Wasn't sure if you knew these were still on basco @Ducati899 bet they were nice sorts with the uplands breeding

 

[Ducati899]

Ah I'll show dad in a bit [emoji106] here's when we were getting ready to take them to Carlisle to disperse in 96 I'll see if I can find some more pics later

 

[phil the cat]

Wow! They look a nice bunch! The black & whites must look a bit pointy when you're used to seeing that! Yeah ask him if he liked the cow with the young calf from grahams at Carlisle red ladies, we took that home! Thought I'd gone mad price wise but we didnt even make the report on the day!

 

[Ducati899]

Yeah they look a bit different!! If your happy with the price you've never gone mad [emoji6]

She's Hetro polled with hopefully a homo polled daughter so hope @Johngee is right about polled being the next big thing!

The one on the left looks a bit narrow, ahem, easy calving, for me.
Prefer the on on the right.
Health status?

We're in a yearly Tb testing area. Always been clear and last test was December
Bvd accredited
Johnes level 3. Though all the pedigrees are from level 1 herds we're just testing & culling in the commercial herd so hopefully level 2 next year.

Thanks, her mother is blue x lim...so 3/4 lim 1/4 blue....not weighed her yet but I'd reckon around 580 kg

 

[johnspeehs]

Ahh ok, the wee bit of blue puts a great end on them, I was gonna say she looked 600 kilos but didn't want to embarrass myself if I was 100kgs out , real credit to you, properly fed hfr.

I weighed some heifers of similar size today and they were 580 so I'm only guessing...she'll get weighed next week
