    these are some of my first PT calves, i dont finish cattle and would be hoping to sell as weanlings, I have ch bull running with cows this year, I still have same PT bull and he was with heifers, very very easy calving. I think with the right cow he would bring grand calves, have a lot of ch cows though which may not be ideal, he would work very well with red limo cows I reckon. black cows arent a good cross either as they bring a dirty browny black color from PT bull

    Let us know how you get on at the mart with them . I am going to chance a few black cows with the parth bull i thought the browny black colour looked well . Any one else like or dislike that colour ?

    Set up my lamb feeder today. Should have done it ages ago but I was in two minds about what I was at this year :rolleyes: I had to add the horizontal rails to the gaps to keep the ewes out, three of them made their way in at first attempt. They can still get their heads and both front legs inside the feeder area, but when they try to shove in the horizontal boards are lower then their hips :D Going to have to watch out for lambs inside there, some training to be done with the smaller gaps.

    That's some great scenery there in the background. I know they say 'You can't eat scenery', but it must be a pleasure to work in a lovely area like that.

    Do you think the PT on Ch cows wouldn't bring as good a calf?

    What do you do with the wool? Is there any market in Ireland for spun Irish wool for knitting.

    I think it goes to make carpets. The wool on our sheep is a lot coarser than lowland breeds.

    John you need to get yourself a welder.

    You're doing some damm tidy woodwork there, if you could transfer those skills to an angle grinder and welder then get the stuff galvanised you'll be set for life.

    Meet "Fly", we just got him today. 9 months old, knows his left from his right (always useful in a dog), comes back when asked :D Seen him work for the previous owner and he looks like he'll make a good working dog. He's a bit on the thin side so we'll need to address that and by the looks of him he's been in the odd scrap or two, he was with other dogs so it's to be expected I guess. Have had him out for a while and around the house, seems to have a lovely temperament about him. Mother is a collie and Dad is a Kelpie, both working dogs also.

    Thanks JB, very kind of you to say so. Funny enough but I was talking with herself about learning to weld a couple of months back. Really would need a decent shed to practice in I imagine. Was reading on BFF a perfectly flat floor is a great aid in that pursuit. I done metal work in school and ended up making everything out of wood, ironic :D

    A level smooth floor is worth the world for fabrication alright, but it depends on the size of the stuff you're making.

    You could make a good solid, level bench fairly handy too.

    but yeah a shed is probably the most important starting point.

    If you can tolerate the looks then a 20 foot container would make a nice secure starting point, just buy a set of earmuffs.

    this cow and calf are been looked at for the ploughing for the blue stand, this is the fat pig of a stock bull he never grew but seems to do the job if the cow is good enough, the calf is by him.

    God he's very small for such a big cow and BBQ. A cousin of mine has had a few Dwarf Calves over the last few years. This calf reminds me of some of his calves. You'll know in a few weeks if he doesn't grow. The cousin has it narrowed down to a manganese deficiency (he thinks!!) Might be worth keeping an eye on him.

    Thanks for putting up the pics.
    If you had to choose, what would you prefer - the Limousin or Blonde as a suckler cow?

    No. 012. Previous years calf from the same BAX cow again by Jaguar, incalf to FL22.
