Few photos of spring calves. All after our own blue stock bull. All from 5 -8 weeks old. Blue calf is out of a blue cow (photo 5). Friesian marked guy is out of a 1st Cross black limo. Two blacks are from a blonde Cross and a parthenaise Cross (suckling). Grey fellow is out of a mousey coloured blonde Cross cow.

really great quality calves

Noticed a bullock dribbling a bit the other day. When I checked him, he has two teeth up, but a fragment is broken off one. Should I have it pulled or will it fall out with use? It's affecting his thrive a little I'd say.

As usually going to wedding church at 1230. First water bag at 8.all good great stuff haveing the boiled eggs and looking at camera and she a bit daft. Then I spot her makeing a run for it.
But all well in the end and calf thrown out no bother around 1030 but still no suck.
Left all in ould fellows hands so pints are back on the menu.

Shut it wouldn't be right to have a heifer marked like that. Courtesy of the neighbors Hereford bull.

Had a set of twins earlier in the year registered them as bull and heifer. When it came to selling them the heifer was actually a bull with no balls. Never saw it before. Had to get the card changed

I wouldn't be surprised you know, he knew no boundaries. I had him for most of the summer and told the local gossip I had longer handles got for the burdizoo and I was going to squeeze him...didn't see him since

I know a man who got fed up with his neighbours bull coming in, put him in the crush and squeezed him. The owner didn't discover this for months after.
He was a poor quality scrub bull tho.

Ah I wouldn't do it either but just wanted him to stop coming in, he drew a puck on a young bull I had last summer and broke his rod aswell.

Had done something similar last year. A couple our cows pastures are next to one neighbor's pasture. We have a suckler herd, he has dairy cattle. In that pasture he always keeps young and elder bulls, starting from 1 year up to 5 or even over, not castrated. Once we move next to those pastures there will always appear new guests in our herd. The bigger ones jump over fences like horses. It's not nice to come to the herd and find a big old dairy bull walking around. Plus we know that they have attacked people. Last year one big bull appeared in our herd and stayed there for a couple days. Tried to call for his owner-never answered, sent many messages, but he did nothing. There is a pbr Limousine bull in our herd, but he still is young.
After we lost any hope somehow managed to put a rope on the dairy bull's horns and tied him to the tree. Our bull did all other job.
That neighbour never took good care of his cattle. He never milks his cows, had many dead animals during winters, saw one cow dead in the field in the summer due to not being able to calve and etc. Our local veterinary inspection does nothing too.
Not a nice feeling, but better than risk your family's and animals health.

No it's a pain in the hole to work at! Cows in a byre in that door that's at the end of the crush but there's dry pens opposite and the cattle go mad when you're dehorning in that wee pen. Can be awkward getting the cows to take the sharp turn up the crush too.

He said Sultan can't be got anymore but I'm sure there's straws to be found somewhere.
