To much for commercial stock ha. Going to get into a few pb every year to so I'm justifying it in my own mind :-)

Do the Simm Soc require DNA testing for pb breeding?

Powerful looking bull, I hope he's lucky with you.

he was a nice calf, good shape and long legs, she was a 30 month old simx heifer but he was too big for her,

1 smashing heifer calf alright. Had to do a section on a springer though for a large heifer calf so no longer sure he's suitable for maidens. 2 more heifers overdue....

+1 on that, he is not suitable for maidens and would not use on them again

The lad in front with a morning glory on him

Lad? she's about to go into the parlour. Her monster calf of six weeks is the one standing behind her.

And I better do something about that headgear. It is "incompatible" with my new mangers.

Sorry bad joke! Twas the horn l was referring to!

l see a neighbour with a load of replacements with lumps of horns too. I was surprised at him until I copped they were bought in.

In this case I have to take the blame completely. In my defence I might say she is a very errant heifer and she managed to escape de-horning by nefarious means.

It was probably the same nefarious behaviour which led her to escape and get herself knocked up by the local stud while barely a teenager - she won't be two years old until the end of February and she had that lump of a calf behind her six weeks ago.

If a heifer could have trouble written on her head it is her.

Still, we have a soft spot for her, and in a certain light she has quite an attractive look.

An apz heifer of a hill rest king cow, delighted she hadn't got nuts.

They all come that brown and Curley . Ya can spot them a mile away in the mart.
Have one this year and she a bit crazy. Another one due in February hope fully a better quality.

What bull is the calf off. Is it's mother ok?
