I saw this on After Hours. So it got me thinking. Over the years we have had some great contributors that have left. We even have had some that have been reincarnated and some more than once. A few were great contributors two I miss on the discussion are Bob Charles and New Beef Farmer although NBF was a reincarnation of a previous contributor. He got banned for overreacting and never came back.

Bass Reeves actually existed.... I thought he was a makey uppy name as well.

Wikipedia

Bass Reeves (July 1838 – January 12, 1910) was the first black deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi River. He worked mostly in Arkansas and the Oklahoma Territory.[a] During his long career, he was credited with arresting more than 3,000 felons. He shot and killed 14 people in self defence....

I think our Bass has shot more than 14 in self defence at this stage....

Bob Charles and Relig were two good posters alright..... gone but not forgotten...

Muckit

Just do it. He was a part time suckler farmer from Clare that was getting ready to convert to Dairying.

Hope he succeeded in achieving his goal and is happy at it.

Panch18

Leg wax used to produce super weanlings, usually blues if I remember correctly

Changed to dairy then

Was a great poster, pity he left. Would have been nice to follow his dairy journey

It's crazy how long people have been posting on here over the years. I often wonder about Bob Charles as he just stopped posting and never closed his account, which is unusual. I propably miss his and Reiligs contributions the most.

Connemara Farmer/Commanche mara? was one I miss and was always interesting. He would sometimes post beautiful pics of his area.

Say my name

Username John was a good poster with his U shaped field.

Sharpshooter, Kovu and Pedigree6 were good too.

Going back a while here, JohnGalway, I used always enjoy his posts while he was modding here.

And even older, was it shanemccarrick, can't remember the spelling, used mod here as well but had to leave after being doxxed by a rogue poster from elsewhere on here?

Ya I think taht was it, he was NBF after. TBH his was very lowly stocked on what seemed a goodish west of Ireland farmer. He drew his payments and worked the system. I taught he had his system off to a T.

Friend is doing something similar. 40 acres rented, finishes 25-30 heifers, makes surplus silage, takes in slurry from lads that have nitrates issues. He spends no more than 12-15 hours/week on the farm as it is rented land and it is 3-4 miles from him.

The NBF account was the first, when he was looking for help with a bullock with a ball. After that he decided to tell everyone how to farm with a few different accounts.

Ah fun times :pac:

Kowtow and Bob Charles were two of my favorites, a mine of information and always eager to show a different view point than the majority. There was another lad from Clare who's moniker I've forgotten that was always up to something interesting. It intrigue's me to watch the posting style of the "newbies" developing, many of them seem surprisingly familiar.

Another thing that interests me is usernames and there selection. Some are self explanatory or most likely random but others are representative of popular culture or similar.

Yeah, doing farming a bit alternatively to the teagasc model, to say the least. Met him a few times in person, real interesting life before cow came along.
