I'm wrong about that, he was €40 last year plus a royalty for pedigree cattle.

Fine looking bull but i'd day you'd want a calving jack handy when his calves would be arriving.

I see that the Limousin last sale in Carlisle that the top 6 bulls sold had Ampertaine blood in either the sire or dam. That's some going and an endorsement for easy calving genetics.

Serious stock in that video.
What price would those weanling heifers make... 2000+?

His stock do tend to sell well in Roscrea. He's a fierce hard seller though. Seen him refuse a lot of good prices.

First saler heifer we've had in the back there, extremely scrawny at birth, shaping up lovely now though!! Dam is the white polly at the front.



And a Karen form of guntering as she kept jumping the gate yesterday when in heat, today being used to wean them both

I'm very disappointed with the lack of binder cord holding that ladder.

That isn't a bike lock! It's a security system

Either way, if I tried that the key would mysteriously disappear on me, and I'd have to choose between cutting the ladder, the gate, or the lock

Now there's a reason it's be disappearing if you couldn't figure out to cut the cheapest thing!

You could ate that grass yourself.

TITANIUM.

Tis serious looking quality stuff to be sure.
Thould nearly be a shame to graze it.
Well done you, maybe I should be taking more notice of all this Paramagnetism talk.

Not going to blow my own trumpet.
Not sure I believe it either but I think paramagnetism is just grass roots in proximity to a high paramagnetic rock?
You could say either that the fine dust would make sulphur, iron, magnesium, silica, calcium and others available to microbes and thus the grass plant.
Pick which ever one makes you sound more intelligent.;)

But looking good so far.

Bejaysus it doesn't have that much to do with it. Come look at my crops of docks and thistles and they in Wexford too!
Well done Floki, looks fantastic.

When I click on sonnybills link all I get is a black screen.
I guess anyone that can see it has an iPhone?

So can't agree or disagree or even thank sonnybills post cause I can't see it.:(

Weanlings are grazing mine now as we speak and they're not as bothered or in a rush for the meal trough. Seem to be happy out on it.
