Had a heifer by herself in the field. Nice sized calf but nothing extraordinary. Was up and sucking within half an hour, great when that happens!:)

Good news then yea it's great when they're up quick it shows that they are hardy.

I'm nearly sure catch and hold snares are band here to.
Could be wrong but I don't think so.

Cracking tight heifer with length. I am not a LM fan but she catches my eye.
The type I would go for.

i have enough trouble calving the square cows so i doubt it.Would you keep the like of her and what bulls would you give her

If there was milk yes, Eurogene here, so have used ODZ, or UBY, watch diet from 6 weeks before due. Second time to FZM or blue.
Put FZM on 2 BBX & 1 LM before CD% increased, 1 BBX had a section, other 2 on their own, which has put me off him for heifers & issue could have been the heifer

Thanks, it's just a pity his figures are so bad cause he throws cracking calves with lovely neat heads. It's a bad photo of the young one but she's rather bonkers as I've only handled her once to tag her!

I'd be head of the queue! I still think it's only because he was advertised as normal calving- most of his male ancestry are easy to normal calving between 3.9% and 8.9% So he was horsed onto animals in his first year and it all went pear shaped nine months later.

Big butt didn't do J.Lo any harm and it won't do that heifer any harm either:) Lovely animals by the way

Nothing better that I'm putting up here just yet

That is a lovely heifer you have, stock bull? This the old bull you got rid of this year?
I have to say I'm seriously admiring that cow in the background more. Age? She looks fantastic and a good breeder. Her hip bones and tail placement are on point for my eye.

That's her mother lim x sim and a 4 year old calved as a 2yo springer. Bit poorer than normal because she had twins this year. I bought a foster cow off a neighbour for the other one but she hasn't much milk and the other calf is hungry. Still have the bull, best one we ever had here and I'll hold onto him as long as possible. Calves coming really square and muscly out of him along with being quiet. Wasn't a bad buy at 2.5k in hindsight.

And bad farmers

few acres we have rented that I was feeding weanlings on last winter. Was like a garden last March hence all the thistles.

Miname · 02-08-2015 10:49am

A couple of my replacements.

Miname · 02-08-2015 11:02am

A couple of my replacements. All calving in January. There's a few reds that's hard to tell between that I've kept because their mothers have all bred well for years. There's a limo out of a sim that looks narrower than I'd like but she's out of a sim cow that left eight calves in five years and always reared them without hassle. There's a limo out of a blue that unusually never had any issue calving even with monsters of bulls and then there's the thing that looks like a whitehead that is actually a friesain out of my best cow a blonde cross limo. A screw of a weanling gave her mother a jump when we were testing one year and she's the result. I'm curious to see how she breeds but il hang her up if she goes wrong.

They are sim x BA the first of my sim calves will be on the ground this year. Looking forward to them. No id like to keep a few but the bills will haveto be payed to ha.

I'm going to sell them around late September or early October. They should make nice cows a good balance of milk & muscle. I'd say they would cross nice with a part or bb.

Should do, fair play to you.
Would they be suitable for the breeding sales (3.5 star plus), would make lots if they are

I must look up their stars. Their dams are 4/5 star but their grand sire is an imported ba so probably get hit for their star rateing there.
