What breed are they? I reckon they're not red Belties?

From a relative living in Belfast, not far from where the Paisley's lived, many nationalist voters switched votes to SF from other parties in protest against the continued closure of Stormont. Anyways, just including a twitter thread, from a southern perspective, granted, on the history of...

Oh, definitely!😁

I believe it's preferring to be known as multispecies swards nowadays😁

I'm going to have to stop following this thread, it's a bad influence on me...

You don't have to keep up with the clusters, just put on the next one? I used make that mistake when I first installed cluster removers until I realised the cluster is fine just hanging there until I come to it. The gain in longer parlours is in having fewer rounds to milk. Putting on clusters...

Funnily enough, our local school, about 100 kids, out in the ar$e end of nowhere is about 10% Catholic, 50% a là carte Catholic (nominal Catholic at best, there for the parties), 10 CoI, 4% Bahai, 3% Muslim (Shia, I think) and the rest don't give a damn. Religion isn't an issue here in any way...

Bank Holiday weekend here, few matches on around the country yet, will get a bit busier later in the day but nobody going home or returning to work until tomorrow.

For a second there I was thinking you were Boris and I was admiring how accurate your drawings were😄

There's a huge difference in immonoprofile between calves getting colostrum in early or late. The transfer of passive immunity starts to decline from birth as the gut apertures allowing the transfer of immunoglobulin begin to close and begin to inhibit transfer of larger ones from a little after...

It's results like this that make all the faffing around with those animals worthwhile👍

This is his component figures in the health index from here Not exactly higher SCC, just a slightly lower SCC in daughers than average. The health index has more than SCC in it, you really need to dig into the figures a bit to see where they are coming from and if you can accept a compromise in...

I enjoy his posts. It's refreshing to see a bit of enthusiasm in the industry, not all him ideas will work out but hopefully enough will work to keep that enthusiasm going.

Man, that was brilliantly done🤣🤣
