But were you not one of the fella's cheer-leading the whole thing by thanking and thumbs up the posts?

Why didn't you report it if you had an issue with it so? Mods have lives too, it's not like they sit there looking at each & every post.
The poster wanted information on a crowd & got fair enough replies, could have been done more diplomatically but if you want to know, you want to know. I know the lads in question too & it'd be like water off a ducks back to them.

I used to call an old lady that lived in the house next door Mam! Herself and my grandmother, who was called Nan, when everywhere together - "Mam and Nan are off again" was my constant comment when I was 4. Hadn't thought of that for the best part of 50 years - thanks lads!!!!

There could be an idea here for someone looking to give a present for a birthday or Christmas.

Had done likewise. Gave away a few year and a half heifers. If I had known I was going to be clear I'd have held onto them

Any way got calf out and it's a belgian blue bull, all good now , apart from my shin

18 mile run this morning @ 7am. Have done what jobs I needed to do today. Legs are fairly tired now so it’s feet up for the evening!

Found weanling down today. Trying to get up but unable to. I noticed him coughing a bit during the week but I had them done with a pouron less than a month. He was a bit snotty nosed too. Vet reckon it was a hurt, maybe nerve damage.
Twice Vet has been out in a week. Other vet in practice put shoe on cow during the week.
Always something. We'd be lost without the service.

Hard Knocks

Hung 2 gates today that had been on the long finger.
Did first on my own & second with help.
Jobs are much easier with a second person

keepalive213

So I arrive at my field earlier and there's a stranger, (not obvious to me as being any particular ethnic minority tbh) just inside the gate with two hounds with him. I asked him what exactly he thought he was doing, told him he's not allowed on my land and he mumbled an apology before heading off.
Three vans headed off in a convoy, didn't recognize them as locals either.
Rang the Gardai, gave them the one reg I managed to read.
I checked it on online vehicle search site later and it came up as Renault Clio.
Just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences

Ah c'mon. I must be showing my age. Yep, Hay Lice. Remember them here when I was young. You'd only get them in certain years. If you were handling hay, you'd get covered in them.

Same thing happened here last year.
A few years ago a brown mitz sport with vw passat plates.
A retired member of ags found two in his field with a lurcher with a broken leg, the ex member _farmer gave verbal instructions and in response the indigenous person picked up the dog by the ears and shoved it into the farmers face. Farmer lamped him, five more arrive across the hill with more dogs. My farmer friend though he had bitten off more than he could chew. But the six pick up yer man, throw him into the back of a hiace and dog on top and hit home.

Elderly man living at the end of our lane was swindled by a travelling salesman.
He came selling jumpers and coats, and yer man bought a jumper.
Having sern the money stored in the tea caddy, he came back a week later selling blankets and duvets.
Got into the kitchen and spread a duvet out, covering table, tea caddy and all. Emptied the money with one hand while talking non stop. Got about 5 weeks pension.
The old chap only discover the loss a day or two later.
It was the end of his independance, he got scared, afraid, wasnt sleeping etc and went into a residential home nearby.
Yer man tried the same trick down the road with a farmers wife, but she bet him out with a sweeping brush.
We were told by the Gardai he robbed an elderly lady up Kingscourt direction of thousands.
He was driving a Golf but the reg. plate came off a Mondeo.

He was Pakistani or similar, and was back in the UK almost before the robberies were reported.

Just a quick question.
If I dose cattle today and withdrawal is 40 days can I sell in mart after 30 days?
On dept website it says sell for slaughter or sell produce(milk) till after withdrawal.

But ca n I sell in mart a few days before it's completely up knowing the animal wont be slaughtered as it's far off ready.

Downside is it's quite dear though, it's more useful as a tick preventative before letting new stock off on ticky ground. We'd use spot on/tactic if anything.

What is the persistency of these products, how often do they need to be reapplied? Thanks for the info.

I think they're all roughly about 6 weeks though by this stage the ticks will be fecking off for winter anyway so 1 dose will do until next May if you're set on doing them.

Mod Note:Post removed.

For your information, I've posted the relevant regulations. I also suggest you read sections 2 and 6 of the F&F Charter.



LEGAL AGE LIMITS FOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES WITHOUT ANALGESIA (IRELAND)
B: Disbudding/Dehorning
Farmers (or Veterinary Practitioners/Nurses) may perform the disbudding / dehorning of:
cattle up to 15 days of age without use of anaesthesia or analgesia;
cattle between 15 and 28 days but only with use of appropriate local anaesthesia and analgesia (as per a veterinary prescription issued by the farmer’s Veterinary Practitioner in relation to the animals undergoing the procedure);
sheep and goats up to 8 days of age without use of anaesthesia or analgesia;
Irrespective of the legal allowance to not use local anaesthesia, for animal welfare reasons the use of local anaesthesia and appropriate analgesia should be encouraged by Veterinary Practitioners;
For cattle over 28 days of age, and sheep and goats over 8 days of age, only a Veterinary Practitioner may disbud / dehorn, and in this case the Veterinary Practitioner must by law, use appropriate anaesthesia and analgesia.

If you're in Bord Bia, it is a big problem selling before the withdrawal date. I've seen animals declared as still being in withdrawal in the mart but that's a few years ago now.

I'd say give the mart a ring, it's something they would get asked often I imagine.
