    why not would she not have milk enough,


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,202 ✭✭✭tanko


    Any milk in that heifer Kovu, she's a beaut. Can ya not hide her somewhere for a while.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    Majority of heifers this year calved.
    3x PB hf being kept along with two late calved cows that had bulls.


    Only enough fodder to go around!

    Ya have to agree with kovu. Looks the makings of a good beef heifer but she don't look feminine enough in the head for breeding imo. But you have savage stock lad. Was her mother a good cow or what your rationale?

    She is out of landais and a sim/lim first calf heifer, that and I always wanted a blonde cow was my reason for keeping her. She was very muscly when younger but lost it as she stretched out, so I was thinking she might work out. That's an interesting point about the head I never paid any attention to that before.

    If it was me and I thought she'd have enough milk, I'd breed from her. She'd have to right in the hips too. Start off with something very easy calving.

    Are you the first man to bring a Hurley to west Clare? You wouldn't want to show up at the KIB pitch with it or you'll be banned outta there for life :D
    Ya, like SMB club. A huge club and they treat the big ball as if it were satan's making. Sad really. I have a young relative, who's mad into both hurling and football and he has to go to a neighbouring parish to play football.:mad:

    First one should be entered into the competition. :)
