He had a few of them. Will see how this one goes. The cow is a long tall skinny Charolais🀣 was thinking it will end up being a plain calf.

Blues don't really cross well on charolais, won't get mad muscly stock usually

Ya thought the RWS would throw better. Sold one of them this week. Weighted 335kg at 225days old. But not as much muscle as I thought. Some of them cows have blue blood too. Keeping a few limos for breeding this year. Oldest cows got blue bull and could be their last twist.

Them white bulls are never as muscled as the black ones, used bb4399 and wbh here

Calve away with some help? This is my 2nd year of all AI, that's interesting 're the colour. When my dad used Ai, he used pick coloured blues alight.
The CH cows are throwing chunky calves alright but not explosive muscling

We' ll see, white bulls bring nicer colours, if ya get the cow right and keep the silage back from them, they should calve away,

Last bit of grass and natures shed!

I presume you haven't contributed to the "snotty weanling" thread

I haven't. Actually lost one last week but above any of them he was flying it with no coughing and I know the farm i bought him out of, so he would have been well dosed etc. Problem with weanlings is its not what you do with them, its what was done before you got them and the land they came off. Lots of weanlings pumped up with meal and still on their on their mother's and in the blink of an eye they are standing in a mart for 5 or 6 hours, then a trailer spin, let into in a cold damp shed on meal they may or may not have been on before and 10 others screeching and balling beside them. That's when the lack of dosing and vaccinations tells its story. Did all the cattle up to a 15mts old with Albex and turbo thrive 2 weeks ago and nice shine coming back on them again. Older cattle don't need a fluke dose here unless they are bought in that year.

Looks a good one, maybe the next 52k si bull ��

What sort of lucks penny would I have to give back out of that??!!

LOL,, €20????

What did you make of the bull making 52k? Was he better than anything seen before? He had great pedigree... Or was there some bit of payback and everyone wins with all the publicity?

I presume his straws will be available, would you be eager to use him?

I wouldn't know anything about the politics of it all I do know is he was the finest simmental bull iv seen in the flesh.
Hes gone to England so I dunno what the story is on straws.

Last calf of 2020.. first calver I bought a few months back

As they'd say in the mart...you're a judge..you're a judge...

To be fair I've bought a few off the same man and they are quiet as lambs which in the important thing. She's a big enough lady but hopefully will be lucky
