Do the pylons bother them at all.Happy out. Plenty of grass in Leitrim. Ground in great condition too. Hope we get some warmer weather to bring it on again.

That sounds better money than here, we get €127 in total for the massive steel pylons regardless of how many are on your land. We have 4 steel pylons, 15 three phase poles and 12 telecom poles here and €127 to show for it all....Not one bit. Its a 110kv line from arva to ballyshannon. There's fibre optic cable on one of the lines too. Huge compensation from them too - not. €35 per set of poles per year

Not that I know of yet but an increase would be welcome! They're here since 1985, might get a rebate....Has this changed lately? I thought it was a per pylon basis, two and a half of them here :rolleyes2:
Similar to here but sure the parents get a lot more in way leaves than thatThat sounds better money than here, we get €127 in total for the massive steel pylons regardless of how many are on your land.

Yes they were bulled to shorthorn last year, have changed to Charolais this year thoNice stock 100-90DT, do you have a Shorthorn bull?
Coming to the end of the bdgp scheme, we sold off our Shorthorn bull a few weeks ago too. Everything to the CH this year. The Sh did us no harm. We have some lovely breeding heifers off him.Yes they were bulled to shorthorn last year, have changed to Charolais this year tho

He's 5 years old. Got the toe done, some of his offspring have a tendency for long toenails. Hopefully he'll spend a good bit of time on his back legs, he's a compact buller but I suppose that's up to the cows.God help them . 25 cwt at least.
That is some bull.
He could have done with a visit from the hoof trimmer , especially with the weight he is carrying . Just in case he goes lame during the campaign .
Might be worth a call to Lar McKenna per this article:That sounds better money than here, we get €127 in total for the massive steel pylons regardless of how many are on your land. We have 4 steel pylons, 15 three phase poles and 12 telecom poles here and €127 to show for it all....
Very interesting, it doesn't mention standard compensation per pylon or per the lot of them though. Because we are receiving €127 annually does this not mean that we have/are being compensated though?Might be worth a call to Lar McKenna per this article:

It says that cases are being brought for poles and pylons that went up in the last 10 years. The ones on our land have been there since the early 70sVery interesting, it doesn't mention standard compensation per pylon or per the lot of them though. Because we are receiving €127 annually does this not mean that we have/are being compensated though?
