    Did the heifer lick the cord off him?

    That bull is bringing fair lumps of calves.

    Mainly Sim cows is it? Lad your country had a clearance sale of good Sim cows a few years back. Delvin Mart I think at the time. Some great cows in it.

    With the right Lim bull, the heifers off them Sim cows would make powerful cows.

    Yeah I think the plan is to keep the best of this lot. Sell the rest and go again next year. FIL I believe must be trying to rebuild the herd but no conformation of this yet

    A concern I have is that as far as I can see gestation length is increasing.
    Where will it end.
