do you cut much slurry?? 

slurrying the second cut ground after its cut :P

all he kept was few calves and young heifers and dried some good cows.

He now has got 40 heifers ready to step into the parlour when it comes, the 8 dry cows and 12 young claves  ;)

expensive job to be at is his parlour where the old one was??

hell yes peter they look excellent cant wait to get my paws on em ;)

ill put them to the second cut slurry in a fortnight

well done scotty ;)

The boy down the road from me just sold them all  : :D

the whole dairy herd!!! thatll cost some money to replace!!!

Understand where you are coming from mate - so will you be okay when this parlour progresses - can you still work away in the old one until its done or are you drying off so as to have no delays

the old parlour is on the other side of the yard when the new ones done we can go straight to it and then take the old one away- if you get what i mean! youd lose some money drying them all off!

I'm surprised you didn't go for a galvanised frame there Rabh - was the cost prohibitive

colm galvanisng is an excellent job- but the shed would work out around £15,000 dearer as weve only got 4 bays so far but making it 6 bays once the old buildings are taken away, we put a slurry store up last year, a silo and parlour this year and we thought we would save a few quid there, the only galvanised shed within 5 miles of me is a millionare developers store for diggers etc.

buildings coming on well mate.

slowly but surely

theres amore good entry bremner,noel and jez!!! the competion is tough this year!

looked like a good day fm some moneysworth there!

some plastering started on the clamp

again:

some more progress: the steelwork is complete for now

fine job there they look excellent!

that would be binghams if mcateers info is correct

mcateers a smart pup! its holding us up badly! his parlour was something like £170,000 alone without shed, milk tank and all the other costs of fitting one!

some sheep dipper there boy

Na don't think so, would love to go somewhere and find a trailer in stock and just take it home!

j.h. mcphearson ballycaslte had a 16 ft kane and a 16 ft herron in stock a week ago

No you can't go green mate - 3000 would pull that no bother

good pics like the FR and 10 ft pick up reel

two brave fresh looking yolks you have there rab mate ;)

ay weve a ts 100 and a 110 and a few vintage tractors too but want a 6830 or tm140

i was drawin bales home from an out farm and took these pics thought id put em here

my 7840 and 22ft kane

well you take er handy incase you wreck er ha ha!

the oldboy can do that ill mow or draw like that better

160 ft by 45 i think ours is around similar size takes a brave few acres ti fill it!!!!! i donn think ours has ever been full  :o :o is that the new shovel rab???

no thats the shed mans shovel we'll fill er sir ha ha! probably need 2 buckraking-contractors jcb and our 78 and redrock but when not needed she can roll it

if it had the square wings it would be from 1971 roughly but its round i think they were 1968-71 i like it anyway no matter what spec, ertl did an american spec 5-6 years back did they not? it wasnt as nice

Looking well mate

The boy down the road has the shed up and finished pretty much. Just waiting on parlour  ;D
