Just do it, what diameter pipe are you thinking of using? I've similiar land toying with 4 inch corripipes reckon I could flush them out if they got blocked not sure the yellow pipe would survive in softish ground with a heap of stones dumped on them. On the plus side the clay land has dried out much better than I expected. Like you I reckon I could moleplough if we got a prolonged dry spell/summer.

This is only a short channel drain linking a new trench to the main trench. It will potentially carry a lot of water so I may even go with a 6" pipe.

Have you any drainage in the clay land that has dried out?

Ya breeding better females anyway,maybe not as muscular as vantastic, but very growthy,long and seem to have great pelvis structure.

Cerberus pictured.

Charolais would be my preferred breed but its hard to beat quality in any breed.

Hes a class looking animal alright,wouldn't think he would be too easy calved with a front shoulder like that,it seems wider than his hips,super shape for a charolais,domino son X CF52 plenty of muscle.

52 was like that. Easy calved. The front shoulder shape didn't develop until the calf was a couple of months old.

Maybe,but this guy looks more like a blue than a char,great calf regardless.

I must try LGL on a few sucklers.

Goin well alrite we bred 2 vantastics. veteran heifer calf out of one of them sold for €4300 at october premier. Had our 1st cerberus last week nice long calf born easy a bit young yet to judge him for sure but happy with what i see. Pity about price have 1 more straw in the tank but like munster magic going to leave it there for a flush.

She was a very nice heifer and if we weren't waiting for lot 52 we probably would have gone on her

Sultan should be no prob for that cow kovu,her char calf should be worth a nice few pound next October
