You've answered your own question. Its long and shes sorting it for the craic

 

[Davy]

Sounds like she'd be useful helping to bed up the straw pens

Anti suckle device on her nose with a couple of links of chain hanging off of it, seemed to help here. Although eventually she got good at getting it caught somewhere and removing it.

Cow brush? She’s itchy.

Try Cultra museum , they will place it beside the silage cutting spade, maybe put it in your garden as an ornament ,plant flowers in it,hang it in your kitchen,use your imagination

Fast forward 5 years from now. How many of these trailing shoes or dribble bars will be lying at the back of the hedge in the nettles.

Macerators don't like bale wrap or net!

No one seems to be using them this week, folded up and splash plate on. Seems to be too much of a faff.

We’re in deogration so no other choice but would have been easier to red the tanks out with a splash plate no doubt about it but the rest of the year it’s fine

Fine if your dribble bar is a retrofit. But if the tanker was made for it, then it'll be a dog on the road without the bar on.

Is there much hassle/paperwork with the derogation? Currently export slurry to keep us under 170, but with fertiliser price going up might be useful to be able to keep more.
