    Anybody watching the new series of Peaky Blinders? I recorded the first episode on Sunday night but didn't realise that they were showing the second episode on Monday night so I missed it. Is there anywhere I could get it I wonder?

    There was an interesting program on rte2 just now.
    The secret life of Farm Animals.

    It was an hour long and tonight's was about cows.
    It was filmed in the U.K. Dairy Shorthorn, longhorn and a Hereford herd.

    Maybe it can be caught again on the player.

    Edit: it's just started again on rte2 +1

    No, not series linked. I was out doing a few jobs so just asked herself to record it.

    Have bales made 2 days ago. Thing is that I've to check the bales to see if they were chopped fully as the Baler man discovered an issue with the knives on the next job. When would it be ok to feed out a bale? 2 weeks?

    There was problems last year with bales not fermented, stuff baled in October and fed in the end of Nov or early Dec, if I remember correctly lads were saying 7-8 weeks, think there was chat on here about it too.

    You can go straightaway if it's 2 days ago.
    What's the difference in that and zero grazing?
    Whether your stock are hungry enough is a different matter.
    I'd be trying to wangle getting the baler man to knock that bale off the bill since you do have to check.

    Why do you want to open it, surely chopped or not it'll preserve alright

    Perhaps Reggie wants to sell them, I'd be fairly peed off if I bought chopped bales & discovered them unchopped.

    He didn't say that, life's hard enough without having to feed silage in September though just for the hell of it

    Farmers kitchen is a nice place. A bit outside Wexford town but it's easy to get to.

    Stayed in the Talbot Hotel too, lovely place but too noisy for meself to sleep at night.

    I just heard on the news that due to the increase numbers of children with measles we may loose our measles free status. I never knew we had a measles free status.

    Kelly's resort, Rosslare seems to be the place where all the fendt drivers go.
    Haven't been. But they all seem to be repeat customers.

    Is that due to low uptake of the vaccine?

    Combined with the number of outbreaks were seeing.

    A successful vaccine creates a herd level protection, fall below a certain level of immunised people and it’s all lost.

    Was thinking the Talbot apartments alright. Kinda want 2 rooms so I can dump the young lad in when he goes to bed and I can relax with the telly and a pint or 2 next door. This seems to tick the boxes

    I see the minister is holding back 15% of ANC payment until this December. The sceptic in me says it to affect strikes.

    Sure that will only drive them on.

    Was there a reason given?

    a link on a page that is not hyperlinked can be copied and pasted into the internet address bar, to activate it.

    Apologies, if I misread your post.
