Nothing like having a 13 tonne digger to help make more room in a skip

Looking to purchase 10 to 15 in calf pure bred jersey heifers if anyone knows of any going.

A map of the drainage done on the farm in 1962 to 1964. The map was professionally drawn and was said to have been regesterd somewhere. Anyone have any idea where or if land drainage maps are regesterd?

Last day as farm manager in clongowes. Taking some great memories, and experience and leaving many, many, many pet cows behind.

Night calver wanted - Irish Farmers Journal Farming Classifieds toplink.farmersjournal.ie/toplink/night-…


All cows dried off, dosed and on there holidays and in calf heifers bolused before calving. Having a batch crush and quiet stock makes life so handy. Only one heifer jumped out of 70 the rail.


Last one for the year thanks be ta jayses

Takes a certain type bollix to drive through two springers, nearly get stuck, reverse into the electric fence breaking the wire, head off playing of round of golf and leave without telling anyone. While the 85 calfs in the paddock wonder if they want to head into Clane.

You'd never guess we were farmers. 😂 from sue the pet Hereford to a 225hp weapon of a tractor that would make "contractor does it all" approach binned. Few bottles in a big tent with good friends made it unforgettable.

These localized showers would do your head in. Drive to the yard and it's pelting down with streams of water running down the road, in flying form with a few tunes on. Then the closer to the yard i get the dryer it gets. Arrive to the yard and it's bone dry 😂 maybe next time YR


Forest fire picking up again. Herd the most Irish thing ever. " Theres a fire in the forest right beside the explosives factory" 😂
