It a kind of multitool. Slashook, herding stick, back up kayak paddle, garden spade and ball hitter. Endless uses really, you should invest!! I made that one myself, do you a good deal for one

bogman_bass

where did you find a 24" hurl to stand up against the calf?

Following this lad yesterday. Had a lovely mural along the length of the tank. Pastoral scenes in multi colour, with cows grazing in a rural idyll. Looked wholesome and healthy. Then this warning on the back side!

1 ton of a 7 year old limousin bull that had been isolated from the females. Every new gate here will be a heavy duty one in future.

2 for the bull in July, lim x shorthorn heifer on the left and cf61 heifer on the right. Lim about 350kg now and cf61 about 370, be happy if they were 400-420 to bull them. Neither are going to be huge big cows anyway.

Ya she's out of a very milky cow. Born the end of April and was about 330kg coming off the cow in October with no meal fed on rough grazing. They are a bit scruffy looking after the winter now but if the hit grass in a few weeks they would take off like a train.
