OVO blue heifer

ELP

Had A Lim bull broke in to 18 month old heifers yesterday.
The heifer he bulled was an OVO blue X hereford.
She is a big enough but was wondering what ye think of them as a replacement?
Should I let her run or inject?
Any opinions?

If she's lucky with you, she could be a top of the range cow.

Do you know anything about the Lim bull? Do you use him on heifers or is he a Xbred bull?

Chances are she will be a super cow. OVO daughters are one of the best calvers, according to his figures. The hereford will add milk too, so fingers crossed.
If you don't want her, you might get a few offers from lads here.:D

It was not my bull - the neighbours.
He only bought it this year but is meant to be easy calving.I will get talking to him at the weekend to find out exact lines of it.
Only worry I would have is having to ring vet at 3am to cut out calf, wouldnt like that.

I could probably come up with €500 (or maybe a shake more) and relieve you of all worry:D

Im always looking for a few replacements I think you have made you my mind.
Her mother is a very quiet and fertile cow just wasnt sure of OVO.
Thanks for the replies she will be a keeper.

OP I reckon you'll be ok, you have the date she is due so keep her on bareish ground for six wks before she calves
