    I have a friend over the road and he is one of the top Part breeders in the country, he exports all over the world. Anyhow we were talking the other day about killing a heifer for the freezer and I was enquiring about à Part. Forget it he says, he always kills an Angus.

    What's the reasoning, lack of marbling?? Is he also breeding Angus or wha?

    Parthenay is the centre of Part production. I wouldnt think that all herds are pedigree, but they would be purebred.
    Parthenay is not far from me.

    Class outfit there Tyson. We landed our 1st purebred part calves over the christmas. They were born from purchased embryos. We got a serious looking Sirex bull and a lovely bull and heifer out of coquin. I think part has alot to offer really looking forward to using more on the commercial herd. Welcome to boards btw

    Sprayed of 4ac today that the redstart was in. Will sow end of march I hope. Very dry surprisingly. Bottom of field used to be a bog till I spent a day last spring rodding the clay pipe in it last year

    Ah not too bad, two problems with that bar, it's not heavy enough to drive them and it vibrates which is hard on the hands.

    Needs improving, there's a difference in opinion between myself and the ould fella on how to run his farm but, see the word in italics :D

    The right animal, for the right ground, run the right way will make a few bob - with reams of small print to follow that statement.
