@LadyHaywire @Richard44158292 Pretty sure it’s illegal even?

@Richard44158292 It's not normal to use a prod here. So I'd say no.

Cattle swimming to one of Ireland's offshore islands for grazing. Can you imagine me trying that with ours 🤣🤣

@grazyfarmer @PopDMassingale @AidanAidanmc @nbclancy @patquirke @TaeSavesLives Also- the day there’s an issue with the water supply the fish are smart enough not to get drank up 😂 just incase anyone has that irrational fear

@PopDMassingale @AidanAidanmc @nbclancy @patquirke @HelenaCoughlan @TaeSavesLives Wait until the vegans hear we're milking goldfish!! 🤣🤣

Any tips to stop this in cattle water troughs?

@nbclancy @patquirke @TaeSavesLives Do you want a few spares???!

@TaeSavesLives @patquirke Can confirm goldfish keep some of the green algae down, not all. However an unexpected result may be that the fecking fish multiply and you have to find homes for 30 odd goldfish when you run out of your own tanks to put them in🤦‍♀️ Big tanks best to avoid frost shock in winter

@patquirke Goldfish I'm told

John Keane’s speech to the crowds gathered at Merrion Square today. “Today, after 79km, after over 100,000 steps, after several hundred stories, after many hundred blisters, the proudest boast is, I am a Macra member” @MacranaFeirme @farmersjournal

Young people get results. @MacranaFeirme defending members with our proposals to put rural youth and young farmers in the drivers seat of rural policy. #StepsForOurFuture #ruralireland

@breifneobrien1 You could have come and joined us and represented those sectors? Nothing is stopping you getting involved and bringing your perspective to meetings. Also if you read Macras position they do not specify dairy farming

In 2022, the average dairy farm made a profit of €148,000 while the average cattle-rearing farm made a profit of only €8,700, yet Macra seems to feel that grants for expanding dairy farmers is a more pressing issue than those facing other sectors

We’re out in force representing the needs of young farmers and rural youth to politicians in Dublin who won’t look past the m50 #stepsforourfiture @MacranaFeirme

@LFJIreland It’s not just dairy farmers, @MacranaFeirme is a rural youth and young farmers organisation, we speak for much more than just one sector of rural Ireland and the issues we are highlighting tonight show that

2. The march began just after 7pm this eve led by dairy farmers & Macra na Feirme president John Keane, who said "We're marching for rural Ireland. We’re marching for the future of rural young people. This is the coming together of years of work by our organisation." Cont'd🧵

MARCHING 79KM TO GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AFTER 79 YEARS FOR RURAL IRELAND In 1944 Macra na Feirme was founded in Athy, Co. Kildare. Today, 79 years later, its members have begun the 79k walk to Government buildings in protest to protect their futures within rural communities 🧵 1/4

Macra members now 11km into the #StepsForOurFuture march to Gov buildings. Marching overnight 79km to raise rural issues, lack of housing/healthservice/public transport and policy that limits their ability to develop farms. #macranafeirme #rtenews

Macra is organising a “Steps for our Future” march next Tuesday & Wednesday (25th&26th April). We need as many members to come out and show their support for the reasons outlined in this post. #Macra #StepsForOurFuture

@NadalineW @JacWhelanFagan Same one is in Buttevant

@JacWhelanFagan Thank you!

Any farming tweeps from around Enniscorthy that might be able to help? Apparently, there is a billboard on the roundabout that claims ‘animal agriculture is the number one cause of climate change’. I’d love a photo of it, if true?

@sprinkles785 Sexed semen all the way, January Angus calves are unreal too! The milk trolley with the mixer and pump on it is the way to go if there’s no auto feeder. Fluids every 6 hours for calves with crypto kept the vet away.

So now that the calving season is as good as done and dusted …. What really worked well this spring for ye ( cow/calf wise or labour saving) ….or what was a disaster …. #thisisnotadebate

@AnneTSheridan1 @cahill_jamie @davidgdaly85 @sprinkles785 Me too! Not something I’ve heard talked about before so be good to learn more

@cahill_jamie @davidgdaly85 @sprinkles785 Also interested 🐄
