    Pic 134: A 2yo PB Charolais heifer incalf to FL22, calving this back end.

    Pic 140: A Lim x BA bull calf 5mths old. (Infact he is from AI PB stock on both sides. 50% Lim, 25% BA, 25% CH.)
    I often wonder how a bull like him would breed?

    When I first came across the Inra 95 a few years ago, my exact thoughts were that I already had one!

    I think I'd make up a catchier name though:D

    Someone put up a pic of an inra 95 calf a while back, looked a smasher too out of a saler cow I think!! Would nearly chance them on a cow or two if I had a few straws in the pot even though the bull didnt look great in the catalogue.

    Walked some ground earlier that we weed licked last October.. We hadn't had a chance to mow the rushes as the back end of the year was so poor, just took the first good day and licked them... I'd say the mix was probably 1:10 roundup.

    img04041o.jpg


    Really happy with the results... this field was by far the worse overtaken with rush and it really annoyed me.. I remember cocks of good meadow hay being made there when I was a young lad...

    Now it's getting 2 bags/acre of G-lime followed by 2 bags of 18-6-12 /acre..
    Once grazed it'll be topped and any remaining rush will be licked again in the back end of the year... One wet spot to be drained whenever the digger is back but it's 70% dry and firm, the rush was just let get away :mad:

    This is exactly why I berd my Lm to a blonde this year, I think they have the best gut & kidney line of any breed I've seen. Plus non fat muscle to boot.

    Kilmoney Bruce on a decent PB Lim cow?

    I'd be thinking potential show calf.

    Good work indeed.
    I'd be interested to see the return after topping. A further licking at this stage could hit them hard!

    Well I was looking for a replacement heifer as she had 5 in a row.......bull this year. Nice shapely calf so I'll let ye know how he progresses.
    Cow is Navarin bred off a Ulyssus dam. Her full sister tht we have breeds far better though. Genetics I guess.:confused:

    Two of my bullocks looking nice and relaxed this morning.
    If they were able to watch the forecast they might not have been so happy looking.
