Pic 180: A Sirex heifer we had intended to breed off but went and got herself incalf as a teenager. Both are in flying form now, if the heifer goes on well over the summer we intend trying her again!

The blonde bull, looks better every day I see him, first pic of him from 3 weeks ago!!

He looks like a placid fellow - there's a lot to be said for that. My vasectomised bull is 17m old now and is getting wary so he'll be for the chop once he's his job done this Spring.

there a thread on ionesco bulls just thought i'd put up this pic. He's an ionesco son 14mts old in the photo was weighed the same day at 620kgs. (no stopping me now i've found out how to upload pics:D:D )Have to get out with the camera a bit more!! By the way class stock bodacious!! Really liking our 1st part calves too. No sirex though all Lry. Must try sirex next year.

Only tried one straw last year but would be impressed and will try a few more this year, id like to try that SNX Sannsonnett but only on a mature cow that is handy at putting them out

Here is a picture of the dam last summer as a heifer:

Them bits of horns were annoying me (she was sculled too young - as a yearling) and i thought they ruined her so i tidied her up there in the harvest:

He is quiet alright but you never know with a bull, hes still better than our own limo who if he doesnt go somewhere just turns and faces you. I'd try and buy the Blonde but I dont think he will sell him. Seen about 15 calfs by him out of 2 year old springers a week ago and they are top quality and only two had to be pulled. He was very poor when I got him first but hes thriving like hell, should be a fair animal in another 6 weeks if he stays going the way he is!!

I dont think he is breeding that well which is a pity because he is an amazing looking bull.

Here is a first calver out of Ionesco on the left. And that is her mother on the right. That was her first calf at 30 months. If only all Lims were as quiet as these two I'd have nothing else. Great mothers and loads of milk.

Nice pair. I could be way off towzer2010, but I'd say there's a strain of freisan somewhere back the line in that cow on the right going by her head... I could be way off?

That's a serious bag of milk for a LM

I'm with bogman on this. From what I hear the association are not overly happy with his performance. Can be hard calved and very hit and miss calves.

She has load's of milk alright. I bought her from a neighbour as a weanling and I don't know what she is out of. I have two other heifers out of her. They are both ch's but I'm going to keep them. The older one is already in calf to LZE.

i have 1 snx heifer out of a big black square lim cow,she turned out the most leggest yoke you ever saw,she then went on to have a cbq calf herself this year and its the best calf in the place.

Our own AI man used him a good bit he tells me and had every sort of a calf under the sun, including some that grew and grew up in the air and were narrow. Again he says he was hard calved.

I saw a calf of his on a very good pedigree part cow that had good calves every year prior and it was a poor bull calf. I've a notion his straws are dear too, but stand open to correction.

Any probs calving?

No JP , they absolutely spat them out.
To tell you the truth i was a little dissapointed with them as new calves , as i picked two of the best widest cows thinking they would have big calves from him , but quite the opposite , a heifer would have easily calved either of them .

not sure tbh. i suppose i am more fixated on easy calving, cos i'm gone for most of the day and there's nobody at home to keep an eye on things..

heifer calf, we will keep her.
we breed every thing to black and white, or some variation, and keep all heifers to breed through, calve them back in and sell surplus stock, we would sell 50-60 cows/heifers every year

As soon as we get the cows and calves back out i'll get a few pics of LRY calves for you if it would help. Found them very easy calved!
