He's some lump of a calf so!

She's the cow that had this calf a couple of years back. She really doesn't do small calves :pac:

Nice animals and a nice wedge of grass ahead of them.
What's the plan for them?

Has she Jersey breeding or what? She looks like she'd make a nice suckler cow.

Got a few hours last week thankfully. 25th March. Bits of old grass pushing up with it. Time to look for a few reared calves.☺

Had them as calves and the lad that bought them from me wants me to go back to a limousin bull.
Not sure though, I like waking up and having the cows after calving themselves to a Friesian.:p

No I called into the chap I bought my stock bull off today. Says he is moving to more maternal French bulls , he is sick of the English terminal bulls.

Ya, the French test their bulls before they sell straws.

Lovely beef animal but to my mind v 'bullish' looking. Nothing feminine about her, nearly be looking for a pair of balls.

Also she is a super heifer for that dob.

Anybody have an idea of what's going on with this bag, she's ready to calf any day, she done something similar last year do it didn't look as strange, she was fine in all four teats once the calf started sucking them.

Have one like that here. It's a quarter that has mastitis and it goes down a few days after she calves. Put her in the crush and stick your finger into the side of the quarter. If it leaves a dimple it's mastitis. She'll probably be grand and it will go after she calves if she was grand last year.

Strange looking isn't it, last year before calving I was sure she had lost a quarter, but after a while the calf managed to get around to all teats and she was fine hope it happens the same again, Thinking of getting rid of her anyway, she's a bitch, she was lethal last year for about 3 weeks last year after calving.

^^Had the same with an animal this year, was puzzled until I seen a calf in the next pen taking a fair few slugs when she was eating at the barrier!

Was burning shíte from the front of the barrier this morning (dry silage, fussy fcuker won't eat it)
Maxy has no fight or flight reaction to fire anyway, though she gives a good ''The fcuk are you burning food for'' look :pac:
