I think cow 800 has a dislike for me !
She has the whole yard to take a 5h1t on, no she backs up to the loadall and does her business in/over the door handle

Going to scan these next week, 57. They ran with 3-4 bulls for 6 weeks, is it fair to sell any empty as bulling heifers? If vet scan says all fine just empty?
Yep, would be fine to sell out of block, just check for freemartins

First group of youngsters out today, will clean shed tomorrow incase they need to come in for shelter but hopefully strong enough to motor through
Tomorrow's feed. Was a decent chunk of plantain in this. All gone now. Rye grass and some clover remain. Will stitch some more herbs in this year for sam3. 
Need this weather to settle. Plenty to go at.

How long ago was I drilled? I've got some sown 5 year's ago and plantain seems to be taking over.Tomorrow's feed. Was a decent chunk of plantain in this. All gone now. Rye grass and some clover remain. Will stitch some more herbs in this year for sam3.

2019 I think. May have been 2020
Dang 1kg a day is our bread and butter. 400kg for 13 month service. Won't lie we still get ones that don't make that. In those cases settle for 350kg at first service with them.

300 kgs for first service here at 15months is the minimum requirement.

You seem to do well enough without hitting a kg a day
@lazy farmer for a 30kg birthweight, 270kg growth in 15 x 30= 450 days is 0.6kg a day average. 320kg growth is 0.7kg a day average. I don't see anything concerning, they will go out on grass post weaning and probably hit 0.8kg + with ease. Excellent looking setup.

I used to suffer at first housing and only seemed to grow at .4 a day so used to make the most of the conversion efficiency pre weaning knowing I’d have the problem later on ,to make sure I’d hit 300 plus at bulling
