    Took this girl out to the calving pen today so can get a proper look at her. She'll always be small- mother was a heifer, grandmother was a heifer- but she's actually fairly well nailed together and has a lovely bag forming. She's off THZ, not renowned for milk but guess I'll find out!

    Crappy maternal & milk on paper, real life tells a different tale though!:D
    Nice little saler heifer off Ulsan.

    F**k the stars. His genotyping not gone through yet and he's borderline aswell so might go up. Doesn't matter anyway, the limmy has stars coming out his ears so I'm covered.

    That'll all rot back into the pasture now aswell. A bag of granlime per acre wouldn't hurt now

    Hoping for a bit of warm weather soon because shed space is rapidly running out. These two calved at the weekend. After 5 attempts using AHC I finally got a heifer

    And then this monster landed. LZF heifer calf at 295 days. A fair pull with the jack but once the head came she wasn't to bad but I did have to put the ropes above the knees because she was the length of the jack at that stage. She is easily as big as calves born 3 weeks ago.

    Anybody ever see anything like this before. Nearly all the cattle have it but the white one is the worst. She has lesions on tail and hook bones aswell.

    I treated them with spotinor a few weeks after housing but this flared up about 2 months back. I sprayed them with Taktick 3 weeks ago and that made no difference.

    Looks like ringworm to me, this winter has to be the worst ever for it for some reason.

    +1 on the ringworm. Had some like that here a few years ago on a few cattle. A combination of iodine rubbed in and Imaverol got rid of it.

    I thought only young cattle get ringworm ? These are cows that have it.

    Thanks for letting me know what it is lads
