YesMcCarteysās?
Aye its a wee chuncky bull calf.cow calved no bother last year to the same bull tooIs it alive ?? Could have been a little calf born in a skin, same difference I suppose
If you shoot lame ones but sell pet lambs Iām assuming you must have ran out of bullets??
Bloody hell if all is alive I would be over moon. Balls to the cash sideJust done a caesarian this morning doubt I'll see any money out of that calf.
I donāt know the patch but itās not far from me- not exactly the lowlands
If the calfs alive i always think it was worth doing and the calf will pay the bill in the end. Only had one this time thankfully, worse calving i had four .Bloody hell if all is alive I would be over moon. Balls to the cash side
I just take rough with smooth. Divide total vet costs by herd not pin it on an individual in my mind. Get shut of any problems and that yearly bill should come down.If the calfs alive i always think it was worth doing and the calf will pay the bill in the end.

Yeah it was described as uplands grazing by the person I spoke to. Which is why I'm asking how anyone could make margin on that price.I donāt know the patch but itās not far from me- not exactly the lowlands
Do you know what they are paying for base at the moment for cows,? You are right it was posted.Has anyone got the cow grid for pickstocks? I'm sure it was posted a few weeks ago but that could be 500 pages back by now
Think it's about four quid like most of them, just wanted to know how that varied across the gridDo you know what they are paying for base at the moment for cows,? You are right it was posted.
If I go into our local town and look at the people walking on the streets Iād say 20% of them are lame. Some of them might even be a bit itchy. Should we shoot them on welfare grounds?The chronic and acute levels of lameness in the national flock.
The endemic levels of scab.
Castration and tail docking without pain relief. Hell, I'll bet most producers don't even give pain relief when treating lameness.
High levels of assisted lambings.
Breeding a "tight coat" which makes an animal more susceptible to fly strike.
Texel throat.
There is a few that maybe should be culled/removed from society or at least stopped from breedingIf I go into our local town and look at the people walking on the streets Iād say 20% of them are lame. Some of them might even be a bit itchy. Should we shoot them on welfare grounds?

Father went similar wayMy nanna went 6 weeks without food or water before she sadly passed in hospital.
if it had been an animal youād of been jailed
if I hear the word āmutilationā used to describe rubber ringing once more id like to rubber ring them
Mine too, best thing for him would of been for me to take him up the field to look at the land an the stock he loved and shoot the fecker!! Heād of been much happier than being bed ridden an relying on others when he didnāt need anyone his whole life!!Father went similar way
Save the country a fortune if we did, half the feckers are only limping on the way to the dole office, when they come out theyāre feckin running to the nearest off license or weather spoons!!If I go into our local town and look at the people walking on the streets Iād say 20% of them are lame.
