    Nice outfit, Good big calf and she'll be a right good calf in the back end too judging by the milk the cow has:)

    Thanks, she needed a hand calving, big calf. Awful hassle getting the calf to suck, calf very weak . Cow was weak enough for day or so afterwards too. Both flying now.

    Hi Bizzum,

    The latter bull her in May/June 2012 to calve in Feb/March 2013 @ 3 months shy of 3 years so should have developed well by then. She out of a good big wide White CH X FR cow that has great milk so she should have it both ways as she came fancy herself from the lim

    A nice easy calving Limousin for the BB heifer is what I'd recommend - something like Milbrook Tanco or if you're looking for a calf with strong maternal traits then think about Neurf.

    I don't see why you couldn't put a BB on the cow again.
