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

I find it very good.

But It's slow work and hard to get a window every year. The thing is in weather like this when ground conditions are excellent, it's the last thing on your mind but that's when u need to ve doing a bit!!

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

I think now. Ground that needs it will still have plenty of moisture down where the mole is working. Grass might be burning but established mature trees with deep roots are doing ok.

I have similar looking vegetation her Tanko but it is brown in colour. Are they related I wonder?

As long as its edible it’ll do.

That's probably the local Football pitch, They won't be needing it this year so they turned a few sheep into it to keep it down!

More grass in Alberta today than itback home.
Wheat crops look alright from the road but looked very patchy from the air flying in.

Personally i wouldnt......but that would be more because i prefer xharolais and blue calfs rather than limos
Iirc you have a limo bull though

If your happy with her breeding then I'd keep her. She's a cracker by the way. She'll be a different animal by the time she's calving down. I've kept plenty of muscled heifer like her or even more extreme. Everyone would tell you that your looking for trouble when there that age but when they start growing there frame they transform.

Cherrs for that. I put another e grade heifer off that bull incalf shes a cracker aswell. I was always told teht e grades are poor calfers. I dont use bulls above calfing dif of 5. The jack has rusty as hell. I am delighted

Agree with last comment. If she grows away, you will have a better idea then if she's suitable. Is she by lodge hamlet, by any chance?.
Looks like his offspring.

I remember you showing her to us as a heifer (the ere cow). Have two ERE cows here and they put great back ends on their offspring alright. Am keeping one this year, would be about the same age as yours, not as highly muscled though.
But as above, she'll grow into her frame and lose some of that arse of hers, Id take into account how her mother calves too

I only have the one ERE cow. I have another cow that threw an E grade Heifer last year. The ERE cow is wrecked after her first calf. I bought her as an Incalf heifer and she came with a monster. Got the vet and pulled the calf just about. Calf Died on the jack. Cow is wrecked. had a little pull with this heifer this year. Slight lock at the hips, nothing major at all. Any cow would be the same. I know with that ERE line its not a great Line to be keeping but i would like to take a shot at keeping her.

You cant beat the muscle in the cow...have a few charolais cows that are impossible to put shape like that lad on a calf

Found this stone today. Very rounded and smooth. I reckon it's a flour stone as according to old maps, there was once a house at the spot. Up on a hill, far from any river. What you reckon?

I wonder could it be a sling shot stone?
I thought that flour stones were more oblong in shape?
