    Great calf. On paper he’s meant to be easy calving. Was there much of a pull?

    Had to get the Jack out but the cow would have calved herself no problem if she tried any bit at all. Always spat out mbp calves by herself the last 5/6 years.

    The first batch of 2020 calves arrived earlier last week. We corralled them in the feed passage to vaccinate them with Rispoval RS+PI3. We've added a few more since but I forgot to take photos.
    Edit - feck it, the pic is sideways. I suppose that's better than my last effort when it was upside down.

    The heifers coming yearlings now. Got no silage all winter. Just 3kg of meal and running around the winterage. Grand and warm looking with the exception of the white charolais.

    What density are you running on the winterage? It would be great to out winter some but our ground is awful in the winter - totally saturated to the point where walking on it yourself is a struggle.

    Big drainage plans for it but doubt that will cure it sufficiently for wintering anything other than sheep.

    Ah it'd be very low. Depends on the winterage too, some are more grassy than others. Have 14 weanlings in 16 acres there.

    Super looking bull. Onwards and upwards. Fair play to you.
    Did he come from Leitrim?

    He's bruchag glenfiddich X clonagh direct debit x raceview king. 2.9 for calving, tiny head. Going to try him on the heifers this year. Have a good few more to bull this year so they are all staying for now anyway.
