I know, haven't seen one arrive in her size in some time! Couldn't even get her head out when I had the ropes on her.

Your as well off you didn't manage to get it out. Would more than likely have got stuck on the hips and you would have a dead calf and a good chance the cow would be paralysed too.

Have a couple more to ERE, one is a little PB so will cut back her feed shortly.
Eh, looking at the calving book here we have used Thrunton Bon Jovi, Crossmolina Euro, Castleview Casino and also tried Doncamillo for the first time this year.

Thats a fair lump of a heifer calf Kovu. It's good to see the cow up after a section, it's some ordeal on man and beast!

Be interesting to see her all dried up later and next to the older ones!
Navarin (LM) out of a AA/CH plain cow. All our best cows are Nav bred, just lacking a touch of milk.

How did you end up on this site may I ask? Have you any conections with Ireland? Just curious.

I've no conections with Ireland, just I know a couple of farmers there and sometimes chat with them. I found this site by searching info about a couple of beef breeds.
