No offence to other farmers but I particularly enjoy looking at pics of your stock.

The young whip just gone 14 months. Jagerbomb X on dit. Fed him outside with my own weanlings for the winter and didn't push him but he's filled out some amount since he hit grass.

Lovely calf with serious power

That's some change, well done.
I have about 15 acres to do this autumn, I'd be happy if I got 7 done half as good as that

I think you’ve answered your own question there. Good chance of a side door job with the likes of her. that doesn’t seem to bother some tho.
An R grade like the cow at the back of the pic would be better imo.

Track9 · 06-06-2021 03:20PM

Super job & the soil looks rich & good quality. Best of luck with it.

patsy_mccabe · 06-06-2021 07:56PM

Glad to have this one calved. She'd gone 298 days but still a handy heifer. Another Gamin (Zgm) .

tanko · 06-06-2021 08:48PM

Gamin is great for calving, never had any bother calving him even on well muscled cows.
Serious length to that cow, she’s hardly off On-Dit is she?

Mac Taylor · 06-06-2021 09:02PM

Serious bag of milk aswell...I’ve 2 to go will be glad when there done.

No, she's by Ampertaine Foreman x Fieldson Alfy. She's fair big alright. Lovely and quiet though.

If she was mine i'd put Curaheen Earp on her if going for a Sim.

Took your advice on this today Tanko. My AI man who is very good with advice said he is the best sim bull for cows.

I like him anyway, breeds a nice type of heifer and very good bulls/bullocks. He’s well worth a try.

High bike · 02-07-2021 10:37AM

A 2 day old THZ bull,cant get any closer due to visiting restrictions by mammy

I've a couple showing good shape that I'm going to keep all things going well. Can try something handy on them. SP or BA 1st time round and see from there. Surely they can calf them handy ones

Anto_Meath · 03-07-2021 11:53PM

They were painting the bell tower on the church beside where I have some land, so when the hoist was up they took photos of the of the area. They got this nice one of some of my stock..

They are thistles grow like hell this year, but I topped them yesterday..

whelan2 · 05-07-2021 06:49AM

Loads of thistles here too. Does topping only spread them? Thinking spraying them next week when cattle are finished in that field

Anto_Meath · 05-07-2021 01:01PM

I don't know, I know spraying them is the only way to get rid of them but the fields are full of lovely clover flowers at the minute so don't want to spray them.. I think if you top before the flower seeds on the thistle then it doesn't spread them. I hear if you top around now and again in September it is meant to check them but I don't know. I might do that field again in September and then I will know for next year hopefully.

Dozer1 · 05-07-2021 01:32PM

lawn here is after been taken over with Clover last few weeks it is literally like a white bee palace the noise from so many of them them buzzing around is mad, will leave it a few weeks before I'll cut it as be a shame to loose them for the sake of a "pretty" lawn

I’m the same. I leave the blades at the highest and it saves most of the flowers. The Aldi wild flower seeds I planted last year are still popping up. Great to see.
