hard calving and soft, but as good a one we've ever had. Just waiting for him to do the splits on the slats or get his head stuck under a gate.

What's he off?

There's a few issues with the display of pages atm after the hamsters went on a work-to-rule the last week or so.

Hopefully all the hamsters have been shot sorted out after todays updates.

Hey folks, we've been looking at issues of pages being miscounted so this thread should be rectified now. You weren't missing any actual content, but the page tabs made it look as though there were pages of inaccessible posts. Sorry about that.

If you spot other threads in which this is happening, please let us know here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057928262

I was cleaning out the meal feeders in the parlour for the winter and this fella happened to be asleep in one of the troughs.

The picture quality is not great but it's not easy holding the phone in your left hand.

I've big hands so I think it's a dung beetle?

Yea, he's Feb so a touch young, will try him with a small second calver next month, noticed her in heat the other day but thought he wouldn't be fertile yet.
Am pleased with how he's turned out so far anyway!

Not saying the same about yours but you can clearly see the difference between the ai calves and the one out of the pb bull we sold last year

Yea I know what you mean, you might remember the cow heifer in question, she was the one that calved at 21 months or so. Was incalf to that lads full brother. Heifer calf is a grand looking little thing, won't win any prizes but not a bad sort. If I had the same again I'd be happy.
