    Hello All,

    This is a picture of a calf that was born last night. Anyone like to take a guess at her breeding or even the bull she is out of. I don't have a pic of the cow but she is a red white head LM.

    I'll be amazed if the calf is off anything other than a Charolais.
    As for which one, needle in haystack time! Prime Roberto.

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you lads / lassies. Ye are making progress.The breed of the calf has been correctly identified and has been posted. I won't say anymore yet.

    Here is another pic taken earlier. It doesnt help in terms of making a prediction though. I will take a pic of the AI docket and the straw when I get back to the house. All will be revealed then :)

    Ok. I have attached the straw used on this cow. If I were a betting man I would have said a CH aswell. Naughto and Legwax (no surprise there) were right!

    I've only noted recently that some AI techs attach the ends of used straws to the AI certs, maybe as proof?
    Was new to me last September anyway!

    I hope to Jaysus that no one ahem 'l c' reads this. Ours are left year by year in the open concrete blocks (But block by block'). We pretty know much off hand but could be stumped sometimes. All are recorded in the "sacred" AI book that dates back to 1992. So we know all dams and sires of our herd. 'The Red Book' as its known sits on top of the dresser and is taken down twice a year to cover the calendar and fill in dates.

    its good to see your embracing the computer:D we dont really record ai codes as much as we should but we always get a list of bulls used send out from the plant each year before calving. they keep records for years so its no trouble to them. the way we record the cows codes is on the icbf. were only starting ta do it in the last few years because we used to have stock bulls.

    No, according to Dad, we still need the stock filed every year online..
    So yes Dad, I will fill in the AI data and the AI time, plus GES estimate..on a book, despite me doing it online on a calendar which I sent already online.... Older generation though so cant say or do much..............except beat him at solitare:rolleyes:
    Though in saying that, we have a small herd so it's not much work.
