medium well please redzer!
She's well plump

Thats what happens when you have a black whitehead cow and a calf that wont come out of the creep feeder, id get feck all for her at the mart and theres something awful tender looking about her, the whole lot of her shakes when she walks.

Cow has fine wide hips on her for a BB. Did you breed her yourself?

Lovely clover in it Bob

Do you not find that mowing it eliminates the clover??

balls of wool caused the problems, That land got a full reseed about 2 years ago. IMV there is less of a weed burden if DD. would prefer more grass than clover. Will apply powder and will try and put on some molasses

Was just in town there and I saw a field that was cut - its a bad wet day here, pity they didn't get it cut and in the last few days, which were fine and dry

This is my latest addition. Sim cow with a CF71 heifer calf. His calving Diff % is over 20% and I can see why. The calf is fairly big. I had to use the Jack.

The second pic is her getting aquainted with the Bolide parthenaise calf I put up a pic of a few weeks ago.

You're a brave man, 7-8% calving difficulty would be my limit!

Its a pity the Simmental cow hadnt a drop of milk for him

This is a maine anjou heifer that calved last night. Picture taken today. I bought this heifer and a comrade as weanlings 2 years ago. She had a bull calf by my own SIX limousin bull that I sold in the pedigree sale last year. She calved herself. I was warned that maine anjou's will have no milk so I am happy to see that she made a nice bag. I think she will need it because he is a big calf especially for a first calving heifer. He seems very tall though but he is long so he should make a good bullock.

Picture 1 and 2 are showing the heifer and her calf. Picture 3 is of her udder. She has been getting straw for the last 6 weeks with some other cows that are drying off and a couple of more springers so she is fairly shock at the moment. I was going to let her out tomorrow morning into fresh grass if the weather sticks

According to the man I bought her from she is out of a black LM. The other Maine anjou I have is the very same but red and white.

Would you ever put a maine anjou bull on these? Often wondered bout them never seen them

Because they carry the double muscle gene i plan to keep crossing them with maternal limousin bulls

Quality stock and the calves don't look too big either so probably would be grand for heifers.

Thanks lads what you think of the sliding pipes need to be able to stop them before they go al the way but would like something that hasn t any corners or sharp ends .

I was just going to ask you what you were going to use!!

I'd drill holes and use R clips. If you had the collars tight to post on one side, then one R clip on the inside would hold each section in place

Muckit · 28-10-2012 09:26PM

Jerdee can you remove those sections completely?

johnpawl · 29-10-2012 11:09PM

Would this lad be fit for the boat? We've never had any calf near export quality before, just wondering about this lad.
