I was just in ferry terminal at holyhead. A few lads from Limerick arrived in looking very sorry for themselves. Going home early from Cheltenham as they lost everything. They were trying to gather the cost of the ferry between them.

Did you offer 4 of them a seat?:p

More so horse boxes! If it's a rockin- don't come a knockin

At a local hunt meet this year - pulled in to see a stationary jeep moving vertically on its axles - was only on closer inspection revealed that it was attached to a horse box with a rather excited horse!

Would I be absolutely totally crackers to put the bull on a heifer to be calving at 21 months? She's a yearling today & in heat for the first time, would still have him for bulling her next time. Easy enough calving % on him, off KZH at 6.3%, dam is CWI at 5.7%.
Heifer herself is a saler off a pb lim, about 330kg.
She's set to go for an outfarm in April where she'll be surrounded by bulls, so i'd like to have some decision in the bull choice unlike the one that's due shortly to a ch :pac:

I'd leave her be. Bull her in 3 months time to a very easy calving bull, circa 3%, and you'll have no worries.

Hard to say without seeing the heifer, is she a framey type or a little butterball? A saler out of a good lm cow, if it was me I'd definitely bull her.

I'd leave her off for longer but it's hard to make a decision without seeing her in the flesh. At 330kg unless she's very storey or your underestimating her then I think she's too light imo. If she's out of a SA nd a LM then she'll probably grow into a big enough cow and I don't think she'd be developed enough for bulling yet.

Lady Haywire · 15-03-2019 7:16pm

Looking at her this evening I'm underweighing her a bit, she's a heifer that looks like she'll grow on a bit but not be overly tall. Nice and wide at the hips though. I suppose what's making me think it'd be handier to catch her in 3 weeks is that she's rather flighty & the holding pen in the outfarm isn't the best. I suppose I could leave her off & after 2 or 3 months, bring the easier calving limo bull by THZ up to her. That's provided the neighbours bulls haven't had a go at her by then

I'm not a fan of injecting where at all possible, think it puts a heifer backwards.

She looks about the same as my red SH heifer and I'm in no hurry to ai her yet. I'd prefer to let her grown on a bit and have her calving down over 2yo and in Spring.

I'm not worried about our bulls CD, I'm worried about the neighbours bulls who are huuuuge. Though I'll know more when the heifer who got caught last summer calves in a months time.

Normally if something weird like that is happening, I'd clear cookies/data etc & restart it. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Worth a try though!

There's an upgrade undergoing testing on one node atm so that error seems to be connected to that testing if you connect to that node, if I'm understanding the notice correctly.
Just going back one page and forward again seems to sort it for me?
