    Few middling ones in it all the time but they are getting better every year. Have a right good bunch of heifers gone to the bull this year so will give me a chance to thin out a few of the worst cows.

    No bother, fine calf. How do you find FTY calves for docility?

    I can walk up and scratch that calf in the field but he was 5 months old before he'd even let me touch him. I can scratch him on the tail but he won't let me near his head.

    We have another FTY 15 months old and he was and is a different calf he comes looking for a scratch when we go into the field and did as a little calf to.

    In general there not as quite as others but they come round. I wouldn't use him on dodgy cow.

    she looks a good square animal hopefully she will be ok.
    We have a cow here that looks like she's carrying an elefant but every year she calves a nice but handy calf. Her size is all water.

    She had a big enough calf last year to RHF but she had been in the shed and stuffing herself with silage, will take her in tomorrow to ground round the shed.
