    Sympa (SYP) cow. A good example of how a cow with very little milk will hold condtion well. Fingers crossed in-calf to Bavardage (AGB). Hoping to add milk and a bit more size.

    Lovely heifer. I've seen a lot of Foreman bulls but this is the first heifer. Hows she for docility?
    Did you get the straws from Elite Pedigree Genetics? I see Semenstore.ie now have Foreman and Gigolo.

    Bought her. She's very quiet. Out of an Alfi cow. Savage top on her and very well built. Won't be the biggest but will be fine hopefully.

    Yep, she's a keeper, which is the main reason she wasn't fed. Lovely character too, dunno how many times I was keeled over laughing at her as a calf :D

    Exactly, see the yellow as softer to finish.
