    Cracking tight heifer with length. I am not a LM fan but she catches my eye.
    The type I would go for.

    If there was milk yes, Eurogene here, so have used ODZ, or UBY, watch diet from 6 weeks before due. Second time to FZM or blue.
    Put FZM on 2 BBX & 1 LM before CD% increased, 1 BBX had a section, other 2 on their own, which has put me off him for heifers & issue could have been the heifer

    Thanks, it's just a pity his figures are so bad cause he throws cracking calves with lovely neat heads. It's a bad photo of the young one but she's rather bonkers as I've only handled her once to tag her!

    I'd be head of the queue! I still think it's only because he was advertised as normal calving- most of his male ancestry are easy to normal calving between 3.9% and 8.9% So he was horsed onto animals in his first year and it all went pear shaped nine months later.

    Big butt didn't do J.Lo any harm and it won't do that heifer any harm either:) Lovely animals by the way

    Nothing better that I'm putting up here just yet ;)
    That is a lovely heifer you have, stock bull? This the old bull you got rid of this year?
    I have to say I'm seriously admiring that cow in the background more. Age? She looks fantastic and a good breeder. Her hip bones and tail placement are on point for my eye.

    That's her mother lim x sim and a 4 year old calved as a 2yo springer. Bit poorer than normal because she had twins this year. I bought a foster cow off a neighbour for the other one but she hasn't much milk and the other calf is hungry. Still have the bull, best one we ever had here and I'll hold onto him as long as possible. Calves coming really square and muscly out of him along with being quiet. Wasn't a bad buy at 2.5k in hindsight.
