    She was 15 months when that photo was taken. She was actually carried by her own mother but had to be fostered onto a simmental cow who had lost her own calf as the mother had very little milk. She is after a stock bull who was a son of Daffydd D'ochain and the mother was a Ballygrange Alex daughter.
    I am going to sell her on in the next couple of weeks as I have a few embryos in storage for the last year or more and she should free up a few pound to help fund the purchase of recipients to carry these embryos.

    Pic 112 and 113. A freshly calved LimX BA heifer calved down at 26 mths.
    Bull calf at foot by FL22.

    Pic 114. Almost full sister to above heifer. Approx 680 kgs.

    These 2 heifers are by the AI Lim bull RSJ, they were born within a week of each other and were like peas in a pod.
    Pic 114 is out of the nice BA x CH cow I posted recently.

    Nothing useful to add other than to say RSJ is a class code for a bull :)

    If you want some of the action you may get straws quick, it may even be too late, he could be gone. I can nearly tell all his calves here to look at their heads, lovely tidy heads on them!

    lovely grass, great set up you have there, how many rams do you have in there and do they not knock 7 bells of Sh*t out of each other ?!

    Too many, four adults and two lambs out for practise, just the way it worked out, two rams would have done. When i need to mix them, I put them in a tight area, a pen, trailer, or shed, for 24 hrs, they will still fight, but as they haven't room to charge at each other, they don't get hurt. and then under observation in a bigger area for 24hr and that usually works.

    You probably know that rams fight after shearing, you have to use the same method again

    can understand it when theres a massive mad cow up your butt, you're just happy to get the tag in full stop:o but in a scenario like the picture there's no excuse

    I could never look so serene while having a calf backed up between my legs against a corner.

    TBH, I prefer the calves tht put up a fight......regardless of strangers taking my picture for the comic.

    (although fair play to her for winning it, I feel sorry to make fun of it.......but stillll.....show yer good side ladies, not the effin' scan side):D

    I don't know the lady, but I'd say she's tagged more calves in a year than some of us on here will do in 10years!(she's milking 180cows and God knows how many heifers she calves down each year) Her husband has some form of disability which means that she does the lion's share of the work on the farm.

    I don't think there's one of us that hasn't EVER put a tag on wrong at some stage. And that's without a camera stuck in your face! If you wanted to be picky her posture is all wrong too. She should be kneeling down over the calf with her back straight!

    But I suppose we wouldn't be Irish if we weren't knocking the doers.
