Lovely calves there Reilig. I know there's a few weeks between them, but God that first CH is head and shoulders above that blue, just goes to show!

Will you be off to market with him soon? You'I be looking for over the €1000 for him I'd say

I think that i will sell any weanlings over 300kg off grass in November. For the likes of the good calf above, he should leave a bit of profit. I don't know if he will make €1000. However, in comparison with an autumn born calf - anyone can get an autumn born calf to €1000, and wouldn't you need it to pay for him. But if a calf like this that was never housed, fed on grass up to now, and has a mother that was only maintenance fed rather than fed to feed a calf while inside, can make €1000, then isn't he or his type less work, and more profitable?

You could have kept him another few weeks if going that well. So he went from 585 to 785 in 80 days, you should be advising teagasc :P

What he kill out at?

he went in july with the good price,
price has dropped 50 cent since,
sorry I didn't send all the cattle big and small with that batch

its a nugent automatic gate, you would want a good crush for animals that big because theyd break iron so they would, some of them are very flighty and nervous in the crush

I have a line of sight from the house to the shed.

Would I need some kind of antenna or receiver outside the shed and on the house?

There was a thread on this a year ago, nov/dec time if I remember rightly. All the details if my system are on it. I've a line if sight so use nanostations to bounce the signal back to the house. There's a bit in it but well worth the effort.

I often wondered where I could get a tranquiliser gun for cract runaways, because sometimes nothing will stop them, once they get into a habit of jumping things it becomes a nightmare

why if you had a gun at a particular time would you kill an animal ?

yes you would be raging when things go wrong but the cheaper option is to tranquilise them , get the loader sling them up and into the trailer and off to the factory with them

have sold a few animals over the years not long after buying because they are a liability and just too dangerous and uncontrollable , it takes the enjoyment out of being a stockman

bogman_bass · 01-10-2013 10:09PM

also if you tranquilized one I'm pretty sure you couldnt kill for a few days

Your closest deer farm probably has one. We had a neighbours animal trespass back in the day, stone mad. After a couple of attemts including one where he arrived with every spare young lad in the parish we got the deer farmer, job done.

Tis funny how the genetics work alrigh Van .

I had a cream coloured pbnr CH (cf52) cow and put her to white BB bull Tin Tin DE MY about 4 years ago .
Was looking forward to my big white BBxCH calf .

She had a tiny black calf with a dash of white on his head .
Dissapointed was an understatement

Dozer1 · 02-10-2013 01:45PM
