Send him on his way asap I'd say. Too much of a risk, and you'll have him in with the milkers etc I assume, so surely you'll be in the holding yard etc same time as him often etc?

Ah he's soft enough little lad. Just a bit noisey.
Just don't like him fighting with cows.
He gets a Clip of a stick if I cananage it when I see him doing it

Never handled one but all the dairy bulls seem to have a bad rep regards temperament, espically jerseys.

Ye jerseys are cross little lads.
But never had any trouble with thus lad. He's 2 yrs old now so might be getting too big for his boots

There must be such a thing as 'small bull syndrome.'

I was like a **** this morning, went out at 7 o clock to put a bale into the shed. The bales are stored right beside the shed so we get away with using a 35 most of the year for feeding. There is one line of bales left beside a drain so I decided to chance spiking the bale thinking I would not be stupid enough to let it fall into the drain. (Usually I'd pull them over first with a rope to ensure they wouldnt go into drain) Anyway even worse happened as you can see in the photo, front of tractor went in and back was only a whisker away from going too. Of course the father is away for the weekend so I had to go get the 4wd myself to pull it out. If the father did this I'd be telling him to cop himself on a bit

What's that regulation about storing silage bales and watercourses? -:)

Dad has a monster of a Cheviot ram, we have him penned in a room in an old house on part of the farm. I put a 6 foot gate in the door, inside that there's a fishbox with his water and feed buckets. Also have a bag of hay tied to the gate, so if Dad has to feed him alone, he doesn't have to go into the pen (room).

This buck will belt anything passed in over that gate, feed, hay, water, anything at all, and he's got plenty of weight behind him, mighty lump of a sheep though.

Would he attack ye in the field?
He sounds like a right little lad

No, I don't believe so. I caught him outdoors with a bag of feed. Mind you, any ram that flattens his head and starts backing tends to get the toe poke of justice from me. Dad is another story, he'll be 80 this year, I don't take chances in that regard.

CWI bull calf - Sod's law always a bull when ya want a heifer but I don't mind he's a live calf, she calved unassisted and he was up sucking in no time.

You'd have a job convincing someone that calf is a limousin!

Have you any other CWI calves? I have 2 this year (bull and heifer) and both are very poor. Really tall and narrow. I had a bull calf last year out of a blue cow and he was a very good calf.

RobinBanks · 26-03-2014 12:15PM

A few heifers I let out early March. I bulled the 2 outside heifers just before they went out. The blue will be 2 in June and the red was 1 in Nov. The other 2 are March calves from last year. They are on my driest ground but have still done a bit of damage. Probably should have left them in the shed.

tanko · 26-03-2014 12:34PM

Fair play to ya Robin, lovely stock. Can you say what bulls they're off?
