    It would be good if icbf were able to pull forward the Oct proof by a week or so as might help anyone that might be short one or two animals to Buy the animal required to meet scheme targets

    Maybe that’s why it was moved

    I see the July proof is put to 4th August

    No doubt the Coronavirus will be blamed for the postponement.

    I see that the department have extended the 31th October deadline for qualifying for the BDGP to when the November run of ICBF figures come out.

    A bit puzzled by this - When I search a cow or heifer on www.icbf.com on the laptop, I can only see the animals Replacement Index. When I look on my mobile phone, I can see both the Replacement and Terminal indices. Why is this?

    I'm in the BDGP scheme, so I can search females on ICBF.

    New proofs are out, I still see Female's not showing their terminal in the desktop app but showing it on th phone app. Salers are the top 4 for replacement, Ulsan being #1 now. Don't see much change on the Terminal side, lots of familiar names in the top 5 there that were there last update.

    I have a pedigree Lim yearling bull here, who has now jumped up to 4 stars from 3. He's a fine looking bull. Would it be worth my while getting him Genomic tested?
    If the scheme is going to end, is there any point?
    If I test him now, won't it be 2 months before the results can be seen.

    I expect we will see some version of the scheme in future.. with 5 stars farting less than 1star etc

    Anybody else annoyed with the lack of a suckler cow report for over a year?

    A far more useful report than the Eurostar report

    You can generate a new suckler cow report on the icbf website whenever you want

    The phone apps are limited
    ICBF needs you to use a computer, the phone is more for taking a quick glance

    If your on the phone icbf, there is an option to pick 'desk top' version. That will show more extra bits, like bdgp. Dunno why they can't do it outright on phone without messing like that, but anyway

    Interestingly one of my 2/3 star (varies between both over last 2 years) has now jumped to a 4 star. Looking through her figures to understand why as rarely i have this big of a jump, there has being a massive jump in her milk figures, calving interval and survival. She's not genotyped yet so will be interesting to see if that changes it again under the SCEP.

    My best cow on the farm but worst under Stars with 2, has her calf again this year at 1.5kg a day, good bag of milk (negative under Stars) and calving interval at 366. Strange.

    I’m not the biggest fan of the icbf star rating but if u take an example of one cow of course there is going to be outliers. If you have a herd of 5 star cows ,they will outperform a herd of 1 or 2 star cows.

    I think breeding (matching bull traits to the cow) gives better results. I don’t see the benefit in a 5 star terminal bull over a 3 star terminal either.
