I dont know id say he could go the same colour as yours alright . All the other limos out of those type cows we have would be black but this lad definitely seems a lighter colour. Time will tell more i suppose

He's getting lighter in colour all the time.He's 7 wks old now and really starting to thrive. Changing colour again now getting black circles around his eyes and nose.I think it mighn't be a bad cross, she got the same bull again anyway.

Little bit of Ham for the Christmas dinner
Three little weaners we picked up for the freezer..

you could leave it there to sink and in 20 years all us boardies can meet up and dig it up for CHARITY:D:D

Haha, I was telling the ould fella about that charity dig on our way home.

Ah no, hopefully the two of them will be out on Friday. The owner of the first tractor burst a back tire though, I told him I had a stake tied to it and he throttled the fcuk out of it, bang, pshhht....

Did ya try tying those planks to the rims across behind the back wheels. Put into low gear, diff lock on, and reverse. Should be able to get back 3 r 4 feet. Repeat until you are out.

Yeah, if you look you'll see the ropes through the rims, we hit trouble though. Dad couldn't get the diff lock to engage and the high wheel would spin and the bogged wheel wouldn't budge. She may have come out had the owner not gunned the throttle and burst the tire, as he could get the diff working, but we'll not know now.
