She got stuck in a creep gate which as made smaller with rope. Gave herself ropeburn across her back/pelvic bones & scar is still there. She had no other name at the time and it's a handy way to ID her to Dad:pac:

All expenses including wire, insulators, staples, stakes and the contractor is allowable for capital expenditure. All repairs can be claimed for is current expenditure.

Some sort of survey I'd imagine.

Geological survey most likely. Had a plane doing that crack around here flying 2-300 ft over ground for a few days last yr.

Spreading fertilizer.

Nearly wouldn't mind having to look for a missing shin guard, gum shield or sock. Normally told about 5 minutes before we leave something is missing.

Before anyone gets the wrong end of the stick. Because you never can tell..

That/those plane/s are/was/were doing surveys. Probably the (aptly named) Tellus aircraft scanning bedrock.

Was saying that other day, there is no running about the place taking the kids to this and that...
It’s both good and bad...
Makes you wonder if you’re doing the right thing taking them to so much...

But then, am sure when we get back to normal life, we’ll fall back into the routine of taking them all over the place again 🙂

Spent the day repairing fences and the head is nearly cut off me with the N/E wind. Got back into the house around 7ish and noticed how grubby it's getting in the absence of our cleaning lady. I really miss our cleaning lady. I suppose I'll have to tackle a bit of house work tomorrow or I could go out and do something, anything on the farm
There are weeds that need spraying around the yards

The streak is broken, had a red/speckled park coloured limo heifer last night.

Funny thing about the cow- she was born in 2013 the day of a cattle test and she has calved 3out of 5 calved, the night before the test including last night.

My daughter has more than two years full stamps from work but is two months shy of 18 so can’t claim it, her peers at work are all receiving it.

I watched calamity Jane yesterday.
Your story reminded me

Was talking to a Neighbour this morning that works in the airport.
He said a 747 came in the other night with 8000 pigs from the US.

Wouldn’t like having to clean that out afterwards.

Interestingly he said it’ll probably be one of the last jumbos to come into Dublin because they’re getting too expensive to run.

Pigs can fly. Humans not at the moment.

What are we doing importing 8000 pigs.
Are we not continually risking our herds by importing more and more live animals. Surely we have enough breeding stock here.
