    It must be just me but I learn bulls by their full name and wouldnt know their codes. I find it fierce frustrating when people put the codes up here as I have to pull up the catalogues to findout what sire it is. Anybody else find this?

    i always open a new tab and look them up on icbf... only takes a couple of seconds

    Same here, and the code makes this handier to do;). Great calves by the way tisme, and all out of LMxFR cows!

    Our best breeding cow and her bull calf born the start of June this year. She is no picture to look at her but she has piles of milk and icbf tells me every calf she has had have graded U's, Now if she would kindly have a few heifers for me before I have to buy false teeth for her :)

    Ya, shes out of a sim bull and to be honest I dont know what kind of a cow. I m not a whole lot older then her myself :o You would think nothing of her to look at her but year in year out she produces calfs like that, I wish I knew what kind of breeding was in her because I would be doing my best to replicate it!!

    Sim out of a Hereford cross cow perhaps?

    The calf this year anyway is a topper

    Thanks John .
    They are out of texel cross ewes and by P.B Suffolk Ram .
    I think if they get a run on good fresh aftergrass mixed with nuts it is a recepie for scoury dirty lambs .
    Although with the grass so rarely being dry this year when they're grazing , i see a lot more dirty lambs this year than usual

    Heres last years heifer out of the same cow with the good bull calf I posted the other day. A nice long clean middled feminine type of heifer, she is very wide at her pin's. Not outstanding by any means to look at all the same but I know she will be the best breeder of the lot of them.

    Unless that's a really really beefy cow, how come you don't ring the bull Redzer?

    he is,:o i dont know if he will grow:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,552 ✭✭✭pakalasa


    You would expect RWS to be easy calving. He is by JOK and maternal sire is Tinten De My, both easy calving. Just goes to show, you never really know with breeding.
