    Ch2304 maybe

    Hasn't got high enough rel for my liking, prefer over 80%. Ch2000 is 3.6% at 91% rel, though i know that can change, his sire & mgs are very easy calving too so I wouldn't expect a massive jump.

    What's the deal with Ulrich? Breed is CH on the list but open his data and he's
    BA (6.25%), CH (56.25%), LM (12.5%), MA (6.25%), PI (6.25%), UN (12.5%) :pac::confused:

    Used him once. INRA 95 is what he was goin by at the time. Ordinary enough calf, wouldn't bother with him again.

    Anyone here use progressive genetics??

    Highfield Odran SA2153 is an easy calving option for heifers.

    If he was a dog they'd call him a designer crossbreed :-)
    He was in the catalogue as INRA 95. I seem to remember them calling him the French BB.

    Disappointing is what I'd call him.

    Ahhhh, I see now, the breed is termed Inra95, couldn't find any photo searching for Ulrich but now can see him once I added the Inra bit. Breed looks a bit out of proportion with short little legs and long body and the bulls are different colours.

    Dogs were going mad here at 2 am, turns out there was an attempted robbery at the shop up the road at that time

    Let me guess.
    They tried to get in through the roof?

    Seems to be the preferred method now.

    no tried to break in through the wall, went through my parents garden to get into shop- which is next door to their house. They wouldnt have been on cctv by going in the back of the shop. Had the chain link fence cut at the back of their house and all. Both parents are sick at the minute so didnt notice the wire cut .

    Better off sick and not be going near them feckers.

    The neighbours had a shop and post office here. It was broken into through the front door, back door, roof and windows.
    The wires would be cut and more damage done to the building.
    It closed 2 years ago and it was broken into a few months after it closed.
    They obviously weren't locals.:rolleyes:

    Hope your parents get well soon.

    How long should you leave ground that got slurry before rolling it or does it matter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,262 ✭✭✭Farrell


    I wasn't going using him, lol. Just stumbled on him as I was looking for the ch with easiest calving, can't get NBC or OSI at the moment. Coom Indurain is the best i can find but have one due to him in a few weeks so will judge by her calf.
    Try CH2195
    FIL has a nice calf from a CHxSHX cow

    Stars doesn't suit me for the scheme though, plus not any carrier of that ai station locally:(
    Anyway I just won €220, at bingo so I'm happy out. New calving jack is on the cards so will put it towards that, might bring some luck to it!:pac:

    I don't think it matters but I'd leave 2 or 3 days for it to dry up a bit first.

    Never roll here for fear I'd loose the roller. But just as a matter of interest is it silage ground you roll for stones around headlands?

    I am rolling the silage ground as the tracks left in it after umbilical spreading are bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,171 ✭✭✭✭Muckit


    Use mounted chain Harrow here for levelling out. Great job for poached ground too. Pulls clods into the hoof marks.

    You could use a few sheep for that job too!!
