A bullock of mine had his penis stood on last week by another bullock in the pen, I took him out and gave penstrip. I noticed a bit of blood tonight but nothing serious although there is a swollen ball appearing on the tip of his penis and it doesn't seem to be bothering him at all, however I would be open to suggestions on what to do

Was at a farm walk yesterday for the burren life in carron. The fellow whos farm we were at is only in the scheme with 3 years but the amount of work he had done was unbeliveable and the standard was second to none. He had restored a lot of internal drystone walls, cut a lot of scrub and managed to lay blocks around a few poor springs of water and he had a couple of drinking points around his winterage because of this. On a poor enough winterage he was keeping 15 cows from the middle of October to the middle of March with no feeding whatsoever. I should have taken a few pics but there was a lot of people around and I dindt want to be seen
, would have done anyone good to see it. 0 -

They wouldnt be fat coming out of it but they would be fit and healthy, he had all his cows in calf to a charolais and was calving them all outside on the winterage with little difficulty. We normally feed our own cows nuts for a month or 6 weeks depending on condition before they calve but he was getting away without doing it. The winterages wouldnt be grazed all summer so theres usually a good bit of grass when they go into them. Heres a pic of one of our own cows from last spring, only calved a few hours and after 4 months on the winterage, it would give you an idea of how they hold outside.
