ah she put the bed out after calving and got vet to put it in but again at six weeks post calving she started to show it and put it out again, put it in and she forced it all out against stitches and refused to hold it in, she melted away..and calf wasn't thriving so took calf off of her (put him on a freisan x) and dried her off and fattened her up.. she still puts it out every 3 weeks regular when in oestrus eventhough she has nothing in field to jump on.. I just wash it and put it back in and thank god it hasn't got infected

below is her calf at six weeks.. great calf now

she is 75% Charolais at least, I bought her mother from up the side of a mountain!(big brown CH X heifer) and she was bulled to a ch stock bull so jury is out as to what she will be like for milk but her mother is good rearer

Attached is pic of her mother as a heifer (she massive now, nearly too big for my liking, calving in jan to Kilmoney Bruce the blonde

she is a twin so her full sister and mother still about, the cow rejected the brown heifer calf and kept the white one the same colour as herself, she herself bred 3 out of 3 bulls, FL22, CVV and last calf in pic was LGL, great bull IMO

Petty about the mother but at least you'll get money for her rather than paying money to remove her.

Lads, what do you think of ADX? Breeding serious cattle, I find anyway.

That's a nice beast. What % of your weanlings would be to that standard?

Yep , ADX (Ardlea Dan- limousin- Munster/ progressive genetics ) is throwing great calves round here too ... Neighbour sold red ADX bull calf there sat 390kg e1075

Unfortunately not enough !
This year though I'm happy with them all, that guy is probably the best. He would be some animal if he was on creep all summer, as it was he was on rented ground with poor grazing. Weaned 2 weeks ago and put on good aftergrass and ration.

Overall happy with ADX but a lot depends on the cow too !!!

I thought this was interesting but I’m a bit sad sometimes...anyway I got a dashcam for the car a while back and last week just for the crack I attached it to the back window of the tractor when baling up a bit of second cut. I changed to the bale lifter afterwards to run in the bales and forgot about the dashcam. Turns out that I didn’t put the clip in correctly in the top link pin and lost it after the 3rd bale. I remembered the dashcam later that night and checked the footage, sure enough it recorded the clip falling out and based on previous footage I was able to guess where in the field. Wandered out the next morning and found it – RESULT !:D

Heres the footage of the clip falling out - the quality should be much better, seems to be loosing a lot through youtube.

100%

Sharpshooter82 · 08-09-2013 07:31PM

Every tractor that has a young lad driving it should have one mounted front and back , they could deny nothing then when they burst things

I confess, perpendicular was my description. He's on the second pass now and it's only at a slight angle. I've only seen the first pass and I'm impressed with it. I'd imagine its hard to know are the ridges gone until it all settles down with time.

Pic - disc on left, power harrowed on right

Any finnished pictures just do it? How many runs did the contractor to with the power harrow and did it break up the sods well?
