My cat is called Kovu, he's a Bengal, the Murr comes from here
http://animal.discovery.com/videos/cats-101-bengal.html - 24 sec in.
Have to say, he's a great hunter, 16 mice by the door the other day.
(and no, I did not pay 50k for him)

I think it was a mix of shrew and fieldmice. Either way, my dad loves when I bring him home.
(Are shrew endangered?) I can't exactly stop him from hunting!

Yes, but it's not too bad a price, €13 I think it was, for 3 months.

Cow took 288 which i never had for a blue before but the result was good!

Bodacious · 19-04-2012 09:56PM

this little 2nd calver (smaller twin to white heifer to right of photo) threw this calf out in minutes and she up and sucked inside the hour... great comfort in her:D

Hi limo,

Yep a big ch x fr cow.. She very roomy inside and She'd have calved him herself no hassle if he was the right way round ... He is very tall more like a foal than a calf .. But not muscley will be a great calf if he fills out aswell

Likely plenty of milk so. She'll do a super job on him, he's the making of a powerfull calf.

She is very milky alright , she lost a front tit few years back but he'll will still have bucket loads on 3!

redzerologhlen · 20-04-2012 05:30PM

The breeding heifers are putting on weight to beat the band, some change in them in the space of a fortnight. 3 here out of sim cows.

Two 2 year old heifers, one shapey thick kind of a heifer and the other one is unnaturally growthy but a bit plainish , shes going to be huge and I should have calved her as a 2 year old. Both bought as weanlings. Would be interested to know which ye would prefer for breeding.

The blonde bull thats going to do the buisness with them. Was very poorish when I got him but hes steadily improving!!

Made up a lamb feeding bucket this evening, two teats and a 65c bucket from the local bakery. Add a hole drill and a bit of bath testing and I think we're good to go.

dragons den ???? lol!!!
neat job

johngalway · 20-04-2012 05:54PM

Haha, I think I'd be laughed out of it.

"You want us to invest in buckets with holes in them, Mr Galway?" :eek: "I'm out!"

If a person could make a neat little stand there's room for 6 teats on one of those buckets.

LOL!!!!!!

if any of them ever had to get pet lambs or slow calves to drink, I think they might say different????????

if Sean Gallagher was still on it, he might invest " do you want to take a minute there mr. Galway, to think about my offer" LOL!!!!!!

although I'm fairy sure they didn't make their fortunes from feeding young lambs/calves!!!!!!!!!!
