Nice Shorthorn bull calf from yesterdays ploughing.

Used Dovea Shorthorn Crega Dice a few years ago, on a right powerful white char cow. Got twins.
Two lovely yellowish speckled coloured calves. Bull and heifer!! Didn't get to breed her unfortunately.
Sold the heifer as a calf. The bull paid just as much as his herd mates, which were Charolais from char X cows.
Planning on using him again next spring on another char cow in hope of a heifer. -;)

Re the phone number and other details now obscured in the photo above, I think we'd be okay with leaving that on view.
After all, the person involved has made those details publicly available themselves.

The prohibition on that sort of thing in the charter, and particularly on personal details in the text of posts, is to protect private individuals (both posters here and others) from spammers and other such nefarious characters who 'scrape' websites for contact details to aid them in their endeavours.

Black with people there yesterday, seemed like Wednesday was the right day to go, we left before the infamous "shower" that had people running for their cars too, so not too bad.

anyone else think the cattle displays were poor compared with years gone by?

Thought the Limousin was back on other years, but the number of different breeds was very good. Compare to the sheep all squashed into one tunnel, seems only shearing sheep is interesting part of sheep! Thought the sheep ireland stand was very poor, back end of the tunnel hidden away why not out front where everyone walking past?

Completely agree about the sheep, there's a load could have been seen/done there but just a handful of stands in one small tunnel was a poor show.

I was disappointed in SI as well, was speaking to them about a couple of things and the disinterest was poorly hidden. Are they serious about improving breeds or just a paycheck to be collected.

On the positive side had great conversations with one or two stands in the tunnel.

It was grand early on, but from 10am onwards it started getting mobbed. We stopped using the walkways and were using rat runs behind the tents/stands to navigate the place, worked well.

blue men are only interested in the dairy man now for their bulls,and want too supply uncle larry with more cheap beef,a total disgrace as the blue is top of the class this year in the right marts with shippers,lim stand had weanlings suitable for shipping and bb stand were suitable for factory,the pt stands cows well shall we say were starved,have a look in the year book at pics of what they had come from,they did not stop eating the bed from under them for a couple of hours after been unloaded:D:D (joke)

If your happy enough to carry a tank of a cow, why not? I'd go for it, we have some PB Charolais cows that wouldn't flood the place with milk but they breed and rear powerful calves.

Was there today and we were just saying the very same in car on the way home

There was a small aubrac cow there tho with a culard ch calf about month old that caught my eye .
A smashing calf from an average cow .

And then went into the BB area hoping to see some really good cattle and......
Not one beast was standing , no joke .. :rolleyes:

Here's a BaX AA cow earmarked for culling. Her calf is off our own CH bull, and a bit plain for our liking.
She bred only one top quality calf in her time.

Bollox, I can't attach the pic. I used to know, but now can't figure it out.

I like them myself, was doing a bit of research on them last week and Mayo seems to be the nearest breeder. Nice tidy sized cows and the seem to cross very well with a charolais.

Didnt pay to much heed to the salers if im honest so dont remember that calf .

Went into Progressive Genetics and seen a STQ heifer which wasnt upto much either .
Dont get me wrong there was nothing wrong wit her what so ever , but iv seen stq calves posted on here before that would have left her sitting ..

But richie kavanaghs lovely singing made up for the lack of quality around :D
