    FGG for the twins, YHM for the other heifer. The blue is WTB.

    The last pic with the white heifer has a PB ERE bull on the left in the background and a RSW blue heifers arse on the right.

    Good luck with them. The ERE calf is a fine animal, what's the plan for him?

    I'll be training him this winter and he'll be tried on a cow or two next year for fertility before being sold. Him and the RSW blue share cows, they both suck both cows and the dams don't seem to give a shit, seems to be working well for them! Him, that blue and the whitehead in the background of the first photo were all born within a day of each other.

    Have you put her incalf yet?

    Ah sure we all talk to cows.....don't we....? I usually keep up a running commentary walking through them. One kept following me round the field today with her head up in the air looking to get her neck scratched.

    The bull maybe 325kg, twin hf 300kg, other hf about 260kg and the blue is about 440kg. How wrong shall I be :P:D

    I was a bit out :P

    Twin heifer was 320kg, €935.
    Twin bull was 350kg, €960
    White heifer was 290kg €835.
    Blue was 410kg, unsold at €1100. Auctioneer pissed me off with her, put her on the market before I said to and was about to slam the hammer down at a thousand before I yelled at him.

    I didn't bite Farrell either Reggie, are you proud of me? :D

    What Mart was that?
    have an E grade Jan 28th weanling bull, KJB lim out of BbxSim heifer and the weight tape tells me he is 460-495kg and I'd say close to top of that range. Trying to pick a good sale for him

    Carrigallen, I've a load of prices for the mart price thread, I'll just put them in now. The lighter the better there today. Madness.

    Easy calving shorthorn my a*se. I near bent the jack on him, I even considered tying the tractor to him. That last bits a joke before the righteous start preaching.

    Had to jack a big HCA heifer calf out of an OZS heifer this morning, not a big pull, getting the head out was the hardest part. She carried 296 days which didn't help but her being too fat was the main problem.

    She has a decent bag of milk, she is off a cow that had lots of milk tho. I'll try and get a pic.
    You're a brave man putting a Vantastic son like GWO on heifers, is the heifer ok?
