    Anyone cross an Angus with white charolais? What way would they turn out? What colour
    A bad grey that doesn't help them if I remember but I might be thinking on another cross.

    Used ai on a nice white heifer she will be calving at 20 months to TUBRIDMORE GIZMO (RGZ). Probably should have used easy calving lim. Be interested to see what comes of it

    Have a few greys from crossing with bb bulls in past. They threw lovely whites with Mozart stock bull.

    This Lad weighted in at 1050kg, few months to decide on next bull.
    Any suggestions. Stick with the charolais?

    Glad to get this done on saturday, all tanks empty and never really marked the ground. Couldn't travel on the bit to the left of the field. £90/hr well spent. 5 hours had it all out. IMG_6364.JPG

    Is that Lough Neagh in the background or the sea?

    Ah Patsy, come on up for a geography lesson. That's Scotland you can make out in the distance, eleven nautical miles across.

    Anywhere near Cushendall? Neighbour (RIP) was married to a girl from there.

    Yeah, about 12 miles to Cushendall. Before they built the coast road folk would have travelled by boat to Scotland to trade as it was easier than getting to the local bigger market towns.

    They got most from grazing ahead of cows but starting to eat now if they get it, still no weight in them as April calves .. Lost a month last year on most of them

    Is Fiston the most popular PG CH bull?
    Does the cow need height?

    I find she does. Any fiston I've had from a butty cow is a butty calf.

    LZF seems to be bringing height but still easy enough calved. I've only one so far but a friend has a few and they are nice.

    Exactly what ICBF are saying. Fiston at 14% for height and LZF at 62%.
    Super calves there Sonnybill. Should easiliy make €3/kg.

    Yeah I'd second that height may be an issue with FSZ. I kept a Nov born weanling out of him but she out of my biggest cow so I'll judge Fiston on her as cow, bundles of rep stars and super heifer but hope she grows a bit more

    Not farming, but I was reading today of another foreign fisherman washed up on the west coast. The total disregard for their own safety is unreal. I took this picture the last time I was out fishing. This foreign guy near me fishing down on a ledge that was washed by about a foot of water on every swell. His young son was fishing up high on the verge of the cliff on the left.

    Never seen an Irish guy ever do anything like this.

    That's nothing new really, they definitely don't seem to have any respect for the sea whether that's because they weren't brought up around it and don't understand the dangers and how big the swells can be on the west coast even on a calm day or not I don't know. I think I know that spot, just fifty yards on the bally side of the lighthouse. No place to be standing on a choppy day.

    Due to a healthy fear of water (I nearly drowned when I was younger) I normally wear my auto pfd when shore fishing unless its at my local river or lake.
