    hi bizzum,

    The cow is a massive beast and what originally drew my attention to the calf she seriously wide, roomy and deep looks like she would calve anything.. Very milky too, so hopefully she,'ll work out

    I kept an EDJ heifer last year to bull but disappointed in height of her but this years calf from same cow and BYU is much taller in comparison (please see pic attached) big, square and long and growthy... i just wondered if anyone had any experience of BYU´s offspring as cows?

    Thanks

    [MOD] This thread is drifting away from its intended purpose of 'Photos', with a good bit of general discussion of the subjects raised in some of the pictures.
    Here's how the thread will work from here on: photos are posted as usual; if discussion arises from one, the original photo post will be COPIED to a new thread of its own and all subsequent discussion arising from it will be MOVED to this new thread. A link to the new discussion thread will be inserted into the original post here.

    VERY off-topic stuff will be moved to the farming chit chat thread, or deleted.

    We'll do this with now with the most recent active ones. [/MOD]

    Lads, some of the posts on the thread went way off topic of the pictures lately. There were pages and pages of just chat which didn't relate to the pictures at all. We discussed it and decided on the above just to keep it interesting and tidy. We're not deleting anyone's post - just if its not on topic, it will be moved to somewhere appropriate.

    We're not trying to be harsh on anyone. This is a great thread, we just want to keep it that way. For anyone that isn't familiar with the F & F forum and stumbles across it, the pictures are a great bit of entertainment. Pages and pages of off topic chat are just boring.

    Other forums on boards.ie have similar photograph threads and operate the same policy.

    A pic or 2 to get back on track!

    A SimX (Sire KFY) out of a Lmx cow, and her Part calf by Sirex. The cow is back in calf to our stock CH bull. This Part calf will probably be kept for breeding.

    The Lim cow (By Ulysses) mentioned above with a Sim calf at foot, looks like a bull calf but is again by KFY so a full brother to the cow above.
    So she is the granny and Dam of the two above!

    I think its in a farmers nature to ramble on a bit and explain the breeding of a cow or calf in the picture in fairness or so on. If it wasnt a picture of something you were proud of and didnt want to discuss you wouldnt post it here in the first place. And sure is the forum not for farmers and people who are interested anyway more so then the lads who just scroll through it for a minute. Im not attacking yere decision mods but I hadnt seen anyone giving out about it. Too many nitpicky rules and stuff takes the fun out of it a small bit.

    Ah come on lads, this is childish. What has changed?? Nothing really, only the thread is tidy and on topic. Everyone can still post and discuss the pictures. It operates the same way as it always did. The only change is that if there is going to be page after page of text as opposed to photographs, it will have a thread of its own. Nobody is restricted from posting.

    Now, suffice to say I've not been around that long, but people will discuss a photograph thread as if they are in a mart, it's common sense (to me) to pick the brains of a fellow breeding similar cattle.
    What makes sense in one thread doesn't always work in another but I do like to read about the breeding and other people's comments, it helps me to become a better judge of cattle.
    Now I see what you mean about needless comments on the photo thread, but all I have seen so far have been referring to a certain photo.

    Just my three cents. It's like banter in the mart, but online, farmers wil always chat, and more so after looking at cattle. It's very awkward to switch from the photo thread to chit chat to discuss an animal< plus follow on readers would be lost.

    All that I can say is try it out. We think that it will make the thread better for all. If, in a week or 2, we find that its not working, we and look at changing it back.

    We're about making things better, not worse!! ;)

    WOAH!

    I wasn't expecting this response when I started what is intended to be just a bit of tidying up with the intention of making the place easier to use. :(

    I think there's some misunderstanding though; the intention ISN'T to stifle discussion and chat, it's to encourage it and make it easier.
    Post pictures away and continue commenting on and discussing them as usual; IF a significant discussion arises about a particular picture, the original picture post will be COPIED out to a new thread of its own and the discussion posts will be MOVED to the new thread.
    Nothing gets deleted or removed, it just gets put together in one place for easier use.

    A link to the new thread gets put in the original post here, so that people can see that there's a discussion already going on on it, and can contribute there if they want.

    It's working already:
    There was a good bit of discussion of THIS POST scattered about here.
    The original post was copied and the subsequent discussion moved to THIS THREAD.
    A big ***DISCUSSION THREAD FOR THIS POST*** link notice was placed at the bottom of the original post.
    There have been 3 new posts to the new thread since it was created.


    As reilig says, can we not give it a couple of weeks to see how it works out?

    Also my apologies to reilig for doing this and then fecking off for the weekend, leaving him to defend what I did. :(

    If this is the plan going forward can I sugest that both threads are made sticky threads so we dont have to go searching for one or the other. I know a lot of the other forums do this.

    In saying that I'm with the others. I get the idea of it but many people here dont have reliable broadband and if you need to go loading multible pages its a bit of a pain in the backside but I'll leave it in your knowlagable hands

    Then what we're doing should suit you. Instead of loading a large page full of photographs which could take ages, you will get to load a single photograph with the discussion very quickly because its size will be smaller. It should certainly be better for people with unreliable broadband. :D;):D;):D;)


    We're working on the stickies. There won't be any major change with this work - just that popular threads will remain at the top of the page.

    I fully understand the 2 points of view here, and in the scheme of things the mods have probably called it right.

    BUT,

    I am regularly on another area within this web site and the Mods have it destroyed. This area has some excellent technical contributors who know their onions and the Mods (1 or 2 in particular) are constantly nit picking on the most ridiculous issues. I really enjoy this area of boards it has a nice relax feel to it (quite similar to the BFF, which has no signs of Mods and is the better for it).

    So keep the peace, but keep the common sense!

    Pic 004 is a BB (Maybe Joker) from a Simx cow. She is pictured in another pic.
    Pic 148 is the same calf I think as above, but it might not be either! One way or another it's BB X Sim.
    Pic 142 are 2 bullocks, both AI BB, Left is out of a red lim cow, right is out of a PB CH cow.
    Pic 263 is the Simx cow from above with a CH calf at foot.

    Of course the other way of looking at it would be to guess how long a Belgian Blue would survive in those conditions!!!

    They certainly wouldn't have saddlebags of mince hanging off their @rse, even if they survived.

    I think it's horses for courses, if I was keeping cattle in Oman, I wouldn't have an Irish AI man on speed dial.

    That would be north Offaly. Pretty flat alright, you can generally see only as far as the next hedge! The land type can vary from top of the range powerful land to bog, in the space of a few hundred meters!

    Yet another disaster photo:rolleyes:

    So we were putting out a few bags of turf in the bog today with the quad and trailer. I was driving all day but I got stuck and the auld lad sat up while i pushed him out........but he forgot where the stoppers were and sure enough he drove into the drain in front of him. The irony was brilliant after I getting a tanning for getting stuck. Nearly fell with laughter:)
