    Cheers have to get two, tried to be smart and tag a 5 month bull calf when I got him cornered, he pulled away and ripped fcuking tag out of his ear, think it was the ordinary tag, no the bvd one, anyway moral of story, do the job right first time, :D

    Cold, still snow over there. Jumping into the icy lake after the sauna was great fun though:D
    You'd be sickened driving through the countryside though, silage bales everywhere:eek: In one field they were 4 stacks high and must have been close to 400 bales there.

    Breeding stock are a bit on the skinny side, they must be keeping the fodder back from them too;)

    Sluggish.
    about the same as last week I thought. very few buyers but there was so few lots that it helped demand a bit especially when there was something worth buying but auctioneer had to work to get bids.

    quality was very poor in general.

    a lot of lots down at the 180-250KG mark and a good few 400+ and not that much in between

    It can be hard sometimes to read cattle signals but it was obvious she was going to charge them! I thought it was funny when your man took cover behind the quad. He is lucky he didn't come out of there with some broken bones and end up in the hospital telling the doctor she attacked them out of the blue!

    i have a few simx cross cows and they are as placid, one had twins the other day and i was lying under her trying to latch a calf onto each teet, i think some females are just plain crazy regardless of the breed

    Saves a lot of worry too. All well and good having great but wild stock until you or someone else get's a lash off them.
