I currently graze a few sucklers on a SSSI site only giving additional mineral blocks such as high magnesium etc. Bring cows in to calf feeding adlib hay and straw along with pre Calver mineral licks and salt blocks. We give a general pour on for worms etc before turning out. Am I on the right...

Hi all, We have several Hereford cross Fresian heifers looking to bull along with our old redpoll cows. I'm looking for an Aberdeen Angus young bull locally if anyone can help? We have been offered a blonde bull but I'm concerned about potential calving problems. Any thoughts?

Just bought some Hereford x Holstein heifer calves. I was hoping to keep them for sucklers? Has anyone any experience of the cross and are they worth it? What do you recommend putting over them? Many thanks. Shane.

Thank you guys, I really appreciate your responses. I'll try to answer the points raised. I live near the land run by Natural England, Thorne moors North of Doncaster. Currently I have a small (10) herd of pedigree redpoll hence the question regarding suitability for continental crossing. Was...

I have been offered 100 acres of rough grazing on a conservation site. Would it be viable to start a suckler herd of Red Poll cattle and cross them with a continental bull? I don't have to pay for the land and I intend to out winter them. There are a few good shelters. I have a flock of 50 texel...
