It's an old practice that has been banned for a number of years, they would blow it in there with their mouths (not using a compressor or anything like that) and it would make the cow uncomfortable so she would stand still and not kick. Theres no need for it anyhow, our heifers are always calm as by the time they calve and used to the dairy shed and being touched etc

Ryan_Songhurst mate i'm not on here to take the piss but to appeal to your common sense as to every person has an opinion and a right to it and you are right you didn't say everybody but that depends on what context people take it I for one don't have an opinion on you and nor do I wish to and would wish for that to be returned I respect all the opinions I read on this forum and the same should be returned in kind to all forum users this forum post started out on cruelty to an animal and staples but almost ends in a swearing and name calling episode and then with me receiving slight sarcasm for trying to put my opinion forward if you can't respect the opinion of someone how can you expect respect in return so mate try to lighten up we all work hard and don't like wasting time with rubbish

That must have been well before my time I've never heard of anyone doing that

Nothing wrong with staples if done correctly. Still get the hound to vets if it's a major.
Pig hunting is just another form of hunting, everyone is into different sports and hobbies so who gives a fuck. So long as huntings done in the most ethical way possible the jobs right.

Every pig hunter I have met seems to consider it some kind of badge of honour all the scars on their dogs. Why not just run bailers if you really have to use dogs? Or better still just run a pointer and shoot the bloody thing without stirring it up and chasing it halfway across the country before killing it.
I have never liked wild pork, have had it quite a few times (all dogged) and it literally makes me dry retch and I'm fairly certain that their diet and the fact they have died in extremely stressful circumstances has a lot to do with that

Bit like letting heifers fend for themselves at calving aye? Watched one run past this year with two legs hanging out the back. Maybe focus your animal welfare urges a little closer to home. Plenty of dairy "farmers" out there torturing animals.

I'm no enthusiast for setting dogs on pigs, but it is a 10,000 year old activity like Dairy farming. We have a shed on this property from the 40s. Still has the girls names written on the wall. Bessy, Blondie, Buttercup etc etc. How times change.

Christ theres some idiots on this forum.
With Tussock and Stingray being two of them.

You know nothing.

Ah but of course you do. Enlighten us, oh great sage of sweet fuck all.

Your thin on content.

And as Ryan likes to tell everyone, we move in the same circles, which is why I find his animal welfare sanctimony a bit rich.

Tussock, mate, I was beginning to think we had some kind of uneasy truce going on, so I'm gonna try hold my tongue, but if you had actually read anything you would probably understand that I do a whole FUCK LOAD of focussing my energy on animal welfare issues close to home. Now, about this heifer you saw, was that on my farm? Also were you expecting the calf to come out belly first or something?

Nah Tussocks proven himself to be that thick he thinks calves get delivered by a fuckin Stork.

Perhaps near where you were visiting when you were here last, can't say for sure. I never turn own an olive branch, so lets have an uneasy truce. I don't expect it to come out belly first. I do expect it to come all the way out and go into a trailer, rather than run from the grazing block back to the farm 5ks, while calving, with two legs hanging out the back. I'm on corner everyone runs their stock past and I was sickened. Its just fucking lazy. It was not you, so I apologize. We should not lump dairy farmers or pig hunters in together.

You a dairy farmer. Do you run your stock long distances while calving?

Certainly takes very little to get you to spit poison, I'm sure your just lovely to your stock

Holy shit...bashes head against wall, just once then walks away muttering)

People sure get there knicks in a twist on the Internet.....
