Who have you got in the tank on the friesian side of things?
You could start serving 5 days earlier ?!On the issue of BB semen on crossbreed, we used Gaberal last year and calved with very few difficulties. Understand he doesn't throw the shapiest of calves but they were a god compromise and worth more than anything else. All on 2nd calves.
Probably a bit of work with a calculator to see if going 5 days or so over has more negative impact than the calf price. Don't think so but we'll see how calving interval looks.
photos taken at 2 or 3 days old.

Indeed! We're earlier this year anyway so will be difficult to say. But based on some simple maths, I think the difference in calf price is more than the lost 5 days anyway (Am I allowed to say that as a spring calver?!). It's just the cumulative 5 days over say 5 years and how many cows lost from block which could be the issue.You could start serving 5 days earlier ?!
Nothing atm, got some patriot arriving shortly I'm hoping (convrntional), but used gtw, and contender fairly heavily this year, then some seb and patriot as well and a couple of straws of samson, judd, elijah, jingle and dungannonCurrently brilliant and Jefferies. You?
You loose that one in your calving paddock for 3 weeks?

How big are your cows ?To continue the crappy calf photo theme.
This year's replacements are averaging 1.2kg.
Or the vet student needed further training on the weigh band

it has to be, doesn't it ? You certainly aren't going to get it any quicker, unless you get some bags, and manhandle in there, which isn't recommended.
