    Serious calves there. Your own bull, or AI?
    If they don't sell well, time for all of us to pack it in.

    There all fairly quiet so we do just round them up in the corner of a paddock separate out the cows with some white tape and open off the electric fence into that little coral set up. They head on in handy enough. Smaller calves dont generally bother coming in but they will be held over the winter so lots of time for them yet

    They are all off our own charolais bull. Apart from a limosin heifer thats there. Shes off a belgian blue springerbheifer we bought earlier in the year. Earmarked to keep for a cow.

    I wouldn't fancy doing that with mine. I'll let mine into the shed and the calves will pass through the creep gates to the feed.

    I have a couple of calves off him. I'm happy enough with them. Probably the best angus going for the suckler herd ATM.
    Good for heifers/late calvers

    As for FL22 we had a lot of animals bred by him and with the exception of one hoor of a bullock we had no issues with him. great stock and very easy calved. Haven't seen anything to match him since he went.

    A planish enough march born bull calf off a lim springer. She must have plenty of milk though because he's well over 300kg without an ounce of meal got. Hopefully the new bull will put a bit more shape and less gut into her calves. 8F853231-ADCD-4FD8-8F78-E44DD089BFB4_zpsgu3es255.jpg

    Took a look through the weanlings this morning and very happy with both HCA and EFZ calves. 2 GJB bulls are ok but not as good as EFZ/HCA despite being out of good cows. Was hoping for heifers of course :rolleyes:

    It turns out it's HCA heifers I've coming through not FL22 and I'm not disappointed. Now that I recall I found the few FL22's I had to too lively for my liking as replacements.

    I have one EFZ heifer. Born tiny but shaping up well now at only a month old. I'll use him again, I think.

    Can anyone tell me how to put more than one photo in a single post?
    When I go into manage attachments and upload a second photo the first photo disappears and only the second one appears in the post ifykwim.

    Couldn't be simple could you:eek: Only ever used one of those at work. Ummm, you're choosing the file and hitting upload yea? Then when you go to choose another one, the first disappears?

    Could be just a glitch happening on the ipad for some reason, worked just fine for me trying it there now.
    If you want to put them up singly I can move them all into the one post for you.

    ah but an angus will never match the lim and I think its unfair to expect them too but they can serve a role for tightening up the calving spread or in my case I dont like too put too many generations of lim into my cows so in thast case the angus comes in

    True, I didn't see any calves off them. Serious land out there. The biggest problem they have is a lack of rain in the summer:)
