@TullMcAdoo The poor misfortune hasn’t a clue what she’s talking about.

Sinn Féin TD Cathy Bennett bravely tried to bounce back from her EU disaster recently by speaking in the Dáil today about Bluetongue plaguing Irish farmers. Unfortunately, she confused Bluetooth with Bluetongue and also appears unable to read a speech prepared for her.

@2pintpaddy @JoeMetcalfe2 Talk to your vet there is an alternative but you need to get it earlier in the year in future!!

@JoeMetcalfe2 Any alternative too the vaccine??? I was told there isn't, at the moment.

Jazus , its getting harder and harder to get vaccines , Leptavoid H out of stock until January 🤦🤦

Following a recent celebration of our first centenary at Barryroe I just wanted to share this picture

@jhealyq An annual event

Has anyone any idea what these yellow/ orange spots are in the fields. I see loads of them. Like a dusting of powder on the grass 🤔

Can you remember where the red or blue print print was John O Brien

@davidkerr67 Yes an excellent tool but a bit expensive at €3 per cow?

Didn't see genocell as an unexpected benefit of genotyping but a very useful tool to have. 6 day turnaround now.

@HaroldKingston1 Fantastic work being done by Harold Mick O Sullivan and team on this most beautiful walk. Well worth a visit!!

Life on the edge!! Making good progress on the Fuchsia Loop upgrade.

@2pintpaddy @MunsterBovine Paddy a bit early I’d suggest 2weeks time to start!

@jhealyq Yes we have quite a few here from one specific bull the dna will prove they are AA

Going to need the help of Genomics with this one. Supposed to be AI Angus. Anyone ever get an Angus with that much white?Maybe mammy's influence is strong on this one. Didn't hold to sexed fr unfortunately. She's a solid 6 th Calver💪

@2pintpaddy On the tbc check Bulk tank it’s usually the problem

Cow Performance 18/02/25 Yield = 17.6 Litres Avg Butterfat = 4.83 Protein = 3.37 Kgs/Ms/Cow = 1.50 SCC = 61,000 TBC = 40,000 Farm Grazed = 16% It's the cows last day on OAD switching back to TAD 2mow. not happy with TBC looking into it. #WestCork🇮🇪🐄

@sprinkles785 Is she ok. I got caught on Friday she did not survive you would have to sleep with them

This is what happens when you sleep during calving 😢… a smashing Galant heifer calf . #managementissues #livestockdeadstock #maytheharmoftheyeargowithher
