Sympa (SYP) cow. A good example of how a cow with very little milk will hold condtion well. Fingers crossed in-calf to Bavardage (AGB). Hoping to add milk and a bit more size.

Lovely heifer. I've seen a lot of Foreman bulls but this is the first heifer. Hows she for docility?
Did you get the straws from Elite Pedigree Genetics? I see Semenstore.ie now have Foreman and Gigolo.

Bought her. She's very quiet. Out of an Alfi cow. Savage top on her and very well built. Won't be the biggest but will be fine hopefully.

Lady Haywire · 10-10-2018 11:14AM

First to be weaned- the Jan ZXT heifer who used to sleep in the stone bag

Feck all feeding bar nuts used to bring them into the yard so very happy with her.

Muckit · 10-10-2018 05:53PM

Yep, she's a keeper, which is the main reason she wasn't fed. Lovely character too, dunno how many times I was keeled over laughing at her as a calf

Not round here. Cud have a like for like ch weanling. 1 white 1 golden. The golden will command 80 to 100 more.
Noticed when Finishing cattle the golden ch will thrive like a bear compared to white ch

Ya some of them real white cattle can be very hard and not easy to flesh

Exactly, see the yellow as softer to finish.

Lady Haywire · 14-10-2018 01:02PM

Few of the younger ones. Wasn't able to dehorn some of these with the hot weather. Once you get maggots on a calves head it's a bit of a mood killer for doing them in sun :pac:

May THZ lad off a RHF cow. Background is a late June Crossmolina Jupiter bull.

Two hairy salers off Ulsan, left is a May bull off a blondeX that almost got killed by a cow attacking his cosi-jacket. Right is mid March off a THZ heifer.

April orphan off a useless Virginia Andy 2nd calver.
Sold the cow when he was 4 months- No milk, jumped like Shergar and wild to boot, couldn't deal with having her around any more

Lady Haywire · 15-10-2018 09:40AM

Another Ulsan, this is the tart who's 3 months incalf to next doors ch bull :pac: Still no idea where she got out or he got in. Will be 22ish months at calving so not ideal but she's growthy.

Muckit · 15-10-2018 09:55AM

You have a great pic of grass there yet and lovely and green. Sweet heifer too btw !
