TVR is a class looking young bull but there are no calves off him yet,so really his calving difficulty means very little to me, take ERE standing in Dovea for example when he first came on the scene as a unproven lim bull out of tully, his calving figure was aout 3%,"ideal for heifers":rolleyes:. Today this figure is at 21.79%, i have heard of a good few lads who ran into trouble wit this guy on heifers and cows.

A similar situation would be with cottage devon.

In Dovea we have found PAM to be good on heifers,

Also has anyone on here used or seen may calves of the lim bull Haltcliffe Dancer, i hear hes breeding super stuff!

Have a bull calf off Dancer. No problem with calving. Great muscle on him. I bit disappointed in the length though. Time will tell, how he fills out!

just do it

I love this heifer and im hoping whe will be a great cow in the future for me, she a CH (TZAR stock bull) from a SH X saler red roan cow, she only 14 months and 490-500kg great size and weight for age and dam was milky

She's a smashing looking heifer alright. And I bet she's quiet? What will you give her? Looks like she's calf a bus for you

She is not very Quiet but improving, I'll give her an easy calving lim to start off , to give indication of her growth yellow yearling beside her is her compadre that I bought with her and there is 9 days between them in age and same bull

She cycling every 3 weeks but I'll hold her to calve down in Dec 13/jan 14@ 32 months

you must have good land jerdee, if you went into alot of my fields now with a roller you wouldnt be coming out again

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've trawled through the pages here looking for an explanation.
I use imageshack, but all my pics are appearing as thumbnails.
How do you get them up in larger format?
I have used the bulk uploader and the site itself with single upload, still the same result.
Any advice?
Thanks.

if you go onto imageshack, look at your photos and beside each pic there should be a few icons on the right hand side, hit i for info, you should see a some info pop up, if you use the link with forum beside it, pop that into your boards reply and the full pic should come up

The CH to the very left is already sprouting one! Quick Muckit! Get the bucket!

PatQfarmer

Jeez, I am thankful for dry Tipp land. It may burn up on occasion, but it will never flow away...unless you're beside the River Suir, that is:)
Sympathies, muckit. Forecast doesn't look any better either!

A simmental cow breed by HKG from a white head cow. shes only had one calf and shes calving in november to ICR shes one of our best cows she has loads of milk

This is a red angus heifer by LZE just gone two years old shes calving in november as well to HCA. Shes bred off a charolais cow and should have loads of milk. ya can see in the photos shes already bagging up.
And the shorthorn cow in the first picture is calving at the end of august to PDA hoping for a heifer calf.

the pictures dont do them justice

Heres our stock bull, Hes by genial and coming an 8 year old in October, Calved 36 to him so far this year and only had one handy pull with a 2 year old heifer out of him, Hes the most active bull I have ever seen for his age...40 cows is only a hobby to him. Have a lot of heifers out of him and 3 different people have said to not sell him without letting them know and was thinking about letting him off the end of August because there is just too much stock around out of him. Hes very fit and active and was let off the winterage for the winter, he got no feeding at all at all. What do ye think he is worth as a breeding bull? Theres 2 if not 3 good years left in him I reckon. Hes breeding well too and has 4 stars for milk across breeds.





A few calves out of him in these pics.

Smashing calf there. Will you keep him as a stock bull for yourself or when will you sell him

i just don't have many cows to suit him, i'll give him a few of my own and probably leave him to the old boy for a while, he has serious cows.
