Butford if you knew them they love hardship. There about five brothers of them all with sons who run the farms, so it's a complete menagerie.
They rent quite a bit of ground all across the country and once they were moving lambs in a big 22ft trailer, to save time two of the sons were dosing the lambs in the trailer whilst being pulled along the roads by the tractor.

Lol.

So who is going to see Popey? Think I might go see him in Estonia next month. He's to say mass in a square just beside my brothers place, think it only holds around 5k people so much smaller setting.

Have to go to Estonia regardless, so as well to go do something slightly cultural. Would beat standing around like a spare prick for 6 hours in the rain at phoenix park anyway.

Starter went on mini digger. For some reason the design of starter the solenoid gives trouble and sticks on and burns out.

Dad took off the Burnt out one this morning and this evening I managed to fit it myself. Pure delighted with myself and it works.

He is Going to rewire the ignition on Monday and put in a “krank” button and the new starter now has a facility that if the solenoid sticks on it will light on a warning light. So he said he will do that.

Hmmm another light for someone to ignore Would you not hear the starter noising if it was still engaged ?

It ain't friggin going to skip winter though.

Spring might be a thing of the past.
Autumn may be looking at borrowed time but winter the hoor is like a flock of horny ewes looking over the ditch at a field of silage.

If it's 10ft of snow and -5 it's winter.

If it's 24 c and the sun is splitting the stones it's summer.

I thought this calendar farming craic was done away with now?

Here's a radio interview with David on his follow up book "Growing a Revolution"

I'm actually waiting on this book to be delivered as well as another "The hidden half of Nature".

https://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/108420/saving-our-soil-with-david-r-montgomery

He's hit the nail on the head I feel on the link between soil health diversity and livestock health and ultimately human health.

It's a must to listen interview for livestock and tillage farmers.
There's a broad range of topics covered.
It's a long interview nearly an hour long.

On a side note I haven't dosed this year's calves yet and no ill effects yet. There's been no need for it yet based on observation I feel.
No pot bellies and no coughing and growing as well as other years imo.

It's probably the only time when somebody buys a brand new car and it increases in value after they buy it.

He usually travels in a Fiat.
Fiat Ireland won't be happy.

Hopefully the money if it's sold will go to charity.
Amnesty Ireland perhaps?

Doubt it Amnesty will get anything. They were organising the survivors protest.

The waxworks museum had the old Old popemobile in storage. They are looking to give it out for charity events now. Charity, not stag and hen parties, which were the usual request.

Anyone got or seen a pallet of Growmax lately? Is there 4 or 2 bags on a pallet?

A pallet got delivered today sometime and the old man maintains that there is 2 bags on it. It should have been 4 x 375kgs bags as far as I know. Before I let loose on the phone on Monday I'd need to be sure :-)

Ah I was codding about Amnesty Ireland.

They should nearly scrap those vehicles if they're going at that craic hiring them out.
I'm not of that religion but you could see how people of that religion would get offended if those vehicles get to be abused.

There was a lad sitting beside us might as well have been a commentator, pain in my head now, game was only on bt sports, was never so happy to hear the final whistle. Even at half time he was blabbing.

Have a cow due to calf next couple of days. Look out today and there is a heifer drinking her. Have seperated them but don't know how long she had been drinking her for.
That heifer has jumped to the top of the sell pile as it's a pain in the arse habit.
So my question is will the cow have enough colostrum for the calf when she calves?? Or will I have to source some?

emaherx

Just finished baling the straw. About half the number of bales from same field last year. Never seen a crop so short before.

Time for a few pints.

I had a similar problem before. I posted about it here. Cow calved away and calf was grand. No health problems at all.

That was a Dodge Ram pickup he was standing in.
