    Keeping with the B&W theme around here.
    Razorback (the cow) is an 11yo HO/FR and due to calf in the next few days.
    The cat is just chillaxing.

    A embryo Canadian FR/HO bull that we bought last year with that cow and others to feed on. We kept the cow as she was in milk and she reared several bought in calves.

    No silage since 8 yesterday evening. Then left out in a road for an hour this morning. Then into the field. They cantered into the field and put their heads down into the grass for about 3 hours. They are too hungry to fight or fcuk around.

    She a lovely heifer bough her for 630 @ 260kg in nov 13 she was bulled at the bare 14 months. She just took of last summer and grew like hell. She has the Angus temperament and the lim breeding. Wish I had a few more like her. Calved on day 282.

    nice looking animals to be sure and hope you have lots more.
    btw do have any problems on cow mat when calving , just asking as i gave up using because cows slipped on them once they were wet, and became nervous so i reverted to plenty of straw or preferably paddock near house

    Never calve anything inside unless there is problems. That heifer was maybe a bit to well fed and after 2 hours with feet out it was time stick her in the shed and jack him out. I got them mats last week and put them in just so if there was problems they would not be lying on the cold concrete.

    All I know, is that a bird like her will take her sweet time, and will only work to her own timetable, not the farmers !!!!;)

    The heifer my girlfriend has claimed as her own. Lim out of a blue hereford x Simmental cow marked the exact same as herself. Can really see them thriving the last few days with the sun on their backs!

    Bulling a few of these to calve down at 24 months. First time trying the 24 month calving but I don't think size will be an issue. At a guess I'd say they are 450kg easy.

    They are in with that group. I bought these a few weeks later from a fella we bought heifers off last year. He breeds fantastic stock in fairness to him.
