First calf we've ever had out of a PB homebred bull Mammy only 21 months but a real trooper & took to her straight away. Surprisingly milky for a Crossmolina Jupiter heifer.

Have you had many Aubrac calves? How do you find them?

first year with an Aubrac bull and Happy out with him.Very easily calved and up and sucking straight away, he brought decent calves to aa, bb, and limo cows but didn't seem to click with a few sim cows but. Not bad either I'll stick up a few pics later u can see yourself

I used HCA a lot when he was available, some of them were a bit flighty alrite.
It was a real shame as he was the best Limousin bull to consistently breed U+ Cattle I've used.
They didn't look great when calves or even weanlings but went on to kill out really well and at big weights for age too, super muscle and shape to them.
I can't understand why his muscle, skeletal, carcase weight and carcase confirmation figures are so bad on ICBF.
Only one cow here off him, a tank of a yoke, she's getting gradually quieter every year.

Ch2000 bull calf born in January. Quiet as a lamb.

Lovely calf.
See his calving difficulty is only 4.6 at 97% reliability but his linear scores (muscle and skeletal) are shockingly back at 50% reliability (not sure if I have ever seen worse!)
Is he a once off good calf out of that bull, from a good mother, or have you others like him!

I’d say that’s pretty much nailed on. Be a bit of a trek to ship her from Mayo to Eastern Europe alright.

First time using him and she was the only cow we used him on. Have a few in calf to him this year. She's an non registered pb simmental 2nd calfer with only 3 teats. She had a smashing limo heifer last year that I kept and she is in calf to eby.

The pick of the bunch.

Lovely hairy heifer LC! Keeper?

These two enjoying a bit of good weather today. My Grandfather always said any cow with a stripe up her back would have milk, am starting to think he was right!

I probably will. Don't want to keep too many this winter though. Got a bit of a burning with them last year.

Say my name

I didn't think a few weeks ago this would be happening.

Surpluses.



I'll badly need every bit I can save this year. 60 bales of silage fed during the drought and only half my silage requirements for the winter saved yet.

I'll take any surplus that comes along when I can get it. Still worrying enough but glad to get them.

Simmental.
