They were strong enough, but one particular was very big and stone mad. He dragged me around the shed trying to get him in the crate. We let him off but then decided to put him in the crush gate. Low and behold he had no horns. Cow was a black and white simmental and calf was red and white. The AA polled genes must have carried through somewhere. Nice bit of luck for once. Shame to have just one yearling to poll.

Ya I use the loader every day, I suppose I'll have to wait I've the cows out. Or else buy a new tractor. Christ I'd love a new tractor, something shiny and expensive for me to break

Only got the cattle up there this evening and there is prob 3 weeks of grazing...and also we havnt been able to put fertiliser out so that's going to delay things as well.... This calendar farming is going too far....
