A couple of neighbouring farmers told me to leave him and not to worry and it's probably just his breed. <br /><br />Thanks Cumbrian.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-63950816493639192642012-05-16T01:29:04.452-06:002012-05-16T01:29:04.452-06:00Strange cure for a greedy bull calf, but pleased t...Strange cure for a greedy bull calf, but pleased to hear it worked, sounds like this little fella's gonna be a big bit of beef in the not too distant future with an appetite like that.cumbrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047500383078884463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-74231283714435486492012-05-10T01:32:09.921-06:002012-05-10T01:32:09.921-06:00Thanks for that Carol.

I believe farmers used to grow it in far off places like Yorkshire. <br /><br />I have a book called: The Complete Herbal Handbook For Farm And Stable : Juliette de Bairacli Levy. There are so many natural remedies available for free or very little. <br /><br />I think your bridle paths idea is brilliant. Or why can't there be a new national road built just for cyclists, horses and horse drawn vehicles? <br /><br />Here in rural Ireland many houses have 3 or 4 cars. You can go to town on a Friday and there is nowhere to park. I reckon if they did provide public transport most people would still drive their cars. I read somewhere that you can transport forty people in a bus for the same amount of diesel it costs to use a car for one person. <br /><br />Regular readers will know my regular hobby horse (like the pun) is to get on my soap box and rant about their being no infrastructure in the countryside - especially public transport. I just don't see why country dwellers should have to have their own transport to get about. <br /><br />Thanks Carol.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-18484986151773519232012-05-09T13:42:10.203-06:002012-05-09T13:42:10.203-06:00What an excellent idea!

They pooed out loads of dead worms!! LOVED yr old film clips, Dave! Am completely convinced that they must be like what Lithuania is NOW!! And, the oxen pulling the load of hay - how cool is that! All we need is Bernard Miles to walk on set! Oh and back to the re-jigging of bridal paths to allow horse drawn vehicles. I bet you the people who would complain would be the rich ones who use 'em to exercise their horses. And I don't reckon there's enough of those people to make up a baker's dozen per path!! And I only know that there's ruddy NO ONE on them bridal paths cos (believe it or not) I used to ride (out in Herfordshire!!) from when I was a kid, say 8, till I was 16 (and had to go to work!).And I can tell you that it wouldn't have mattered if they were tarmaced - the horses all wore shoes! Sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir!!! Just makes me so mad that you guys haven't got so much as one bus per day, just cos there aren't enough of you to kick up a big enough stink. And then everyone wonders why everyone is moving to the big towns! Sorry, sorry will get off me soap box!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
