    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.

    its there way or the highway ha... same as that only a small herd aswell it does be nice to go over old records it does remind me of the cows that it all started with some good old cows and the nicknames that went with them....

    I do. Well. Used him a nice bit too. He was a useful bull enough too on a cow with size if I recall correctly!

    HWN, HOLLOWTREE NICKOLAS is by Hari Kiri. They both look very similar too. I've used HWN but not Hari Kiri.

    Hey Legwax, anymore videos like this and you'll be getting shippers PM'ing you for a phone no. Great cattle, as a local auctioneer would say 'this man has em good'

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    the lad on his own is a comrade of the bulls on kale,but this guy is very timid and would not eat meal with the rest when i was feeding along the wire so i said he would not do out for the winter,pity i did not bring in the other shapey bulls as this fellow has left the others behind now,hes going to be just nice for sale in feb.remember the little runt of a calf with the blonde cow that i put up a pic of thats him at 2.47 on the film.

    Thats it! I'm never looking at another picure or video of Leg Wax's stock again. It's just depressing to see a lad that far ahead of you in the breeding game!

    thanks for that:confused:, but i have been traveling lately looking at part bulls and i am finding out how far behind i am,i am coverted from now on its bb in the ai gun and part bull to mop up, cant get a bull that i like for this season but have bought a bull to get me out of trouble ,all the good bulls are been sold a year before they can serve a cow so will go shopping in the summer again for next year.

    why do you think your behind? another question,I think you said there before you used to milk, are you able to maintain your farmer income on sucklers compared to the milk, also when you got out of the milk had you bred some of your own sucklers or had to start from scratch and buy in cows/ heifers. the reason i ask is your calves all look fairly consistant good quality so just wondering how you build up the cows to that level

    i went into 2 yards in the last 2 days both men had 60 or so sucklers both were part men, the cows were amazing and the calves even better,i can tell you part is the way ahead for shapey cattle.have i the same income now ,no,but i am earning more per hour worked compared to milking,theres no work with sucklers compared to milking i have all my work done with 80 sucklers on a normal day in the time it took me to do 1 milking.i mind the children do most of the house work .i sold the milk cows and bought in everthing.if i see a cow or heifer that is better than a cow at home i buy her,as you know i dont put money into fancey buildings because its the cow that makes the money not the concrete.

    i know a top quality suckler farmer in the south east who has won some awards.he changed from limousin to partenise a couple of years ago.worst move he ever made, too many uneven calves no uniformity at all.be careful

    I would hazard a guess and say the reason there is a lack of uniformity would be that the breed is relatively new and not well established here?

    Not an expert now but I am guessing that uniformity will come with time.
