Stock Pictures

1. I do like getting out on Christmas morning looking after the cattle, its probably the novelty of doing a few hours work on a day when most other people aren’t working.
   Best wishes to all F4F members.

On a day like today, you can't beat the small square bale of hay.
You can eat it , stand on it, or lie on it :scratchhead:

16 month old shorthorns that we will finish and slaughter at the back end. First calf of the year - simmental off a shorthorn x limousin heifer. Surely a replacement in the making.

Wasn’t Even 10 seconds in the shed and the charolais calved right onfront of me, not bad for a first time fullbred heifer. The Calf even started walking around 1 hour after been calved on straw :Thumbp2:

• I left the yearlings out yesterday. Couldn’t sell them at the price I was being offered. Will probably have to buy some silage because I won’t be able to cut much with the extra stock around. Will try and hold onto them till the end of august or so. Might regret not selling them yet, time will tell.

Buyer confidence is on the floor at moment with whats going on in the factories. Hopefully for all our sakes, they will cop on soon and offer a half decent price for finished stock. Its just an absolute disgrace whats being offered for prime stock right now

The cows would be a mix between Sim.x and Ch.x and by Charolais bulls.

Time now ladies and gents, have yi's no homes to go too.
That's it for 2020
I know some members have an interest in beef calves off dairy cows.
This lad kept me out of the scratcher last night. Bull calf

This one, a heifer was born Saturday morning . Mammy is a MOX 13 years old, her 11th calf. I'm going to retire her, to rear the two calves, if she's agreeable.
