Hi, I put 16 bluefaced Leicester to the tup back early October. 2 of them seemed to hold to tup first time but none since. A shearling tup was used first cycle where 2 held then second cycle where none held. A tup lamb has been used for 3rd cycle but none have held again and all have been...

As above our current team will finish at the end of this season. It’s a mixed bunch of retained calves and they’ve done us well. We bought in 2 Hereford’s last year which have been decent but not many calves born to them. historically we’ve carried on serving even with bulls in as semen is...
