I think they've been done before, not sure. But yeah there's a serious kick out in the bottom of them. Not healthy!

I do not mind at all

We're in Kilfenora, but that photo was taken in Rah, just outside Corofin. Lovely spot on a fine day!

i tag my calves as soon as they are born... alot of the pictures on this thread the calves have no tags, when do ye tag them?... find it alot easier to tag the sucklers when they are born as it would be hard to catch them after

We try to tag every week if possible, along with the online events. Of course it depends on work etc. But it's rare for our farm to miss anything. Liking that calf off Rocky redzerologen!:D Any more recent pics?

no particular breeding there, her mother was a grand cow, black angus type cow, that heifer would have been from a stock bull from cf52, still have the cow but she got bad mastitis after weaning last year and has no milk this year so will have to move her on, I have a nice yearling heifer from the same cow that i might keep on as well..have kept on a good few heifers from that stock bull from 52 and they have worked out fairly well and no milk shortage. will be interesting to see how the PT calves work out when they arrive

Hope they work out very well for you:D
I do fancy that heifer though, a similar cow had a few prizewinners for me with TZA.

I know what you mean, a lot of c+p but you do have a lovely set up there. Making me feel small with the same sort of set up for 15 head (ish)of sucklers

Can I ask you what kind of money you paid to get the shed walls shuttered? Fella offering to do them for me for e10 a foot, n I pay for the concrete after that. He reckons he's doing me a great deal, but it pays to be suspicious!!
