The year and a half heifers. Have done a serious thrive lately. Half sorry I didn't bull them this year, the heaviest of them are shaking 500kg at the moment.

Limestone Cowboy · 19-08-2019 05:11PM

Few more.

Super stock LC

Super heifers, what's your plan for them now?

patsy_mccabe · 19-08-2019 07:26PM

Pity not to bull that middle heifer that was genotyped. I love that kinda shape.

Limestone Cowboy · 19-08-2019 08:49PM

14 there, all for the bull next April.

She's a carbon copy of her mother. Lovely to look at but not a great calver. Had a few desperate pulls with her.

Super stock Lc, that red girl with the white face is going to be some cow. She's a cracker.

Ya she's out of a really good handy size breeding cow. Had her picked as a replacement the day she was born.

How do you get any work done, I’d spend my days looking at the view.

Amazing cattle. Fair play to you.

Are you increasing numbers or have you a good few older cows to go?

Ya I'm after renting a bit of extra ground and I wasn't overstocked as it was.

Cracker, the ideal cow imo.

A PBR Ampertaine Foreman x Fieldson Alfy heifer I bought recently. Just gone 2 years. She's grand and quiet and 5 stars for milk. She's a bit leggy but we'll try and pick a bull to suit.:rolleyes:

Both herself and her mother are genotyped.

Was she out of Gortalea Patsy? He was a fine Bull, couldn't understand why they weren't scanned

Yep, Gortalea. Don't know if he was the bull or not as they had 2 bulls. They should have had a proper ICBF pedigree catalogue aswell. Could have done that very easily. Unless you looked up each individual animal, you wouldn't know their breeding.

Great idea till she kicks the bumper off

Farmer Dan · 24-08-2019 06:18PM

What would you do with these, mart or Factory?
29 month old, AA. Not getting meal.
What do ye think if them.?

bogman_bass · 24-08-2019 07:12PM

Are they fat enough for the factory? I think so.
Which would get the better price? Good question....

High bike · 24-08-2019 08:03PM

Mart you can brim them home if ur not happy

Farmer Dan · 24-08-2019 08:32PM

Thanks. I know it's hard to judge from a photo.
Would ye take a stab at approx. weights?
Haven't been to a mart lately, how are these type of cattle going.?
