Not feeding like that you won't!

Reminds me of a story from a few years ago about a fella going off feeding 30 cows with a half a bucket of nuts. His elderly neighbour told everyone he met he was giving them a nut each

I do that As in always carry a few nuts in the boot, now and again when herding throw a handful of nuts to them. Especially coming up to a time near testing or dosing.

Makes it a bit easier get them in, and doesn't cost too much. Different if he was going with his half bucket of nuts in the depths of Winter

Super heifers there jdi. The Blonde coloured one catches my eye. She's the image of a real good cow we have, a Ba X Ch. How's your one bred?

Muckit

Replacement heifers for Autumn 16

CH heifer born 3/11/14, by FSZ. Her dam is by OMA out of a good milky LMX cow. The great grandma was a good SIM cow.
LM heifer born 1/10/14 by FTY. 3rd generation AI with granddad FL22 and great granddad HKG. Again the great grandmother was a solid milky LMX cow.

May their dams produce heifers again this autumn

JD, is that red heifer quiet? Just wondering what way FTY is breeding, as Cerberus breeds wild enough cattle.

tanko

The grey lad is worth €500 apparently:). Not bad for a two star cow.

We have a few here by fty and two of them will come for a scratch and the other 1 will let you scratch him when you move slow. He is breeding very well we used him on a cow and two heifers the other day.

Half twin limousine heifer out of the stock bull and a limousin cow.

Same as that, was able to lay a hand, albeit briefly, on her the other day. Always try to lay a hand on some of them when checking them. Over time they get used to it.

I love to see a bull in his working clothes. He is a fine bull with length which is so important and often overlooked in favour of a big end.

Cheers. He's by raceview king and a hillcrest champion dam.
