[QUOTE="Cows 'n grass, post: 538055, member: 1711"] I'm not interested at the moment I'm afraid, we're just taking our bulls (all jersey) out and now just have to try and keep them out of the cows in somewhere else until 1st of May next year. My herd is all spring calving jerseys but longer term I have grand plans to have a smaller autumn calving herd. This herd would essentially be a flying herd made up of all F1 crosses bred from the jersey herd and not calving until they are 29/30 months. I have 1 BF cross in the herd at the moment and some days I think I would quite like a while herd of them [ATTACH=full]62416[/ATTACH] If this plan ever comes together then then autumn F1 herd would probably all come from natural service bulls, probably BF, and would all be put to a blue bull each year with calves sold at a couple of weeks old so I would be looking for a regular supply of good Friesian bulls. Can you tell us anymore about your herd? Production? System? Inputs? From the photos of your cows it looks quite a hard farm How far the wrong side of the Tamar are you? [/QUOTE]
