    Anybody else annoyed with the lack of a suckler cow report for over a year?

    A far more useful report than the Eurostar report

    You can generate a new suckler cow report on the icbf website whenever you want

    The phone apps are limited
    ICBF needs you to use a computer, the phone is more for taking a quick glance

    If your on the phone icbf, there is an option to pick 'desk top' version. That will show more extra bits, like bdgp. Dunno why they can't do it outright on phone without messing like that, but anyway

    Interestingly one of my 2/3 star (varies between both over last 2 years) has now jumped to a 4 star. Looking through her figures to understand why as rarely i have this big of a jump, there has being a massive jump in her milk figures, calving interval and survival. She's not genotyped yet so will be interesting to see if that changes it again under the SCEP.

    My best cow on the farm but worst under Stars with 2, has her calf again this year at 1.5kg a day, good bag of milk (negative under Stars) and calving interval at 366. Strange.

    I’m not the biggest fan of the icbf star rating but if u take an example of one cow of course there is going to be outliers. If you have a herd of 5 star cows ,they will outperform a herd of 1 or 2 star cows.

    I think breeding (matching bull traits to the cow) gives better results. I don’t see the benefit in a 5 star terminal bull over a 3 star terminal either.
