Well that's my plan for the day slightly thrown asunder.
Health and Safety inspection.

In fairness they said everything was fairly spot on. But it's still an inconvenience.

Be worse I suppose if you had an accident and weren't aware of the accident potential.

I had to explain it in a health and safety fashion.
No smoke and no ammonium sulphate from slurry.

No, Iphone. When I take a picture holding the phone sideways/landscape and transfer it to my laptop it looks normal but when I post it here it's upside down. I read somewhere if you have the flash to the top it should stop it from happening but it doesn't.

Thanks. The red one is just gone two and the roan one is two on the 10th of Mar. Red one due to calf mid July and the roan one at the end of April. I had trouble getting the red one in calf and ended up getting her ai'd - am, pm and the following am.
Daisy is the one at the end.
Thanks GC for turning the pic around.

You're more than welcome:=)
Only it wasn't me . Greysides I'd expect!
I must be the least tech savvy Mod.

Lovely stock by the way. A good shorthorn cow is well worth having. Great cross with Charolais or Blonde. I'm looking forward to pics with calves at foot!

Would I be mad to spread a bit of nitrogen with a cold week promised next week. Ground condition is fairly good at the moment. Might not be after the weekend. Would like to have a bit of grass coming.

Well there's 40-80ml of rain coming first, so I doubt if the cold will have much effect on whatever little's left in the field after that!

Hold.... HOLD...

Those two will be kept for pedigree breeding but I have three crossbred yearling that I will use BA on in time. Some of the best sucklers that I had were shxba.
Thanks Greysides for turning the pic.

Anyone have rough idea how much contractors charge to fence? Sheep wire and 3 strands barbed wire. I assume they charge by the meter?

Sheep wire plus 3 strands would be a bit over spec No? Usually one or two strands of wire over sheep wire. It’s about €6 a metre with grant spec. Well it was a year ago. Things might have gone up since.
