I was offered allot of money for her but I won't sell. She's out of a roan Malibu cow. I know it will prob be a section but I'm trying to produce a calf for fatstock sale in carrick. Hopefully between all these and a couple of muscly KJB heifers I might get lucky. Bit of a hobby for me.

Was talking to a Dovea Ai tech last week, he said LM2014 is very popular, have you any calves off him yet?

Most of these heifers aren't suitable for breeding for the average suckler man/woman but I will try anything once.

To me, the last 2 should calve on their own. But that's going on a side view only.

Well hopefully you are right. The first heifer (DBZ) is very fat and not much room around pelvis. A bit to short aswell.

3* pbr heifer off mpb and her favars heifer calf. She has a nice bag of milk, I was afraid she might have none as her grandfather is abi. Will hopefully give her the Dovea bull lm2014 next.

Clogherhead umpire heifer hopefully in calf to Ulsan. (Saler bull) ai man didn’t want to go lm with her......even an easy calving one.

Zag bull born in November dam is by dancer., might keep him for myself

Ampartaine Hollywood heifer born in feb, really happy with her. Very shapely, she is a half sister to the mpb heifer.

Thanks charolais, to be fair that’s what I do. Doesn’t really show in the photos. The reason I put it further down the tail is that it’s the young bull that does most of the mounting and he can’t reach that high:D

Sure who needs a bucket of nuts these days. All you need is a trained Tweed
(As you can hear it's windy on the hill so they stay here in the heat)

croot

They dont look like it but these are twins. From polled limo bull OEO and born last October. I'm standing on a hill above them and thats why they look a bit stumpy.

I had intended selling the autumn bulls this week but with the fecking drought I'd say customers will be scarce.

An animal like that is worth its weight in gold when trying to move animals

Have to admit she was very easily trained, just started her in the shed. Problem is now she follows me around the field like a shadow:pac:

That looks good. I bought a single leg mole plough with cutting disc on the front and it leave a fierce ridge behind it. Dog rough altogether.

How deep do you leg the leg down into the ground?

Muckit

Off top of my head ....18"
She's an R&M with cutting disc out front.
I'm no expert but I've found the trick is setting the top link right.

If I remember right, you have it a few years. Are you getting good results with it?

funkey_monkey

Is that done instead of using an aerator?
Do you have a drainage map of the field or how are you doing the actual ploughing?

Exact same as my one so. When is ideal time to use it? Very dry weather like now or in spring time when there is some "give" in the ground
