    Drove right up to him on the tractor. Couldn't get within 100 yards of him otherwise.

    The first daughter of the "under age" heifer calved with her 2nd calf- heifer. Dam had her at 15months age. She was a tiny calf, but grew into a wonderful cow. Worth keeping a couple heifers from her.

    Had temperatures hitting +30C from mid April until the end of June. Then a week or maybe a bit more cooler weather with some heavy rain. Now back to +30C. If not that rain we would be struggling alot. The grass is growing well for now. Hoping for some rain soon.

    Don't think shes dear even if she has a bull you could give 1100/1200 for a 18 month heifer of similar quality other years like.....We normally wouldn't buy anything calving this time of year but I know where shes come from and what her mother is capable of producing which is worth something too IMO.

    Block's. Was a bit awkward there. Big slab of rock underneath so built it up with gravel to try and get depth for pillars. Just put a small bit of concrete around them yet to hold in place. Going to case it now and get a load of readymix.
