Would ye chance selling her at a mart?

No. I’d say finish her yourself.

Are you set up to push her hard in the shed? If not might be as well rid

A bit of ground I got to tidy up this year. Was like the neighbours bit across the way last year. Tidyed up the trenches around it, sprayed it, 3 bags of 18-6-12 and 4 bags of gran lime to the acre and topped it about a month after spraying. Still needs a few tile drans pulled in it but a massive improvement none the less. Nothing but rushes and moss in it this time last year.

Do you harrow to get rid of moss? Did something similar myself this year to bit of ground. And it's coming along. Didn't spray it all. Going cutting rushes this week now.ground is rough poached a bit but great year for this type of work. Lime after I cut the rushes. 18 6 12 gone out. Regret not taking before pics.

No I reckoned the lime killed it off. It's gone anyway.

I had 1 field with lots of moss in it, the sun this summer has got rid of every bit of it.

Blonde off a pb lim cow. AI'ed to TVR 2 weeks ago and beginning to regret not using the culard again.

He's actually rather plain when dried off! He's big & wide and well fed with a deep tail, but not got the panache the heifer last year had imo. Won't go hungry anyway!

But he ain't anything special yet! He's a nice calf but I see lots of nice calves at shows too. Very hard to judge a calf at a day old, never mind a few hours old. Must see if i can get him eating a bit of crunch or nuts, haven't seen him in the creep with the older ones yet.

Powerful are gone. Revenue had a bit of a field day there. Elite pedigree stock him I think.

Ah! Now those I can get. Will see, she's 17 days today so might repeat yet. Would prefer to see some calves first though, have you any?

No im going using him on a few strong pedigree heifers soon. Iv seen some very nice calves off him from a friend that's used him. Strong heifers will calve him and cows will fart them out. He leaves a nice cow maker that's not to extreme.

I've seen very good stock by CLOUGHHEAD UMPIRE (UPI) at Premier Lim sales but his locomotion figures are in the bottom 1%. That would put me off big time. I hate to see cattle waddling along. It looks bad on a breeding bull too.

I must learn how to go a bit more in dept into the figures like that. You wouldn't want to put him on a bad type on locko so.

patsy_mccabe · 07-08-2018 08:56PM

A lot of the UK Lim bulls fall down badly on individual traits. That's what happens when you pick untested bulls that look picture perfect.
