All going according to plan. Cows milking away, rain outside, time to try and beat the young fella in a game of pool

My dad found this yesterday. June 1969. 500kg bullock £88. He bought a new David brown 880 the same month for £970. 11 cattle paid for the new tractor. Take a few more than 11 cattle to buy a new tractor in 2020

Mr. 15 living his best life. Defo giving the little Deere a workout. Only drawback is I have to walk back to yard. License pending in 3 weeks.

Contract heifers 98.5%
Own heifers 100%
Cows 98.5%.

Rather surprised with all the weather extremes all summer.

From old dairy to cubicles. Christened today. Roof a bit low but we can put a new one up next year. I reckon an old and low roof is better than none

Kinda busy here today. 25 people and 18 vehicles at one point. The poor old cow pays for a lot. And the price of milk dropping 🤦🏻♂️

Great to see the cows sooo contented. Amazing what the sun on their backs and a belly full of grass can do. Great for man and beast

Temporarily extending feed barrier space. Using old H irons that must be 150 years old and 30 year old gates from a beef slatted unit. Just wait for the weather now to pour the floor

Left cows and calves out this morning. Missing one this evening. Nature at its best. He was nestled in a nice corner with a bank on both sides and the strainer as a wind break. He would be cosy for the night

Technology is great. Sipping away on a few beers in france and the ladies getting milked and no relief milker to pay when I’m home. Great system. Peter and Robbie

Great to get the old stuff out for a run. The roller and tractor!! Close to 100years old between the two of them combined. Cows were milked with a pipeline back then. Now robotically milked.

Fair play to the lads
@BanagherPrecast
for the excellent job on manufacture of 8’10” slats to retrofit an old shed which had a suspended passage up to now. Awkward and a bit of fiddling. Lads had the patience of a saint. Thanks again. Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

I hate spannering. Pin hole in a brake pipe. Such an effort to get into replace it. Replaced with high pressure hydraulic line instead. Much easier to get back into place

This submersible pump went in the well in 1987. 2 farm yards, 3 dwelling houses and god knows how many kms of water pipe. Gave up the ghost today. Not a bad investment. Easter Sunday was busy. Thanks to Henry Maher of kilkenny water pumps got us up and running again.

Here’s to a different 2019. As we scale back and sell our suckler herd due to ever decreasing margins. Moving to Heifer rearing with a great local dairy farmer. Onwards and upwards but sad to have to make this decision.
