    TWO nose rings, those rebels :D

    Here's three weanling heifer arses as they're in being weaned. Mothers are in the far pen with two other cows in between that are getting dried off.

    Nice warm heifers. Pity they're sold, I'd go to €850 for that type of quality;)

    That's the crush setup in the background that I was trying to explain to you, we push the calves to jump out through the barrier and across to it.

    Two on the left are 9 months and a year old. Two on the right are 15 months old. Not much in the difference. I might chance bulling them in spring even tho we usually let them get bigger. I'll see how they grow over the winter.

    If my failing memory serves me right, the code for Euro is CXY.
    If so I have a similar heifer here kept back for breeding even though CXY has bad figures for milk.
    January heifer out of 50% lim / 50% Simmental cross cow. Big calf. Weighed 415kg yesterday. 1.5 kgs creep for past 6 weeks. Here's hoping she has milk!

    They're both sold for breeding but that heifer is out of a Paco dam which has very high figures for milk and with the bit of fr in her too she should be ok.

    AI Code:
    CSQ
    Animal Name: CROSSMOLINA EURO

    From www.icbf.com :rolleyes:

    Both Carcass Wt and Concormation are in the top 1% for the Char breed, and well proven too. A bit on the hard calving though.

    I don't mind using a hard calving bull, once you're confident enough to calve her or know when a vet is needed......and you're happy to babysit half tonne animals when they're near calving:D

    Sure ERE is 18.6%- Down from 23%.

    Have a heifer due to WTB on Friday as well, he's 12.2%

    At times. Only had five sections here in my time though and that was due to cows being overfat, not monsterous calves. We wouldn't normally put a blue on a heifer now tbh, can't remember who made thar call but she's not heavy looking and she's a huge framed heifer. Only mature (4 or 5 yr old) cows that have proven calving ability get the super hard calved bulls. Although looking at next year's bulls, I was a bit optimistic about them!! Lots of fgg and ere.

    I won't disclose that but he can tell you if he likes!

    I am a happy seller anyhow, hope he is as happy too.
    He can call her Kovu and then he'll be watching Kovu bulling in the fields next year :D:D

    Can ERE be got as he's not in latest book. FGG looks the part & Indurain brought great stock

    Yea our AI man has a lot of him, bought 10 ERE straws off him to keep in the pot for me just in case he runs low. Perhaps he's not been used much this year as lads are wary of his calving diff? I know a lot of guys round here wouldn't touch him. Have two pb's in calf to him next year.

    Was always a fan of Indurain, first bull calf I bred was by him so will always have a soft spot for him.
