Cows are different imo.if a 3rd calver loses a calf, you cull her.keep a heifer in her place but the heifer doesn't hold I've lost out.been better just keeping the 3rd calved 9/10 shed of held to the bull.
There are lots of very lovely female vets at my practice. I still don't want to see them on farm.I had a vet with a nice arse once too
If the living room light is on they call in
We all know the hard work you've put into breeding your ewe flock. What if you were unlucky with a bad bout of toxo and half aborted with no lambs to show for it. Would you sell them even though they're now immune only to replace them with unknown brought in stock or run under stocked for a couple of years until you could build numbers back up. Somethings aren't always straight forward.
I disagree
That's your choice. But they (quite rightly) won't qualify for the sub.
I’ve just sold 2 set on dairy calves for £1300 cost £200 as calves put onto heifers that lost calves
Interesting question. One I hopefully will never have to answer.
Cows with 260 day calving intervals about to be found out.How will it affect all the calves that are all ready a month old when their born ? Well on paper anyhow
Might be the only plus point of it all.How will it affect all the calves that are all ready a month old when their born ? Well on paper anyhow
Cool as. Did you bull the heifers again?
Exactly my choice an I know what I'm doing.ive been doing it long enough.
Chopped one kept the other it’s still not out the woods yet
Had a heifer calve a lovely heifer calf unassisted last month. When I found it the calf was dead with the bag over it's head. Should I cull the heifer?
It's up to you.
