    Wrote a phone number in the dust on my dash last week :D

    I remember when the uncle bought a new car a few years ago, he said 'This car will never carry meal or hay in the back, tis the best car ive bought'....2 weeks later, he made 2 trips in the one evening, one with 7 bales of hay and the other had 8 or 9 bags of nuts in the back! :D

    A friend had this little lad yesterday, we weighed him today at between 75-80kg, out of a cwi stock bull. Never have I seen such a horse of a calf before!

    Poor cow. Some size of a lad!
    Was talking to our AI man in town today and he was saying calves are coming big everywhere this year from what he sees and hears on his travels.
    Silage quality with the good summer may be a factor.

    I was saying the same thing to him re silage quality. Funny he said that he didn't actually have an awful hard pull with him considering his size. Got up and sucked not a bother to him and was flying around the yard today.

    I think they have as much red in their heads as any man.
    I've looked at the photo again I thought they were limos but more like simmentals.

    Cows a Charolais Hereford cross I'd say. Cals a lim but it's very hard to get rid of the white head. He has a lovely KFY heifer from the same cow last year, she's as big as the cow already . Some bull to put growth into cattle if a little plainish.

    Thought you had them grazing the long acre there for a min! Fine looking stock I'd be afraid to post up my 'rashers on legs' which are probably the same ages as yours!
