Have you a link to the article minerleague? Between glas, beep, beam, Icbf and bps my life is getting complicated enough. There’s a lot to be said for forestry, log on once a year and click a box, job done until it comes to trying to apply for a felling licence two years in advance. There’s a lot of money spent on admin with all these schemes too.

Might as well be asking me for third secret of fatima as trying to post links , Irish examiner ' farming' online is where i saw it.
From what people are saying about the new reap scheme it seems planners will nearly have to come see each field each year. People who draw up schemes have to put something new in each time ( no work in saying" same again lads" )

She collapsed again an hour ago, was only out for a short while, I phoned her GP, they said she was dehydrated, take dioralytes and stay lying down
Asleep now, she didn't sleep last night, temperature seems to be gone down

Hope she's over the worst, Is that first of 2 or just 1 shot? Will it deter her from 2nd jab? Best wishes to both of you

The dehydration thought crossed my mind, I read somewhere online (cant find it now) to keep hydrated for 48 hrs. after vaccine. Wishing your OH a speedy recovery.

Yes they advise to keep plenty of fluids on board.

Getting my first jab tomorrow. Thought they had forgotten about me. Crazy busy week here but thought it best to go for it anyhow.

Was talking to a farmer last week in his 60s, he didn't know you had to register online for the vaccine. He was waiting for his gp to ring him

Take it easy on yourself afterwards - what's 2 days out of a lifetime.

Hopefully she is back to normal after sleeping. I didn't know that you are supposed to keep hydrated after getting the vaccine.

Not everyone would react with a high temperature, she was sweating all night

Yes they advise to keep hydrated and to to take paracetamol regular. I am also told the the first dose of Astrazeneca is the harder one, where as with the Pfizer one its the second shot that is harder. Most people I know that have had them didn't find them to bad, but they would have been older people who would have rested after getting the jabs.
Hopefully she will be back to full health after a bit of a rest Wrangler.

The 40km cycle mightnt have been a great idea. Hopefully she's better soon

She mightn't have rehydrated after the spin either, she even commented that the slowest ones weren't there last night,
Fair dues to them on the evening spins they go at the speed of the slowest with a bit of a charge at the end of the spin, so last night was probably a charge the whole way

I don't know where I read it, googled it just now and its on several sites.

"Take care of yourself. Get a good night’s rest and hydrate well before your vaccination so you can feel your best on the day.
https://www.unicef.org/coronavirus/before-during-after-covid-19-vaccine


Being well-hydrated is one of the most important ways to maximize how you feel, both before and after your vaccination.

Thanks everyone
I'd say she's learnt a lesson, she still thinks she's a young one, she used to even cycle race when she was younger.
'twas no harm to put it up here, i wouldn't like to see any one get affected like that

Mooooo

Mother got AstraZeneca one last week, was knocked out tired for 48 hours but other than that ok. Was glad she had cancelled everything for the day after

After finding another cow stuck in a hole there now, getting bad run of it lately

Is she back on terra firma yet? A neighbours heifers broke into a cutaway bog last spring, they were probably frightened with deer I'd imagine. One of them ended up in a deep silt filled drain and kept fighting until only her head was above water. It was a good half a mile from the road with no chance of getting near her only on foot. It took 2 hour's with a few of us pulling to free her, she'd give no help until we relaxed and then she'd start fighting and sinking back into the mire.

I haltered her and tied her to a nearby tree which was just as well because when she finally was freed she stumbled backwards and would have been upside down in the drain if not for the halter. We then had to walk her back through the scrub to get out of the bog. She was staggering across turf banks and it was a miracle she didn't fall into another hole. I'd say if she was another few hours in the drain it would have been a different outcome.

Has anyone got or seen an attachment to put on the wall of a crush to change the width to work with calves

Water John

Hope OH has recovered Wrangler, dehydration with the sweating most likely. Bit of a fright for you.

The REAP Scheme needs two visits a year by planner TMK but they only get the same money as the other schemes.

Similar story with a cow near the BILs farm, their story ended with the cow being hosed down with warm water, put into a straw bedded old dark stone barn with huge dose of Poitin down her neck. She slept soundly and was up and ready for out when checked on later that evening.

Yep, Seen the Poiteen work and almost kill a cow! Be careful..Steam rising out of the cow and then the loose energy.

Pint of Poteen is potent stuff.

That must have been the proper stuff, plenty of watered down shyte around. The real thing is to be handled with care.

I'm getting quite good at cutting my own,
Despite the OH saying it's a good job she won't let me near hers
One more haircut and the clippers is paid for, Can't have money invested in machinery on this forum and it not paying its way
