    We have some decent stock alright. It's a never-ending job trying to breed em up!

    What heifer did I post about before?
    There's 2 PB Charolais heifers and a super black lim off ABI all calving in the spring to the Lim THZ. Would it be one of these?
    From memory I think it might have been the black lady.

    He seems to be doing the business I think. I've around 12 calves off him and all have done well, and my cows would be very plain Aaxbrfr etc. All calves have been bulls! They come into very goodweights weights when fed - at 11 months last year I sold 3 at 540, 535 and 495 kgs.
    For next round I've gone to cbq and KCE and HCA

    That's gas. I've had all heifers from BZB so far which I'm happy with cause the aim is to keep for replacements.

    If you get heifers from those three bulls they should be ideal breeders from the aa x brfr.

    It's heifers I was going for too for replacements!! If I had gotten heifers I'd planned to cross stq onto them at some stage. I have some ch heifers off the aaxbrfr and they're bringing the milk from the mothers. I aim to always have some of these cows to breed replacements from

    Everyone has calves like that. Is milk an issue with the cow? I'd be facing her for the big field in the sky :D

    If we're going to make it a competition as to who has the worst stock I'm gonna win hands down. Muckit's lad would be the Brad Pitt of our place.

    Sometimes the pics of quality stock that are put up here would pure depress a lad.

    Mixture of 1.5 kg rolled barley and .5kg of a 16% beef nut. Found that they weren't fussed about barley on its own

    I'l tell ya another good one.... went to a weanling mart only two weeks ago.... when came home and checked the cards one was April born. ........ 2012. ' Buyer beware' was the mart manager s answer to me when l quizzed how it could be allowed happen. Any age cattle can be entered in either mart day. You live and learn . I'l b watching board like a hawk from now on
    Trick me once -shame on you. Trick me twice - shame on me

    Had planned on using bzb on few this year but my AI man was totally against him. He maintained that the calves out of him are very hit and miss as to there quality and that alot of people wer finding him a hard pull at calving.

    Yes it was my mistake for not looking at board better. I wouldn't call a year and a weanling though.

    Why have two separate marts if age isnt an issue?

    To be fair I find him consistently breeding good calves. All the cows calved unassisted and calves very hardy. Had to use the jack on the two first Calvers however and they were on hay for 8 weeks prior.
