Don't they usually lock a thread around the 10000 mark and re-open a part 2 type thread?

My oldest is making his communion in May and wants to buy a breeding heifer. What do ye recommend, he is keen on Hereford as his grandad had them. What would ye beef guys recommend and where should I go?

Juniorhurler

It all depends on how he plans on selling the offspring. Will you finish them or sell weanlings or stores?

If going for weanlings a blonde or parthanaise and cross to a blue I think. If finishing I would go for an angus. Easy calved and will finish well off grass.

Hereford seem to be on the up at the moment. If going down that line buy a polled animal. thats where the breed is heading and there is no point in getting left behind

Does the land lice breeders have a good young members section? Try find out which one of the breed societies have a good young members, bit of craic, social life etc.

Twin heifers just arrived:eek:

Nightmare at first as my father was away at a meeting and i could find 3 feet after going up to my armpit. Luckily enough I knew 2 were hind feet so I deduced that it was either twins or a calf coming arseways.

Seeing as we had twins just last week......I called the vet:pac:

Anyone else having twins off this bull; Crossmolina Euro?

what sort of bell ends are taking land in KK. I see in the Indo land make I think €330 to go into maize. I cant make growing maize stack up this year @ €150 an acre so how are these people making it work.

This is the sunny south east you know:P:P

It is impossible to get land down here every time a parcel goes up for sale the locals go crazy then when they have sold everything to get it they stick trees on it

A 16ac parcel up the road from me is up for rent this year. It is in grass and has a bid of €5,100 on it at the moment and is not set at that yet. A dairy farmer is taking it to run replacements.

No,,,depending on ram effect, scanner says they're all coming together even though they were divided in two halves with seventeen days between letting out the rams to the second bunch

Have to DNA test the bugger now!

Did you have to post off hair clippings? Good practice for this year's PB calves. The Limousin, Charolais and IHFA are 3 cattle societies that are genomic testing all calves born from here on in. Only right in a way I suppose.
