    never used him. he was on the gene ireland panel last year. saw a calf by him at a recent open day held by progressive genetics. Really class calf but came out the side door way too big. heard the man say he had one other section by the bull too.:cool::cool:

    Thanks tismesoitis,

    Thats not good i know he is/was new in from Belgium and had good height but the Dec 2010 ICBF Genetic Evaluations Service are also showing him fairly high calving difficulty @ 12.7%, so I am kinda worried now:(

    as long as the cows have no bb blood in them i think you'l be ok. the cow we saw that had d section was a simental out of a bb cow so in my opinion this farmer was asking for trouble!! make sure ur cows are only getting enough feed to maintain them. our springers will be finished their feed by 8 or 9 that evening and we have cows calve naturally to byu who is 16 or 17 % difficulty. when are d cows due to him?

    I reckon, apart from weighing and knowing the DMD and all that, that this is a good way to judge how much to give them. So at what time do you feed them at?

    May 22 and only the one(to SEU) she a big framed CH out of a British freisian she has had 5 calves no bother even twins so she should be okay, she is not mine but currently under my care hence the concern:eek: I wouldnt be half as worried if it were one of my own but she should be grand.

    They fed first thing in morning round bale silage and they're in good winterage so 1-2hrs later they gone up the field, they not overfed but in good strong healthy condition
