a bit of soluble P and it will take the yellow tinge off it, or is it graze first and dump slurry on it to get it kickstarted

i would love some of it as well,i see some lads down this way instead of putting up the fancey shed they are buying extra land for outwintering on and then bringing in a better reseeding program for the over all farm by letting stocking rates drop.

maybe its just the contrast in the burren, but the greenness of the grass fields in the burren is something else from a distance. Most of the green fields are also landmarks, for giving directions:D

That's the one Rich, she fustered around until 1.05 am. Then she lay down properly and 5mins later job was done. Great comfort with the camera. I didn't go near the shed between 8pm and 1.30 am.

Thats dead handy , and you know yourself , if your arriving in every half hour or so to keep an eye on them , sometimes you cant help but disturbing her , and putting her off calving , and only prolonging the whole procedure :rolleyes: .

Yea that one of mine calved no bother last night around 11:30pm .
2nd calver . Had a fairly average Blue heifer .
Il throw a pic up of her tomorrow when i get a chance

Buy her an axe that'll keep her warm although she'd probably use it on you.

In calf heifers in the winterage, getting nuts with a few months but no silage or hay yet.



the heifer on the left is one I bought as a weanling and will be a 3 year old in march, the one on the right will be calving down as a 2 year old and will end up a bigger cow I think.



2 calves I seen selling in ennis tuesday in the one lot, If memory serves me correctly the were 340kg and sold for 1080.
