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

Earlier I posted a pic of a bull calf from a maternal bull. Here is a calf the same age out of a terminal bull (queenshead altea). Big difference between the two calves

I hear you on that one. Maybe we'd be better off just going with terminal and paying well for replacements. I'd prefer to have a closed herd though

tanko · 13-09-2014 5:20pm

What bulls have you used this year Robin?

RobinBanks · 13-09-2014 7:14pm

Blonde weanling heifer that I hope to breed.

Kovu · 13-09-2014 8:43pm

Nice heifer Robin but dare I say.....a bulls head:o

Feckthis · 13-09-2014 8:49pm

ODZ calf from AA Heifer.

Kovu · 13-09-2014 8:55pm

Love this heifer but dad won't keep her.

why not would she not have milk enough,

tanko · 13-09-2014 9:03pm

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

Kovu · 13-09-2014 9:04pm

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!

tanko · 13-09-2014 9:07pm

How much does he want for her?;)

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.

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:

Keep her. Impossible to get Landais heifers now. She won't disappoint you.

land would be fairly poor so don't expect a massive crop but there is 25 acres of it so will have to round up a good few beasts for it

not relying on it for feed either as have feed left over from last year as well as this years crop so have 3 times more fodder than I need but I might try and up the numbers of stock on the farm

Strip wires. Heavy covers

Justjens · 16-09-2014 6:37pm

This fella decided to enter this world with his best assets first, at 3am, needless to say I had to wake my vet for assistance.

2 1/2 year old SH/CH cross heifer, thank God she was quiet......

AA sire, thankfully he has waited to fully develop once he hit terra firma:)

Kovu · 16-09-2014 6:39pm

Did the vet give him any shot to straighten his knees out Justjens? Would be no harm to help him along.
