    Fine heifer. Would yeah not fatten her? Too good to make a cow of her! :)

    That's 2 different heifers but look very similar. Ones by Ulysses and the other mas de clau. It'd be a shame to hang them up.

    Another few

    There all fine strong looking heifers. Well put together to. Whatever you do don't sell. They'll make quality cows. Have you got them bulled already?

    I'm fairly sure they've all lost their virginity but whether they hold is another story.

    340. He was a small calf off a limo heifer. Hopefully he'll make 3 times that now.

    Nice looking calf. What's the dam by?
    Was it the sexed semen you used?

    Dam is by Samark Superman, thats why the calf is so red.
    Nah just the regular semen, she had a bull by him the year before, lovely long animal. Opted for TSO this time though.

    You'd nearly expect her to have a set of balls rather than a bag under her!!

    She's just gone 4. She should have calved in febuary but she got a puck and slung the calf. Due now in September again. Time for a some restricted feeding I think!

    Jesus tis, you'll have a job knocking the condition off her before calving time.
    Whatever way she's looking in that pic her head looks to small for her body. Holy god she's some size of a cow. Is she tall?
