    Thanks, that's good to know. Keep telling the cow that if she doesn't have a heifer calf you'll get rid of her. It works wonders for me;)

    Didn't work for us.....cow in right background is coming 13 next year, still waiting on that heifer. Although she had two absolute crackers of twins last year.

    A bit of grá here and there never hurt a cow. Surprised the hell out of us last year with those boulders though.

    No I think they get a percentage of each animal sale.

    probably vary between marts, and type of sale, sheep vs cattle.

    Nice stock, good luck to you.
    Do you keep until they stop breeding, or is there a cull factor (age/price to replace)?

    No set culling age, it depends on how they age:D She's starting to get arthritis now so have to keep her on the mats during winter.

    I don't mind these ones (our house is full of them!) or the red mites or the cute tiny black ones. But crayturs such as yours above are to be avoided!

    Pure boredom! Off work at moment following accident .. I can do nothing so got a little carried away with the paint brush on those lot of bales for sure! Started thinking up of letters and then words as I went along .. The numbered ones were first cut from that field and I numbered those ones!

    You're sharp Kovu!
