Calf is by Alwent Hitman, polled ch. Only went a few days over his time, cow is a pb 2nd calver by Virginia Andy.
He not only came backwards but her pelvis is wrong, comes into a sharp spike at the bottom and we were stuck at calfs tailbone so had no other option. Last years calf was tiny so came out easy enough with a pull.

Well tis not the bulls fault he couldn't come out so I'd have no qualms using him again! I've a cow here by him too but amn't too fond of her either. Nice cow, has great milk and had a lovely saler heifer last year as a first calver but she's a bit daft. Wouldn't trust her too much.

Wouldnt be a bad idea i suppose but her udder is so big only two teats are accessible. Havent the time or motivation to do it really.
Shes one of the two PAM cows left here and she’s a pig ignorant, stubborn, bad mannered, contrary, thick yoke so i dont think she’d take kindly to anorher calf.
That calf is an SFL bull, he’s a dopey calf and it doesnt take much milk to keep him happy. The last two years she had ZAG bulls which sucked her a lot more. If i had any sense this would be her last calf but i’ll see how she goes.

Pam cows here werent the greatest milkers but they possessed the stubborn quality. A bit on low side

All ADX calves are born that way. Great width and bone structure to them. They all lack milk but if the cow is any way milky, you could chance them as replacements.

Great terminal bull no doubt though, mother is BB X and nice little wide cow but not a super milker but just enough to get the job done, 4 th calver 4 ADX heifers out of 4 , 3 black 1 red, actually first one was my own ADX sired bull

Never wrestle with pigs

Two nice keepers, first one by a bossman bull second by a dru bull.

Another word for an udder, would be used a good bit around here aswell.

Lady Haywire

Speaking of springing, Odd-Ear the second is springing up well, few days over to a saler. This girl is a KOY blonde off a Tarot cow.
