    Aren't they 10 Times better off out than stuck in a shed.

    I spose, takes a good bit of feeding to keep them going outside though. If you seen them on a wet day they just look miserable.

    They may look miserable but come June they will be 50-60 kg ahead of where they would have been if kept inside. Hopefully il get my replacements out by the end of the month to give them that bit of a drive for April/ may.

    It would be some load if they were silage bales instead of straw.

    High bike, calved inside but out asap. Tag him tomorrow. He is not a bad calf. She usually produces a good calf.

    Latest arrivals. Twin heifers out of second calver, 280days gestation, 32 and 34kgs. Both girls were trying to be born almost at the same time, so had some trouble to get the 1st one out, but luckily everything is now okay and both girls are alive.

    ^^^^^^^^^^
    Should be castrated for acting the gimp like that.
    We'd a lad in doing drainage a few years back and they started messing like that in the field. Auld lad put a stop to it fairly sharpish. Put the stone in with the diggers in the end.

    Nah limo with 25%SH the only reason she's so big is she was suppose to calf at 30 months but slipped so I bulled her again and she calved st 3 yr old. She looks the gear but her calf last year had no power at all. The calf is off my Domino stock bull.
