Jaysus, he'll be put off cows for life. Stick him in a field with a bullock and see if he does a Benji on it

Hard luck. Had a bull that "broke" his rod and he never came right. After a few days (when the swelling went down) he was able to retract it but he never worked after. His rod was permanently bent and the front part (1/3 from the tip) was wobbly.

At this stage I'm not really bothered to be honest. Be a lot worse if it happened to the other bull.

LC I read that quickly and thought it read "if it happened to me" was beginning to wonder what you get up to in your spare time :D

I thought he'd be a fortnight old at least. Do you only keep parts.

How do you find the parts? Are they quiet? Have they plenty of milk?

Tyson Lannister

I have 4 pedigree mixed in with the commercials. I find them very quiet, but I bought the first two off a pedigree breeder that wouldn't raise his voice to his cattle so maybe I got a good start on that front. They have plenty milk as you can see by the cow in the pic.

Other side of the coin from my previous post, this is an aubrac heifer calf out of an angus x fr cow, born in March.

Big and all as the country is you have to stand on my head!

Have two nice Limox heifers born recently. One is out of Charx heifer, another from the 2nd calver.



Sold two bulls to the meat factory. One was 20mo Limox out of BBxdairy cow. 2nd was younger bull's sire- purebred 4,5yo Limousine bull. Younger bull had 65,5% kill-out, his sire - 65,8% kill-out.

Just thought people might be interested - Same part calf pictured earlier at 1 day old, now 11 days.

Limestone Cowboy

The last one of the year and the luckiest to be alive after the dragging he got trying to pull him. Great to see him over the hump.

He's a red belgian blue out of SFL, has replacement stars falling out his ears so it's a pity he has a couple of dingle danglies under him He wasn't in the mood for photos and ran off down the hill and I wasn't arsed walking after him!
