the boundary, never saw anything like it, I think it might be burgers if he doesnt cop on soon. Wherever the heifers are he is the opposite side of the field from them.

Got phone call this afternoon from dept inspector saying he is calling tomorrow for a random audit of measuring fields v maps. Anyone get one of these before?

A 2 year old bullock broke into one of our fields during the weekend. Guy who owned him was away, but said he'd take him out on Sunday. I was away at the Clare match, but left gate unlocked for him. Wall on the motorway side of the pen is low. Grand for sucklers but I warned him anyway. Yep, he jumped out and went 1/4 of a mile back the hard shoulder. Luckily he never went over teh yellow line and they got him back and into the pen again. So easy to cause a pile-up.

Ya it's the third year in Screggan this year so will probably change after that. I just find it a lot more cramped then the last place.
Seems to be more ****e at it then ever before. Last year we wanted to look at plastic sheep slats and couldn't find them. Went up and down what we taught was the shed/slats sort of rows. Got back on the bus home and a fella said he seen them off a bit from the rows we were at. It's hard to browse. Still think it's a good day out tho. If not just for the craic on the bus.

So hoping to see some plastic sheep slats and might purchase a quad sprayer at the tullamore show. If not might just have to head for Screggan again

See Paul pogba is looking for £200000 per week wages increase to stay at Manchester United. How much is too much?

How did inspection go or what was involved? Reckon a lot of these used for dept. to flex their muscles and take money of you.

The story is that it's his agent, Riva Minola, (or something like that ) is looking to wrangle another 20 million for himself. He's told Man U that it's a 200 Gs raise or he's off to Barca. Minola gets between 12 and 20 million depending on which way it goes. Pogba, like a few soccer players, has very little between the ears

Coupla years ago I had a Department fella walking around a field looking at the boundary. On the map he had the fence line looked to be further into the field. I looked at it and could see that it had been taken obviously by satellite and there was a shadow of the trees that were growing in the forestry next door. The trees had been cut so the 'fence line' was further out (if ye follow me), Took forever to get this through his head though. I was obviously going to move the fence 10 foot in towards the middle of a field and then few months later move it back out again!!! I despair sometimes.
I hope yours was just someone feeling like a walk on a nice sunny day and not in the humour to make your life miserable.

Can someone please remind me the name of the form to change calf sex on blue card? I had 3 to do at once and managed to make one female when 'he' isn't and now I can't remember the name of the form. How I love extra paperwork.

An unusual one for us.
A neighbour sold land (about 10-15acres) to forestry and planted it in 2002.
AFAIK they have/had no right of way in or out and only access is through our roads/ land. And at the time they went in and planted and a neighbour told them they had no rights to take their machinery out. Dad let them use our road with no issues, it wasn’t his style to cause trouble and it’s not ours either.

Now they can assess through another forestry if they fell and build a road and deal with the owners to do so.

Anyway we received a letter off them today requesting a meeting to discuss access routes to the land for thinning and harvesting.

Has anyone ever had something like that. Or what am I to expect?

Two came out and walked every sq foot of the place. Also had to get sheep in to check tag numbers and have to hand in dispatch book. They also had a look around sheds. Is this not cross compliance??
I was t there my dad was. One problem with rushes in a field I haven't had time to mow this summer. Thing they are deducting me for that. Mentioned something about appealing. I will have to wait until I get their paper work.

Allot of hassle and stress on my dad which he didn't need. I was only back to work today so could t take time off

Have your cattle access to that field? A neighbour showed cow dung to prove the cattle had access. I wouldn’t be an expert in this area though.

Only have sheep and yes they fo have access. Left it in the real heatwave as it is a paddock with not much shelter. They were shielding it from the sun

Someone else may be better experts than I but maybe take a few photos of the sheep ding/grazed area to show you are grazing it. It might help. Good luck with it.

TITANIUM.

Ya I've heard of lads deliberately driving cattle in fields infested by rushes on the day of an inspection. Can't very well say they don't have access if there in it. One lad I know even emptied a few bags of nuts in spots all around the field to keep um in there a simulate grazing.

I'd prefer to just have the feckers topped and sprayed tbh.

Could be a great chance to get a farm roadway widened/upgraded. Could also be a great chance to get a definitive legal agreement in place for the future.
With an eye to the main chance, and given the low value of clearfelled land, ask for ownership of the 15 acres post clearance!

Topped 2 small fields this morning. Hadn't been topped in a good few years. Full of rushes. Had been too wet other years to go near it. Very satisfying to look back at them driving out

Fingerbar would break your heat if rushes anyway strongish.
