    Too big for my liking (@calving difficulty 9%) she was making no headway at all for nearly 2 hours so i took him with the jack, fine until i got to the hips but not bad either she was roomy enough.

    happy out to see them bouncing around in the sunshine, best time of year:):)

    A couple of the limx calves are similar, I'm not sure which one it is, but I think he is by ABI out of a BAX cow, prob born in Nov.
    The cows look a bit raggy at the moment, a month at grass should have them looking good!

    Try a straw of the Charolais bull Fury Action for the crack. He's fooking well named! Here's a pic of a son of his, he's a ped CH and he aint that old in that pic either. He was a bear when he came out, and a struggle it was to get him out too even though the cow is powerful cow to calve!

    No thanks Bizzum,

    Powerful looking calf alright ,

    I would be steering clear of him if that's the case if one of your best calvers struggled with him... I've Too much love for my cows to knowingly invite trouble on them!!

    350, a lovely bike to drive, way more comfortable than a honda with the independent rear suspension and the stepless gears are nice too. My thumb was ok but driving on rough ground all day I was shook to bits. A really comfortable bike overall and there isint a straight diff in the back either so no tyre scuffing if you like driving a quad sensibly!! Came in at about 4600 new last year but hes vat registered. I think 350 is plenty powerful for nearly anything apart from pulling a manure spreader mabye. I was down your side early this morning, no sign of life anywhere around :rolleyes:
