WTB, yep, mother is just not very motherly and is off down the field eating!

tanko · 29-11-2014 2:22pm

WTB is 12% CD:eek:, it's no wonder she's keeping away from you now:D

Shush....shush. It's out now and all is ok

She's not that big a calf, the heifer would definitely have been able to calve herself if it wasn't coming backwards.

Whats tied up on the heifers head ?

naughto · 29-11-2014 3:09pm

Horns just cut off I'd say its to stop the bleeding.
My oulfella used to do this aswell

As naughto said, she was skulled on Thursday and tied up tight before they were cut to restrict any bloodflow to the horns.

I'll snip it off her in a couple of days.

I thought it could have been a miraculous medal for expectant mothers... . Seems to have done the trick anyways given her age and that fine calf!!

Ha! Not her calf, she's just very motherly to it. The real mother is quite a bit larger :P

Its a clean job , very neat . I would cut off the strings sooner rather than later though . They start growing into the head very quick . 24hrs is the max I leave them on for here but I use elastic so maybe that's worse

I use a lot of part now. Ya I'd say he ll do the business alright. Her last years calf made over 1100 in August. He is my first CBQ, I remember you saying last year you got good results off him.

Maybe it's a west Ire thing

String is tied around the horns before being skulled. Stops the blood spurting & lessens loss after as it restricts the flow.

We use cut up tubes from car tyres - same principle.
However we remove them the next day as they have a tendency of cutting into the skin due to their elasticity.

Lovely heifers Miname. Are you going to go pb with the APZ heifer? If not a lim off her could be v good. HCA maybe.

I have a heifer very similar to the roan one calving to ZLL in feb. AI man told me he's breeding lovely calves but someone on here said he's not great. His maternal figures look unreal. AA isn't everyone's cup of tea but I had two red Angus calves off ch heifers this year and they are great calves

Creaga dice is a shorthorn and isn't available any more I think.
