    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 ??
    first calves will be due in feb so will let you know then.

    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.
    Just last night and tonight I've locked them in the creep area for the night. First time doing it so I'll see how it works out. Would do twice a day suckling but time doesn't allow for it. Autumn breeding starts for me on Nov 22nd.
    You have a lovely looking Simmental in ones of your pics.
    If it's the red and white out the back of the group looking up at the camera, she's by HKG. She was born on the 14th Feb 2010 and calved unassisted this Spring on 17th March, 5 days ahead of her due date (FL22 heifer calf). She's due on Feb 13th to a gene ireland CH bull DZP.

    dept trials- only filling like this when they were setting up between plots-

    when doing actual plots the yellow hopper on the back of the harvester was filled and emptied every 50 foot or so, so that there was no lose- took 6hours to cut an acre plot

    That sounds both interesting and a slight pain in the hole. Now don't get upset and through the rattle, but was there any of the old grass up with the new? Enjoy the sun.

    Stan do you stick the reels straight into the ground like a stake?

    It looks like you have bars welded to them

    Stan

    Does it not make it more awkward using the reel and lugging that big lump of Iron around?

    I get why you use a bar - to hold the weight of the reel when you have nothing to latch it on to. But could you not have the bar separate and have a loop welded onto it that you can hook the reel hook onto?

    Thanks Muckit
