We had to do it on a mountain bike trip, running repairs to limp back down.
Duct tape we used. Surprisingly strong stuff.

Clifden Mart last February, good honest Connemara springer she done really well .. she is fit to kill with calf coming off of her.. might kill her next harvest or go again either way she more or less paid for herself in 8/9months..

You need an odd beast like that to turn a euro,father bought 2 middle aged aax cows with ch bull calves with them off land few yrs back,starved stock,1000 euro each team,calves did great thrive and sold in back end for 850e avg....cows were giddy so we sold them following spring in calf for around 1350 each.

that's the way to do it! I see that cow as better buying than these incalf heifers that lads specialise in getting 1600- 1800 for on DD and special in calf heifer sales... buy an older cow that can fire out a char straight away.. your money back far quicker

red bull

Some nice cows advertised for Tuam Mart on monday next in calf to char & lim bulls, must have a look to see how they go, saw them o DD

Move the trouble on to the next man. Nice.

Midlandsman80

looking forward to seeing a few pics if that calf in a few months, just looked up that bull and he is one id like to use in the future, must be the tallest blue bull available here, any reason why he is not used more? only ever mentioned on here once before your post...

weanlings enjoying some new grass today, hope it stays reasonably dry for another few weeks to get it mopped up...

Nice one chippy. Up and at her straight away which is great to see. Out of interest, did the cow go much over time? He's down on ICBF as carrying an extra 3.5d

just do it

I think a full red setter, got from the Pound about 8 years ago. Useless at setting, hates gun fire and fireworks. Which is probably why he was in the pound to begin with. Even more useless with animals. sure to be standing in the wrong place! Pit on a lot of weight after we got him cut about 5 years ago.

A whole lot of hardship, cutting it with machetes and loading into a trailer, long story seed company gave us 3 bags of the wrong seed so now we've got 3 acreas of 5-7 foot long giant inca kale thats starting to flower total cluster-f**k
the cows are happy though have gone up 2 litres since they went on it

we had cows on redstart (similar to kale) till sat, and they went on the forage rape with heaps of grass in it today. And they are milking alot better than they did on the redstart

kept black OZS lim heifer and Cottage Devon, they eating and weaned and out still and will probably wait out

Smashing looking Lim heifer above. Great body to her.

thank Bizzum, terrible photo as she all gathered up and head below in a bucket but she is a pure savage of a calf, not overly tall, DEZ calf is leggier but if this Ozeus is as maternal as the figures are suggesting then she has to be good

Lovely stock. have an orange DEZ heifer out of a SI cow ready for bull. I wonder are they making good cows

Mac Taylor

Some pictures of 5 replacements that we have calving next year. 2 are pbr in calve to rmx and ahz (Munster Ai) out of abi. (Amp Brigideer) The heifer on her own is out of one of my own pbr cows. The other 3 are in calve to pacha 08, a shorthorn bull whose name I cannot remember and our own stockbull. They will be calving down between 24 and 28 months. We bought them as weanlings this time last year. Hopefully they will be lucky!.

Mac Taylor

MF 35 earning its keep this summer. Unbelievably handy around the place.

Bizzum

We bred some serious stock off Brigadeer (ABI), best Lim for years we've used.

we have a 35 also, great for building up the muscles in your arms, use it for scraping yard, goes faster in reverse than forwards:D

I don't know if any calved down out of him yet so not sure.. I hope he does bring milk, the one I held onto is out of a good red lim X cow that has milk .. is yours big for her age against others anything ive seen out of him grows and grows

I can't see DEZ bringing milk, few Charolais will, but look at the Dams, the Sim and the Lim, I'd be thinking the drop of milk will be kept, maybe not to the same extent of the dam but adequate none the less. There must be power in the Ch milk too, looking at some of ours they look slack in the elder dept, but the calves look well.

Cf61 heifer I bought off the girlfriends auld lad, Great power about her I think.





Was topping up walls in the winterage the other day, left one small stone up on top of it and it all came crashing down, typical.

Mac Taylor

Redzer, Lovely heifer. Is there a bit of sim in her. regardless she will through a good calf from either a lm or ch.

hugo29

redzer, so you went for it, i hope you got a good discount:D

call her after the mother in law, that should go down well;)

The mother is a very milky whiteish charolais cow but there could be some sim in her alright. Shes as quiet as a snail too, completly different to the limos

just do it

Redzer, your persistence has paid off
