297 days isl heifer calf

Nice, they take a month before you'll like her, they take off after that. Like tanko said, good framed animals with milk and fertility in abundance.

Don't think I've ever managed to do this with a Limousin before. Only the third time he's ever had one on & he was happy to have it put on in the pen!! Then did a couple of nice circles in the pen being tapped on by Dad :)

Yea, he's going to a sale alright, just don't know which one yet! Have to get him ringed next week so going to have him half trained before then hopefully. Just turned a year old there this week.

No calf at all yet. There's a few softening to him alright but it'll be another week or two. Hopefully they won't be too big.

I was back in the burren recently. Cattle happy out outside. I was in the area just south of Mullagh Mor near Fr. Ted house. Couldnt believe it. I literally went from complete rock to great land in a few metres. Some great walks there now. Must bring the dog the next time.

How do the cattle survive grazing on the road down a bit there from Fanore?

Texel, he'd been using suffolk the last few years but found that the ewes were getting very suffolky so the lamb were coming soft.

TITANIUM.

that horned ewe must have been well looked after to be carrying trips. I'd like to see the mountain she came off😁

Different part of the county altogether.
On the left is White Mountain. Right is Blackstairs Mountain.

From that angle Croghan and blackstairs look very similar down to the fields running up along it.

Ringed at last! Norman is panned out behind him, we always get the vet to sedate them & do it for us.
He was trying to eat silage & him half asleep, he looked eerily like me eating a kebab after 10 pints :pac:

Yea, by far. Had two to skull as well so they all got their shots & we all chatted while it went to work.
