Jesus lads they`re mental aren`t they?
Saw a limousin weanling try to jump out of the ring in Kilmallock on monday, mad baxtard then went in behind the protection bars where the drover is supposed to take refuge and burst his way through.
I know a fella who brought in Limousin bullocks for testing one day, the first mad fcuker jumped straight out over the front of the crush which stood about 6ft 6. Never dawned on the mad hoor to attempt the four and a half foot side gates. There`s just no reasoning with those hoors.
Anyone have any first hand accounts of these baxtards mad antics?

Had a tough 4 hours trying to load 10 of those --------s last november.... The worst jumped and landed on a 200 yr old gate, impaled itself on it.
Had to knock gate with sledge, load the lunatic on HIS OWN after that. With his front quarter ripped still managed to go through 2 ditched over a wall and another gate.
I was one happy boy when I got him to factory about 3 hours later.
I was too mean to shoot the -------- with the rifle.
Funny thing he made more in factory than the other 9 in mart,

I didn`t winter any livestock this year ss. I was just up there mooching around.
Do they swim aswell blueprint? You couldn`t keep up with them I`d say. I don`t think I`d let them inside the gate, I don`t care what sort of quality carcass they leave, nothing is worth that sort of hassle. There`s alot to be said for the polly - placid, hardy, early maturing, easy calving.

Did they slaughter him as a casualty kelticwave? Did you have much help loading those boyos?
I remember before they closed down Henshaw`s in Limerick, a few bullocks made a bid for freedom.....into the river Shannon! Can`t remember now if they survived their icy dip or not.

I remember giving a good two days chasing 40 of the f**kers around east clare one day when were testing them when I was a young fella. We had to get a fella to come and weld on an extra bar to the cattle crush as they were jumping it like champion steeplechasers. Mad baxtards indeed !!!

Not sure, he was killed within 3-4 hours of being injured, vet said none of the meat would be spoiled, so might explain ok price

Dangerous hoors. A few Limousin sucklers who have lost their calves are nice work. You`d to be dressed in armour approaching them.

So with the killer hanley, Mike houlihan and Liam Garvey and assorted South Limerick axe/hurley-wielders facing them ... they made a burst for Coonagh. Fair play to them, they could have bene the inspiration for Cows with guns.

Jaysus, testing the hoors was like a military operation. For days the oul fella would be leaving the gate into the yard open so they could "get used to it".
He`d roll-out a roll of white twine around ditches of the field they were in so we could pick it up and walk in behind them. But they`d f**king know there was something up. You`d see them looking at you, heads up in the sky, mad for running.
Then if they turned and made a run just before the gate my oul fella used to say, "Fuck it anyway, they smelled the Vet!"
My mother and father used to be fit for the divorce courts after them.

This is a real blast from the past. I used to work for a vet in my teens, doing the book when he`d be out testing. The first thing I`d do every time we arrived on a farm was scan the assembled herd (assuming they had been assembled ) to see how many of these +++++s there were. The size of that figure generally dictated my mood for the rest of the morning/afternoon. I remember asking the vet one day what it was that made them so much more mental than other cattle and his reply was: "They`re French".

never had much truck with em. friesians was the breed of choice on the ranch.
were farmers thick years ago. jesus calves were left out of old dark piggeries which were serving as calf houses and straight into a field of grass without ever having exposure to light, grass or open space.
It used to be great craic watching the fcukers go mental when they were left out. Wire, gates , ditches meant nothing to them. always one or two of the fcukers that would end up several farms away that it would take a few days to get them home

I`ve had manys the run in with the unstable limousin. Trying to round them up for TB testing is like a scene from platoon at times. Neightbours, dogs, neighbours dogs, all trying to contain the enemy but failing as the limousin has a great talent for spotting the weak spot in the chain, the limping uncle or the 70 year neighbour would usually get a barrel of fcuks fired at them when the limousin would make the break through enemy lines.
And then you`d eventually get them in the flock and the less experienced campaginers would assume the battle was over. Twas never over... Then the sound of the vets jeep rolling through the yard would set the dogs off, this in turn would send the limousins into scuttering spasms, spraying the lad behind, he`d try to take refuge and put the head under your man and he`d eventually fall to the ground in a sandwich. Meanwhile the lad at the back of the crush has the two front hoofs landed above on the adjoining wall and the back bar holding him in is surley going to give... The vet arrives, assess`s the situation and trys to brave it.
Then theres the dehorning and castarating, but thats for another day.

Sure the alternative was no better SS,the madest bovine beast I ever saw was an oul Fresian stripper we had once,took her to the Mart and did`nt let her go,on the way home she jumps the creel (at least 7 ft ) and heads for Poul- na- Cherry Bay without missing her stride,took the next 4 hours of running ore fields and ditches to get her home (the bitch ) if I had a gun she was dead for sure.Sold her after to a cattle buyer for 10 quid less,you live and learn.

Apparently there is a breed of deer in them. And it say alot. The spawn of satan IMHO.
Add some of the b*****ds years ago. Had to put 2 strand of electrix mains fence over the crush to do anything with the f**kers and they would still try to get out.
