I suppose you have to take lower conception rates into account too.

Yep, but she's a good 5yr old cow, just want a couple of replacements next year and she's one of our best. Her dam was a brfr/sh/sim cross crossed with a lim to produce her, so she has milk and muscle. Just want to throw a bit more power into her calves but not lose the milk and all the ch I see have feck all milk. Lm would bring too light a calf I expect. So its Sim or go searching for a milky Ch.

We don't do our own AI though, suppose I'd better ring our man and see if he does sexed semen.

Lads whats the youngest ye would squeeze a weanling at ?
We squeze one there this evening that went ape **** in the crush and it was touch and go wether he would damage himself with all the bucking he did . He was about 9 months old . I have another lad about 5 months and I would sooner do him now before he gets too strong but the father reckons he is too young ? What are the implications of doing them too young ?

We done them here at about 6 months before.
Bit too younfmg but made little difference.
Dairy bulls though

Would the beef cattle be more mature balls wise than dairy breed I wonder ? Would they be more susceptible to infection or pneumonia when they are younger or would it be that it mightnt castrate them properly ?

Yes friesans have golf balls continentals have sliotars.....
