I bet the lad in Sligo selling his beef boxes at €14 a kilo ain’t got 200 acres….nothing like it, so it can work small scale.

And there’s the system in a nutshell mate, it’s designed to forever sell you this stuff….like spraying off a field, you will still have to spray it agin the year after and the year after that and the year after that and by the way, you will have to buy bags and bags of nitrogen to fix the lack of it in a monoculture grass field which you could have done totally free with mixed species sward instead……there’s millions of tons of totally free nitrogen just floating around in the air and clover and legumes will capture and fix tons of the stuff in your soil for free !! More than you could ever buy

Done a little research on these traps,they were designed for catching muskrat alive to restock marshes when fur prices were high.Nowadays the trap in good condition will fetch $1200

I can see it being easier to do on a very small scale and it probably can be done on a big scale such as a big estate with 1000 acres and all the silage in the world to bring home it’s the lads such as my sons who are stuck in the middle. As many cattle as possible with fingers crossed weather allows you make enough feeding. I think we’ve had 4 different salesmen here in the last week selling meal and horse nuts. Two of them were with different companies last year and both had the best nuts on offer last year but now they’ve changed they have the best again. Shithouses

@Halfhound I sent you a message with a contact, worth a look if you are looking to lower inputs. The lad has been all round the world working on this stuff, he knows his onions.

Ahh, now there is the can of worms and the bigger conversation mate. But basically, yes, it can be made to work on a bigger scale because it is being done right at this moment….not only abroad but in the U.K. as well (can’t remember the name of the big farming estate that does it but I’ll try and look it up) Theres lads here doing it, you can do the farm walks through an organisation called Farming For Nature….they are all getting a living mate…..difference is, most of them market their product as beef box direct sales but there’s a lad near me gets €14 kg for his beef and he is sol

Do you think your system would work at a bigger scale WILF? What your saying all makes sense but from what I can make out from this cattle game it’s no different from horses your trying to produce something that the market wants to buy. And in Ireland that is big cattle. Big difference farming for fun and making it into a business. I’m scratching my head on a daily basis seeing the bills that land here

We all know who did it and nothing will be done.

No inputs, no medication, just grass that hasn’t seen a chemical since I lived here.

Now, I’m a rank amateur and don’t profess to have any farming knowledge of capabilities beyond any other random lad you could lift out of a council estate…..but I did study this subject extensively. Now, over here it’s all cattle in the main and the given wisdom is “the bigger, the better”, killed at 30 months, start again along with all the prescribed medication/worming programmes as set down by the ministry ! My postman has 300 cattle and his bagged feed bill alone every month is €1800 ! But, during the course of my reading and studying I came across a breed of cattle called A

If we want to really climb down a rabbit hole, manure is full of weed killer residue and chemical treatments for animals…..!! But a closed circle regenerative operation don’t need any of that because everything feeds itself just as nature intended, regenerative almost eliminates inputs. Ive never routinely medicated any of my livestock because I have to eat it and hey presto !….none of them died !

Seen how dignified the Jews are on the news. Be different if it was Muslims.

I notice a combination of both animal manure and later in the season what looks to be growmore being spread by farm contractors on the local fields , which used to be amongst the best grey partridge land in the country at one time, even now as the houses are being built on them the place is full of skylarks
-
So it should grow live stock…..it can only artificially grow wheat and that comes at the expense of destroying the soil ! Nature always tells you what’s best. Ill also add, it need a chemicals to grow a monoculture crop but may not need chemicals in a mixed planting scheme in conjunction with over sowing, the soil can be adjusted naturally…..that farmer is just spewing what he has been told all his life by the same government bodies that get sponsored by the likes of Monsanto and Bayer !

A farmer nearly 100 know a bit more than me but here goes Victoriana times when fertiliser was used first places like the Yorkshire wolds which is basically a bit a sandy soil on chalk was shite for crops they had to grazesheep then use the fields now its the best cereal land in the country impossible without chemical fertiliser

No worries mate nice to see youngens getting involved in the breeding.

A cowardly attack by a bunch of c**ts. Cheers.
