@cattow 2 Chad daughtersWhats the breeding? They look good heifers
Nice looking leyBranded heifers then moved to a new bit
What type of clover is it?Branded heifers then moved to a new bit
Is it mainly a summer based clover? Could be a white clover variety? That pic I posted in the fert vs fallow thread is a balansa clover. I've also got subterranean and Persian clover in. All are annuals.What type of clover is it?
No idea they where red clover at one point but that seemed to die out and what’s come back has a smaller leaf than what was originally drilled a few years ago
Never sync. Start serving 1 November to natural heat, bring them in around 3 weeks earlier, collar them, rumen magnets, IBR booster, worm, so they will be in in a couple of weeks.I mentioned syncing heifers the other day at grass and it sounds like it’s a bad idea in the autumn, would need to be bringing them in shortly to settle them down before we AI them, but it seems a shame when there is so much grass about, what do others do for autumn calving?
Great work, what do you feed them?Never sync. Start serving 1 November to natural heat, bring them in around 3 weeks earlier, collar them, rumen magnets, IBR booster, worm, so they will be in in a couple of weeks.
1 serve to sexed semen and then put the bull in. The mob just calved, 100% submission rate, 1 barren, (sold in the summer) and 58% conception to first serve.
we are trying balsana clover, hoping it will come earlier than the white, this is in grazing. I was under the impression it was perennial, time will tell. Also meant to produce more N, as well.Is it mainly a summer based clover? Could be a white clover variety? That pic I posted in the fert vs fallow thread is a balansa clover.

bale silage and 1 kg dairy cake. At grass prior to that they are on 1kg cake too so they are a good size for serving to calve at 23-24 months.Great work, what do you feed them?
Who made the shed, see you have galvanised valley gutter?That's the old farm on the dairy unit. The conversion potential of the stone barns is a big part of why I got this lovely pair this spring.

Not quite as pretty as a stone courtyard but a thousand times more useful.
Most farms around here have a very similar set of stone barns all built when they were part of the same estate in the 1800's
