Seb calf (I think!) sebs so far have been really lovely and stylish, , GTW are strong buggers with loads of width to them, and then the contenders are very black calves, with a touch more grace than the gtw's but with just as much power - contenders are my favourites of the 3

Whatever she is, she's a beaut!

Thankyou, the calves I do have are looking really good, it's why I've been so annoyed about losing them, they come out looking amazing and then keel over! :banghead: :banghead:
I think I'm going to try hutches for the autumn calving cows and see how I get on. If it goes ok, I can then buy more for next spring.
I'll try and get some photos of the others, I am very pleased with how they're looking :)

IBC's can make cheap hutches just to try. If you like them you can consider proper ones for the spring and if you don't, no money lost.
