    Anyone any experience of these.

    just came across them from a friend of mine who reared a few on buckets with view to keeping for sucklers.

    Was looking on line and they seem to be good on both beef and milk, good formation, etc.


    does anyone know any more of them?

    Not knocking anyone here, but I cannot understand the need to import animals into Ireland. Unless we are importing animals that significantly add to the countrys gene pool. Germany recently had a case of BSE again so why would we risk it?
