new ICBF Proofs

Lime Tree Farm

I hadn't noticed the extra tab for Recording birth events, weight, presentation etc.

Anyone know if this is required or is it optional ? Or is this a requirement only for Pedigree progeny.

I see the €38,00 Limousin bull Goldies Jackpot, now scores in the bottom 1% for functionality. He's also in the bottom 1% for calving. Dear, oh dear!!!!!!!

Many people calve jackpot calves. What's he like for calving. Hows the quality?

The 1% funct is only at 62%.

The Jackpots I have seen have been generally very good.

Be interesting to see what the daughters are like as mature cows.

What's the main reason for the 1% funct. Sickled legs?

I read that as back to 1 star in replacement. :rolleyes: God he's some bull on paper anyway.

It would be good if icbf were able to pull forward the Oct proof by a week or so as might help anyone that might be short one or two animals to Buy the animal required to meet scheme targets

No doubt the Coronavirus will be blamed for the postponement.

I see that the department have extended the 31th October deadline for qualifying for the BDGP to when the November run of ICBF figures come out.

A bit puzzled by this - When I search a cow or heifer on www.icbf.com on the laptop, I can only see the animals Replacement Index. When I look on my mobile phone, I can see both the Replacement and Terminal indices. Why is this?

I'm in the BDGP scheme, so I can search females on ICBF.

New proofs comming Tuesday maby that could be something to do with it

GiantPencil

New proofs are out, I still see Female's not showing their terminal in the desktop app but showing it on th phone app. Salers are the top 4 for replacement, Ulsan being #1 now. Don't see much change on the Terminal side, lots of familiar names in the top 5 there that were there last update.

I have a pedigree Lim yearling bull here, who has now jumped up to 4 stars from 3. He's a fine looking bull. Would it be worth my while getting him Genomic tested?
If the scheme is going to end, is there any point?
If I test him now, won't it be 2 months before the results can be seen.

I expect we will see some version of the scheme in future.. with 5 stars farting less than 1star etc

I had a quick look on ICBF and lim society page, but they don’t look to be updated, I’ll look at the detailed ICBF page tomorrow.
