Got one of the bulls from the advert , bshxbb This one was calved from a heifer

im working on the basis that dairy x blue heifers calve down just fine, mine did to hereford, i did have to pull a few but that was because there tight at the back rather then the calves being big, ive always found British blue calves pretty small

yeh, im not sold on lim, i see them go through market and everyone of them has that wild glint in its eyes, 'head up looking for a way out'

ive got a saler bull these heifers are his daughters so need a new blood, he is polled also so best of both worlds :D

You reckon 25% blue in the mix of the calf over a salers heifer would give any trouble? I wouldn’t want to say I’m competent but I can’t see it being an issue, I’d be more concerned if the blue genetics was in the heifer then in the calf .

Fantastic cheers 👍🏻, I’ll give them a ring

looking for a BB X bull to cover salersX heifers, want to add a bit more shape but keep easy calving, if the dam was Saler would be ideal, Hereford or maybe even BSH would be second fiddle.

Been a while since I been on the forum, it’s not all good news though 😬. @Wolds Beef the bull settled in nicely , kids renamed him ‘red lightning’ and he was lovely …. I say ‘was’ because last week he decided to jump a gate and didn’t make it all the way across 😑. We’ve just started...

had a calf born this morning with no eyes , seems a decent little calf, was up and suckling but no eyes inside the sockets . I haven’t had any positive BVD results “yet” so id like to assume that’s not it, I’m going to get the vet to come and test just to make sure; the cow was a Holstein and I...

just an update on how I got on, i bought a collar , put on 2y old salers bull, didn’t work, assumed it must be a faulty collar, sent it back for a new collar, by this time it was winter so bull was in shed with cows and I started getting texts and thought it was working , Out of roughly 70...

i think i stumbled onto your facebook page last night WB, yogi and yeti? If you want to PM me im interested in what didnt sell . thanks (Lincoln)

i wouldnt go as far to say im wasting them, id get milky easy calving cows, they might add some size maybe? and would add hybrid vigour over purebreds

JP1- yes one of the XP type with a bit more backend on it, presumably they lose some calving ease because of it. bluepower- ive no experience with char but they are prone to big calves and difficult calvings? i have seen the yellow X calves though and they do look cracking. if i go down the...

long story short, me and my father used to milk dairycows, were lowland farm, east midlands, we stopped milking for various reasons but rather then sell the herd i retained our britishblueX & herefordX heifers and AI'd the dairycows with sexed stabiliser and salers semen in our last year to give...

Do TY , going to order one & have a go How does the battery in the collar hold up?
