@AidanAidanmc What’s this first cut thing that you’re on about?? Not sure we’re farming in the same county anymore 😂

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

@AidanAidanmc Well wear. Holding on to the old one?

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

Can only sit back now and watch it grow

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

@AidanAidanmc Some difference to this day last year

@grazyfarmer 24 years old, home now 1.5yrs. Although I was lucky enough to expand to a second block, I’m at a stage where you want to be able to drive on and look at as many opportunities when young. Even the thought of doing a business plan now is almost pointless until we get some clarity !

@EdwardTreanor The rotary will be in sooner than we thought !

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

No better place to be when things are going right.
Cows still smashing graze outs without any mower🌱
Still pumping it out too just sitting over 2kgms. #happydays

First time in a while back in the home parlour. Almost nostalgic 😂

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

Quad on the home farm, Jimny on the other. I know which farm was more favourable to milk in this evening … #watertomilk

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

@AidanAidanmc Realistically he probably just dropped his lighter ..😂

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

Another piece of the puzzle coming together 🌱🌱

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

@cos_tommy @odonovaneng Serious job Tommy. I guess we’ll just have to call down for another buildings feature 😂👌

Tractors, Jeeps and cars gathering in Clonakilty show grounds to show solidarity with European farmers #Westcorkfarmerssayenoughisenough

@stepheno_keeffe Word on the street is they’re trying to delete any remaining Ayrshires off the system 🤷🏻‍♂️

@amierin Hi Dan. Can you PM me ?

[Declan Collins @DeclanCollins13]

@TaeSavesLives You’ve got another hour or so drive if you really want to go deep into west cork. Don’t think you’ll find any chargers down there though 🤔

Padraig French shows data from 2023 calf markets.
Calf age had no bearing on price but weight had a significant effect on price of calves sold.
2024 focus should be health and weight gain of calves in the first 2-3 weeks and breed for higher beef merits
