You're working off a phone I take it?

On my phone you go up to the top right corner and press the three dots and enter "new tab" then into the postimage website and upload of a picture from your gallery on your phone to the website. Then when it says upload complete. Go down the list underneath the picture of links and I click onto the direct link tab and it says link copied. Then I come back over to my first tab which is boards where I'm posting a message. Move down a space and press the blue dot and the copied link is posted in the message and then wrap img tags around that link to embed the picture.



Go yourself and click reply to this message to see the img tags wrapped around the link. But don't actually post a reply not unless you really want to.

You'll have to close all boards tabs and clear cookies. I can talk you through it on Chrome but it's fairly similar on all operating systems I think?

You might have to do it two or three times. I had to do it 3 times and then google boards and sign in again.

He's the big JKS calf that was born about 2 1/2 months ago. By the time he reaches a creep feeder he should be doing well!

Yea I've noticed that! Hard to know what to do until he hits meal & see how he goes on. Have an inkling he could get bellyish.

The bull didn't do that alone. Mammy is a serious looking outfit too.

Mammy is served to ch this year, give her an easier calf at 14 if she makes it! She's no major looker, low & wide, yet still herd leader at her age. Quiet & follows a bucket and brings the rest so what more could a farmer want

That's not mammy in the photo btw, that's the teenage pregnancy Salers. Going to be a nice girl once she hits maturity. Could be cutting teeth at the moment as she's a bit skinny, can see it on her neck.

Lovely heifer. Charolais for her when she is a saler.

Base price

A triskele of SHx heifers that I bought in from a dairy farmer friend

Edit: I didn't realise the pic was landscape. Maybe one of the Mods can flip it the right way up.

The brown bullock in the last photo is a lovely animal. Very best of luck with them, they are fine animals.

He's very muscley. Fine calf but the colour takes from him a bit. Must try get them started on it bit of meal in the next fortnight. They are leaving the limousin calves for dead thrive wise.

Putting out some cattle and their calves this week. I am a bit meet about them sporting through a fence before they get settled - happened once before, sported down the field straight over/under/through a fence.
Alongside a main road, so got reason for concern.
The cows should be grand, just way about their calves, mostly 2- 3 months old.

Got caught this year so they are in longer then they should have been.

Any tricks for getting them out and settled without a disaster?

Let a few out at a time and let them get tired and settle. Let a few more out then.

Restrict fodder preferably the night before and let them out early in the morning. I always try to have stock hungry at turnout so they start grazing instead of running amok. It takes a few hours for them to fill themselves upon which time the novelty of freedom has wore off and they usually stay put. I'd advise only turning out on days your at or near home, you can keep an eye on them and react accordingly.
