    Not the nicest mammy though, had to use a fork to shunt her into the back of the other pen so I could drag him off the slats. Had even checked her late last night and decided she wasn't going to calve because her teats hadn't filled out :rolleyes:
    Fecking flighty cows, can never tell when they're acting off before calving.

    Have a few that are turning a bit wicked here too this year. Get worse as the years go on in my experience. I try to leave them to their own devices but not always possible.

    Would love to know what he weighs but have no way of doing so. Only found out last night she's a Navarin cow, never bothered looking her up on ICBF before. I doubt she'd fully go for me like a couple of others but I had to hunt her from the calf somehow and a fork seemed the best defense.
    To be fair to her she's never needed any help calving and she's had four bulls in a row now, I think after landing that yoke she does it best herself!

    You'd want to be careful of that buck Whelan :P

    Bathroom weighing scales, lift the calf and stand up on it, then weigh yourself and subtract the difference. Easier said than done with an 80kg calf mind you.

    It's this damn referendum. All the men still in the closet are waiting for the results to come in. If it's a NO vote, they'll all be back advertising next week again. .......


    Edit: That was a joke.....
