First blonde heifer ever here. Breeding replacement already marked

Just lucky to catch the cow though, she decided to calve into a drain, If I'd been there 1/2 hour later the calf would have been out and drowned in it. :pac:

Hope the blonde calf has a bit of milk on the maternal figures, what is she by?

Kilmoney Bruce. Dam is a PR LM by Navarin and out of a Ulysse dam.

Whast does the tattoo say? Though it was Kovu Murr there for a while.

Hahah not that dedicated to the username! It says 'Aut Vincere Aut Mori' which is Latin. Translates as 'Either Conquer or Die.

Thanks, cow has to go this year though, her back foot has been acting up the last couple years and looking at it this morning the growth through the hoof has been ridged the last while, plus the clout (cloot?) has started to be worn away from the skin at the back. Difficult to explain in words actually!

And just the one left! She'll calve in the next day or two, another PB LM in calf to VMP.

Oh stick a pic up of vmp if all goes well ...
Bought a few straws @ eur5 last year and havent seen any progeny of him yet

Have one off him in the field, wee blue heifer that was calved the stormy night this week. Can get a pic of her if you like! Lovely colouring, again she's off a PB LM.

Dont go outta your way , whenever you can
Would you not put a LM straw into any of these cows ???
Are the registered???

All are RG, just not the market we're into at the moment. Most of them we crossed with LM for a year or two and kept the heifers. Originally started with one cow She produced two heifers in a row off Navarin, these then produced twins and a heifer and then the heifer had a heifer and the cow had another one and so on....now we have half a herd of them.

Doesnt sound like a bad herd to me so .
I find the blonde and limousin cow cross great with a BB bull .
Iv a pb Castleview Casino calf out of a rocky first calver that il keep .
Hope iv as much luck as you did .
Have the rocky heifer 4 month back in calf to DBZ manitou ..... trial an error maybe

Is C Casino ERE? We've a smasher of a bull out of him this year, was looking for a replacement but a live calf is just as good! A lot of our cows are by Navarin or PAM. We went through a phase of using him and he seemed to produce a lot of heifers!

No castleview is CWI . Standing in Dovea....
Lovely head on him and heifer is the same .
Afaik he not great on the oul docility though , which is as important as the milk and fertility in replacements .

ERE is elite erasmus . Big boy that lad .

Are your limos quiet ???

Duh Kovu....shouldn't have been so lazy and walked to the book :P

All are quiet enough, Acer, the cow in the photo was halter trained and was even ai'd in the field with it on her. Her two daughters are the same, lugs of cattle that have to be pushed out of the way, it was one of those that I had calving this week by torch to VMP. Two others are V quiet but wouldn't be trusted after calving and the other few are quiet to touch but not halter trained. So yes, all very quiet, even more docile than the crossbreeds we have. A lot to be said for having a quiet mother to a calf though, once hey watch you pet the mother they can see you as a trustworthy being.

AI in the field ..... now your just boastin ....
