    I bought 4 pedigree heifers and a cull cow off a breeder. They weren't good enough for him for breeding. Samy , xgl , vdt & the lady in the picture. Others are that fine light hungry orange looking ones. I just bought them for grass.

    thought my one would be a show stopper when born, big pull with her and she had loads of muscle but she has turned into a plain enough heifer, wouldnt use him again now, mother was abig cow now so he is hard enough calving

    Ya he must have been disappointed enough too if he culled her but he would be very picky , unless it's good enough for Roscrea ......good luck

    Obviously going to jinx this lady but she's a plain. Fhz cow but a cracker to rear a calf. Ends up with nearly the best calf every year , a total anonymous cow which I love.

    That's a super looking KZH calf, pity it's not a heifer. KZH looks like a very good bull, will you use him again?
