Unfortunately I'm still confined to using my phone as my laptop is still broken so I'm not good at posting emojies on the phone.
Anyway after seeing the response (over there) it seems to be a common enough spectacle. Boo hoo, how ignorant we are :-((

A couple of photos I have of the cattle I have.

80%limo with montebellard in background.



"Jedward" 70-80% limo with brown swiss background. Calf off limo stock bull and 1 week old.



Same cow again - the calf is 4 weeks now.





Jedwards mad horny daughter aged 18months there but running with the bull now. Nothing great to look at but I've faith in her.

Speckle park cow and her ZLL AA heifer calf. (OH calls her Oreo)




Dunno about showing this one- mods might decide. My own little lady watching the rescue helicopter land in a recently baled field for a school show and tell. They gave her a silicone wrist band but she wouldn't go into the helicopter

Is there any other reason you want to cull, that's a nice calf.
After 35 days stick a CIDR in her, if it works she'll be Calving in May

I'm not overly impressd with her milk. I've to get rid of a few cows this year so in the process of deciding. Will be scanning in a week to see where I'm at which co s in calf

Two born on Wed, first is a Coom Indurain bull (Grrrr, I wanted a replacement!) Second is a tiddly little heifer off Ulsan the saler, will see how she shapes up, mammy Panda has a great pot for a first calver too. Must be a throwback gene in her colouring, her belly is white all the way from her front legs to her arsehole.

Yea got a digger in to do it, only a couple of days work. Nice clean job and the field is already so much drier.

A summer baby! Whenever they feel like calving I don't mind, so long as they're alive
