    Ok, I'll do one now. No, we fixed it, just one bit of land that remains a bit boggy.

    Right lads, I used this link as it's a large image so open it in a new tab/window and use zoom. Read from left to right i.e. go clockwise. Forgot to number them.

    If you get stuck, just ask! And ignore my bookmarks! :pac:

    Thinking of entering Dragon's Den with my latest invention. Capable of dropping 80 tyres over silage pit. Serious labour saving.

    And here are my three shorthorns. All by LYJ out of limousin 2yo heifers born in January. Being housed to mid-May meant they didn't get much milk or grass early in life :rolleyes:

    Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking that!!

    3 heifers by APZ. Wasn't too impressed with these early on but they're all starting to shape up nicely now. The last one in particular was the size of a rabbit when it was born but is starting to turn inside out. The 3 of them are also out of average cows so my impression of APZ is improving.

    it looked like the calf had a belly full off gass,a neighbour of mine lost two cows last yr to it,nothing wrong with the cow when he checked them in the evening ,went out in the morning to check they where dead with massive blowed up bellies on them.

    Jeez yeah tis quick the way you can lose a cow.
    Left the cows into lush grass after strip grazing and had one go down with a build up of gas.
    Caught her on time, vet injected (cant remember the damn name) fine after a few hours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,422 ✭✭✭just do it


    The cows are hungry this evening so I dont think they will do a whole lot of running and just get straight down to business.....hopefully!!
    I missed this post previously. Good idea to have them hungry when moving alright. One of the best tips I got when starting out from a local.

    what age did these springers calve down and how do you think they done since calving? :)

    Most of them calved at 23-25 months and there was a few that were 3 year olds that I bought as very handy weanlings. They are the finest now, bulling away at the moment and making a nice job of the calves. They are handy enough size wise but but not enough to justify leaving them another year i think, The calves out of the 2 year olds are every bit as good as the ones out of the 3 year olds.

    Just to add on another bit, the pic will give you an idea of the size of them. That heifer calved around the middle of April as did the one on the left of the pic with her head chopped off.
