First pedigree calf of the year this morning. A bit of a pull, but happy enough with him. First calf off Queenshead Altea. Hopefully he will be lucky - I have another Pedigree cow in calf to him for 6 weeks time.

He was some bull for 52,000gns

This straw feeding of incalf cows is working out well. No problems calving and calves appear to be pretty hardy. I have only one complaint - the cows on the straw aren't making a big bag of milk before they calve and its very hard to judge them - especially the pedigrees who don't normally make a big bag of milk anyway.

If you're sure of your dates you could put a group of springers a week to 10 days from calving together and give them a shake of meal. It'll help keep their energy/blood sugars up for calving and might bring in the milk a bit better. They'd only want to be in the last 10 days before claving or you'll start undoing your good work with the straw diet.

The quality of Charolais bulls must be slipping or else he's been starved for the last month.

I saw a few heifers from him at the Roscrea premier sale recently. All were very nice feminine types.

16inchs, lucky you :P! I'm up to the slats now, I'm fairly sure I'll have no choice but to spread afew loads tomorrow or Tue.

Same here.
Will be the weekend and a few loads will need to go somewhere. I've the option to blow it into the open pit, I really don't have a field fit to travel. They're all under 3 inches of frozen snow at the moment so when that melts the ground won't be much firmer than the slurry in the tank

A neighbour of mine regularly buys weanlings from Connemara, he finds they really fill out after a year on good silage and grass. Good luck with them

Maamcross is packed every monday evening , not much goes unsold back there . The lighter cattle turn around when they hit good grass .
