    Stock lim bull. Told the boss an angus may have been better last year and he's regretting it now. The calves are huge.i can barely hold them for tagging at 2 days old they are that strong.

    Any idea of the breeding in the bull? He sure aint suitable for heifers.

    We've had 2 calved this week, calves are massive.
    Allot is about the feeding of the cow too.
    We've 1 left, she's still in & on hay carrying to CH. Saw a guy let out his, cos he doesn't want to open a bale for 1 cow, & too proud to borrow hay. Just waiting for call for massive aax. Both times up

    We let them out for a few hours everyday just so they can loosen themselves out

    Could you stick his tag into ICBF bull search? Be interesting to know who he's by.

    Took the kids out of the house as herself is studying for an exam tomorrow. Photo from the top of the hill looking out onto Gurteen. Walked from the house across the top of the hill back to the farm.

    Sorry, the lens of my camera phone is a bit worse for wear, so a little hazy.

    Folks, can we tone down the innuendo and the casual racial/national profiling a bit?
    It makes the place look very juvenile, to be honest.
