    Yup. She's a pet but barks at everything that comes into the yard, then introduces a ball or whatever she's playing with at the moment for them to throw but they don't know that

    Had a sales person in a red land cruiser 171 ke reg today. He drove in by the house and straight down the yard. I came out and was waiting for him when he came back up from his viewing. Is the boss man around.... I said he's away. Going on about feed troughs for calves. Showing me cheques from local farmers who bought from him also said he wasn't getting out of the jeep as the prick of a dog was there....

    Had none in this while thank God. They must have realised that there is nothing worth taking here!

    Driving down the yard pissed me off big time

    When I was on placement for my green cert the farm I worked on was up a long lane so you could see the "visitors" coming. The family dog was a doberman the craic was to give the ethnic minority 2 mins to get out of the hiace and let out the dog.
    You could smell them before you would see them when you walked over to the yard.

    I had a lamb and ewe get meningitis about 2 weeks ago and went straight in with Alamycin and B1. The lamb was a triplet ewe lamb and needed lifting and holding her mouth and bottle for about 10 minutes to feed but she recovered fairly quickly, a pet now but OK. The ewe was still down after 10 days and I was wondering if she should be put down to stop her suffering and was going to get the vet to do it today as he was coming out for a cow anyway.


    Anyway, I gave a quick check of the sheep and there she was standing, leaning against the single pens and moving forward on her own.


    Today is a good day:)

    My dog has had to go for another transfusion today,
    Bled out nearly over night, even stole the other dogs food dish last night at six oclock
    So she wasn't in bad form then
    I don't think I'll transfuse if she hemorrhages again

    You need the transfusions to buy time to let the bone marrow recover. Modern rat killers are very good at what they do.......

    Keep her inside where she won't be knocking herself about to start small haemorrhages.

    Did someone say that at 87.5% the animal is considered pedigree - or did I dream that up? Only asking coz I have an incalf heifer who is 88% angus and a year old who is also 88% angus. If that is correct can you tell me if it is possible to get them registered? I'm thinking of life after BDGP and as well as the herd of donkeys :) I might keep the best of my cows/heifers and get rid of the lesser percentage angus cattle. The rest are nearly all 75%+, so it is possible I will have another couple in the future. The older of these two is genotyped and the other is on the list for this year.

    To register the calf the cow has to be registered so there is kind of a loop. You could sell them to a dairy lad as pbnr,they dont want a piece of paper

    Wouldn't be normal procedure to have a round chambered, would it?

    Thanks for that, it makes sense and the other dog is very boisterous and rough,
    She catches her by the collar and drags her off down the fields, will keep them apart for a couple of weeks now.

    I was following that elsewhere during the week. There's quite a number looking for a website with activists names and addresses to be published and their homes to be similarly targeted and I would have to agree with them, tbh.


    What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. I think I'm going to use more of those animal phrases when talking to vegans in future, just for the lols.

    Had our annual visit from the hunt, told not to enter the land, concession agreed if dogs went in, hound master only could go in to get them out, anyway as I watched four entered after the dogs with the other 60+ waiting to see how the first 4 got on. I shared my views with them and at one stage the hound master said he don’t know what was agreed, yet the guy who came and agreed it was one of the four, they started apologizing and saying how sorry they were...every year the same shyte, they were only sorry that they were caught. The arrogance of these guys really pisses me off. :mad:

    I'm pretty sure some of these self confessed vegans just do it for attention and to feel they've joined some kind of "club" or cult or whatever.
    It fills a void in their lives.
    Either that or they're just nuts to begin with.

    Case in point look down at the responses to this tweet and look at the profile and posts of the vegan responder.
    *Over 18's only and if you're a guard. REALLY??
