The only thing I will say in the southern man's defence is that qouta Limited him for 30 years so the expansion has just been more condensed.

Driving towards working for the bank struggling to make the next payment. We’re mugs. I remember a hair cut cost 3.50 twenty five years ago, it’s now a tenner. Ask the barber if he would cut for the same price as 25 years ago and do the three times the work to make the same income. ?

You can't beat East Tyrone. Our's will be closed up on Sunday, it was touch and go earlier in October, but it's never so bad if you can keep them out till early November.
You’ve beat me. Today was their last day out. Serious rain last night. Standing at gate at lunchtime,nowhere to lie down.
Mustn’t grumble.

You playing Devils advocate Z ??? Next time the milk price tanks try running faster when the high rents , contractor charges, and expansion loans have chopped your legs of at the knee. Lucky for you NI guys Sean is scared of the rain and is unlikely to show up to try his luck up your way . Yourself and Willy have got it about right use grass as much as the weather allows and always have fodder in reserve. Finally i might add most Seans wouldnt know one end of a plough from the end of his arse!! While Willy is an acomplished ploughman from the evidence on another thread so no Sean thankfully !!!!
I certainly haven't got as much.
not sure if I need to do more reseeding or it's just receding.

It's a draw, had to throw the towel in after last night. As much as I hate seeing them in the house, at least that's an end to the traipsing up and down the road.

Two strapping young cows there @flatliner ??
Last night was awful. Took another 16 off today. Still have 20 big things roaming around a big bog meadow that'll have to come out start of the week. 37 of these R1 thingys hopefully cleaning up for a little while yet, but we'll see.
I came well prepared today, going by this lad's recent form. Was ready to push him down the road if necessary, but he took the hint, once he decided to come out from behind that gatepost. I wasn't going to lose this battle. Hope he doesn't win the war though.?

Steady. As the day lengthens, the cold strengthens. We've all seen a March wun clean up grass.
Unless you're in the Vale that is.

Of course the only reason grass disappears in March here is because we’re grazing it !
