She let me to sit on her from the first time. She even has walked with me on her back. I'm happy about her.

This shed is old. We keep there sheep, goats and weanling calves. Anyway, it going to be left as a small livestock shed only, in the future.

Welcome indeed.

When I was young we had the odd very quiet one like that. As a word of caution I'd urge you to be careful of these "pet" cattle. They can turn out to be a handful.

I hope she won't. All other heifers of similar age are almost as gentle as this heifer. But from all very calm heifers we've left for breeding none of them was handful.

Thank you. I knew that I can expect that.

Had a good night last night and the right result for a change. Two calved and no help was needed. They popped them out on there own. The restricted feeding is a massive help this year.
First at around 3 a CH bull (cf60)

and then at 7 an AA heifer (GJB)

Genghis Cant · 15-03-2014 11:38PM

^^^^^ Great looking set-up Towzer. Straight out now or hold indoors?

Thanks gengis. It's a good shed alright but there's still things I'd change if I was doing it again. Hindsight is mighty.

Indoors in another shed for a week with the rest of the spring calvers and then depending on weather I'll graze some of the meadows with them.

It would be nice to have them all out by April 1st and that'd be early round here.

Used KCE the blonde for first time this year and 2 heifers

tanko · 16-03-2014 07:44PM

What's the breeding of the mother?

So can you tell us a bit about your region? And the types of farming carried out? All beef, or a mix of beef and Dairy?
kind regards,
N.

Do you think the calf is a potential replacement?

She a right good calf but I'm determined to have a year off from keeping replacements .. Kept heifers every year since 08 and would for one year just have one group of cows

Yeah, you can't keep them all. In the marts at the moment good quality heifers around 350kgs are making a €900 and top quality a grand or more. There'll be no problem selling her later in the year.

Smashing calve and exactly the colour they like. Did she calf on her own?

Yea no bother to her she calve a bus. She came down for a feed of nuts at 7 and made her way up the hill and checked her at 10 and she was licking him.

That's a lovely looking cow ronan and the calf is a smasher. Post a pic again in the autumn. She will make some job of him.

Keep up the good work!

Back in the day when drawing out beet with two wheel drive tractors I used to do that to get more traction. Worked well.

exercise is the antidote · 17-03-2014 10:03PM

Does anyone have a idea what these heifers would make in the mart? D.o.b March/April 2012, Out wintered.
I'm not very good with weights sorry.

If your mother saw that dirt under your finger nails you'd be in big trouble...

We use to find them regularly enough back when we were milking cows. They could be a good lump bigger than that too.
Your woman must have thick skin if you are touching her up with those hands ;-)
