I read somewhere that the smell of bread baking makes a lasting impression in a house up for sale.
So get baking Lady!

Best of luck.

I remember Superquinns in Dublin used to blow out the smell of baking bread from the local shopping center. You'd be drooling going in the door.

I presume they are the butchers in Ballincollig. Either just some bollix or someone with a grudge. Totally despicable.

Feck of thing to do to a person though and it was perfect silage.

Would they have to be rebaled or what?

Say my name

They'll have to get a few turns on the wrapper again I presume.
They're fairly solid bales. So should wrap.

Fecking crows again I bet

foxy farmer

Speaking as a former resident there'd be no shortage of gurriers living not too far from the scene of the crime.

This happened near my home place too in the last few weeks. Something like 30 bales in a field were slashed.

During that last storm, a massive dead branch with brown leaves came off an oak tree into the field where the cows are now. They're mad eating it the last few days & totally bare of leaves now. Never seen them go so wild for dry, brown leaves before.
Is it to do with dry matter/roughage in the diet? Am sure they'd go wild for straw if they got it.

Is it not poisonous? It is for horses.

Not so much with cows, I checked before letting them in & it's most toxic in budding/young leaves. The ones our cows were eating were crispy dead, brown leaves.

Gave a lad a lift this evening, he's probably late 50's, he had 2 bags one with a paint can in it and 1 with beer cans in it. He had been in the pub since 2, this was at half 6. His plan was to paint with one hand and drink beer with the other, he could hardly get out of the jeep , would love to see his paintwork

It looks like the testing is working.

Still, it sends a shudder up any farmer.

BSE confirmed on a farm in Scotland.

Mad cow case in Scotland brilliant next must be a plague of Frogs

I wouldn't worry about it. There was Mad Cow Disease around for a long time as naturally occurring sporadic cases before it was ever recognised and named. The problem arose with a change in the rendering process that allowed it to be spread in meat and bone meal. That gave the big numbers affected. These days sporadic cases still crop up but there's no mechanism for the disease to spread. At least, that's my understanding.

Yesterdays bit was a phone-in from a woman who went walking in the Wicklow mountains with her dog.
Had a car problem on returning to the car, and let the dog off the lead while waiting for a jump start.
Dog out of her sight.
A man arrived in a vehicle, with a rifle and suppressor went past her and away down the trail.
She started calling but no dog could be found.
Next day she went to the mans farm, and he took the dead dog out of the boot of his car and give it to her.
It had been shot.
She complained to the local Guard, who told her he never heard of anyone having a silencer/suppressor on a rifle before.

Of course explaining that in an article wouldn't make sense then.....

Pedigree herds still milking in Guernsey, great milk.

I think fertility and big calves can be a problem?

They never took off like their jersey neighbours.

Edit: Very bad udders on those Guernseys at that 80 cow herd!
Nice to be able to graze in December. Milk yields would be double that now though.

I was just thinking about oul Trumpies reaction to the journalist getting his head chopped off in the Saudi embassy.

First reaction: We will do whatever it takes to ensure that free speech is protected and sanctions will now be put on Saudi Arabia.

Someone then whispers in his ear: Eh Trumpy! The house of Saud is the largest buyer of U.S. munitions. Thousands of jobs will be lost in the weapons industry if we impose sanctions and plus we still buy a rake of oil off them.

Second reaction from Trumpy: This is an abomination that this journalist was broadcasting to an outside source via his watch. We want access to these recordings. It's all lies. Lies I tell ya. These accusations are nothing more than propaganda just like were levelled at our esteemed Judge Kavanaugh. There will be repercussions against those who make them.

Anyone know the farmer that fought a compulsory purchase order from the IDA and Intel?

Despite the date of the article, the film is now premiering this week. Directed by a local director, featuring a local man and is due to show in cinemas nationwide, somehow the local cinema near Intel is not going to show it.....
Heard this on Matt Cooper this evening.

As the U.S. is to Saudi Arabia, this country's economy is way too indebted to these few foreign giant conglomerates.
If they decided in the morning to pull out, we'd be back to the stone age. And those few companies know that too well.

I’m thinking very strongly of giving peter Casey my vote for the presidency now. For no other reason but to show my support for his sentiments towards the travellers. Whatever about their rights and yada yada how about the rights of a law abiding tax paying farmer to have some support and be able to live without the worry of these cnunts every day.
