He was very weak when he was born so I'm just glad he's still alive. I'm thinking about selling him soon, the cow hasn't really enough milk for two. According to ICBF shes a two star cow.

Week old QCD bull off NSQ cow. She carried 300 days, fair pull with the Jack to get him out.

Your trusty trailer survived the winter looking well. Can't beat those native trailers for hardiness

That's not the trailer you're thinking of. That aul yoke hasn't seen any action for a long long time, wouldn't think the floor would take much weight now:D

Following on from the FCC post; I'm not going to wonder how she got him out the normal way, the main point is, she did

FGG ch.

That's some calf, fair play to that cow. According to icbf FGG is only a two star bull across breeds on the terminal index. You wouldn't be able to use him on more than 20% of your cows next year. Navarin doesn't qualify either.

Good cow, she'll be getting a lock of nuts later for her efforts!
I know, I'll be signing up to herdplus next week to have a gander at the stars and see which cows are highest to take replacements off, bloody thing, ther'll be a shortage of ai 5* straws I bet, I may order some of the nicer ones now to have on hold for summer.
