    A CWI lim heifer calf. Nine weeks yesterday. Off a good charolais cow.
    Was fairly wild in the field, but has calmed down a lot since housing, and a bit of handling and feeding.

    Nice calf...would CWI be ok to use on heifers?

    I put him on two heifers there a week ago. Calves I have out of him already, were small when born, and had no pulls. On the wild side however, unless you are prepared to pamper and handle them a bit, once they are indoors.

    This thread is drifting away from its intended purpose of 'Photos', with a good bit of general discussion of the subjects raised in some of the pictures.
    Here's how the thread will work from here on: photos are posted as usual; if discussion arises from one, the original photo post will be COPIED to a new thread of its own and all subsequent discussion arising from it will be MOVED to this new thread. A link to the new discussion thread will be inserted into the original post here.

    VERY off-topic stuff will be moved to the farming chit chat thread, or deleted.


    SECURITY & PRIVACY:
    An issue has been brought to our attention regarding vehicle registration numbers visible in photographs, where the criminally inclined trawl the Internet looking for vehicles similar to their own, clone the number plates, and head off merrily accruing penalty points, not paying toll fees, and leaving filling stations without paying, leaving the unfortunate owner of the genuine vehicle having to deal with the Gardaí as they investigate these matters.
    This is likely much more of an issue on the big car selling websites, but it might be good practice to either obscure the number plate or not include it in the first place if you post a picture of your vehicle here.
    Obviously, don't post such details of other peoples' vehicles.

    We've modified the forum Charter regarding this and a couple of other items to do with photographs/scans, see HERE.

    If anyone want any of their old photos deleted, give the mods a shout by PM.

    Have you them calves resricted to twice a day suckling to get cows in heat faster? If so you did how did you find the cows when commencing this. Were they very agitated. Can the cows see the calves where they are.

    You have a lovely looking Simmental in ones of your pics.

    first attempt at uploading a pic, this is our part bull which we bought for heifers.
    we no longer have this bull because he wasnt suitable for heifers but sold him on to a farm in meath that were going to use him on cows. sort of regretting it now he left some great calves.

    Hi goodman,

    Would you believe that calf is May 20th! I going to hold her but no she is not out of Alex, i bought the cow and she was already bulled to a stock bull, i held the cow over for bulling in February with the heifers and i going to either give her Kilmoney Bruce or a good charolais, my best calf was a yellow bull by alex out of Black Lim 2nd calver and i sold him to my neighbour .. will take a photo of him at grass next April,

    They are lovely stylish heifers alright. If they have milk they'll make serious cows.

    the one with the white face is out of a big limo of the same markings. i think i will bull them to an easy calving blue but im going to chance cambridge on two of the ones that came part colours and make, to see what happens. il try and take a few pictures of them as tomorrow and il post them if i get a chance. we have used blue on the limousin heifers this year and had good results, we used sultan and ilot.

    You saifd you were going to use him on heifers. Royal isnt too handy calved so keep an eye on them. In saying that I see you've used blues on heifers so you must be pretty good at getting them in to shape for calving.

    Royal does have a bit of milk with him on the plus side and as you can see from your own bull a nice bit of muscle and frame too!

    hope he's lucky for you!

    the bull is sired by royal and out of an octane sired cow.
    "You saifd you were going to use him on heifers. Royal isnt too handy calved so keep an eye on them."
    we bought him a couple of years ago bogman and had to sell him on as he was not suitable for heifers at all, but the man that bought him off us had no trouble with calving on cows, and even wrang back to see if we had another one for sale, he was that happy with him.

    how do you find the vulain bull for calving legwax ??
