I'm driving foward, wasn't brushing too hard, just clearing up any loose.

We don't feed maize but hear alot of anecdotal evidence of better preg rates conception rates etc when maize starch has become more digestible after Xmas etc. We always noticed a dip in fertility at grass, think it's just to inconsistent
Top job though [emoji122]

Thought i’d better turn out before the grass got too strong.
That's a cracking looking beef cow.
My few Angus x milkers seem to be looking after them selves more than me at the moment.

That’s a proper cow!
Just let them get nice and porky and off down the road just before you start calving. That’s what I doo seem to work well. Gives you a hit of income over the leaner months when the others are dry.

Not beefy enough for me it seems. Moving more towards Fleckvieh than Montbeliarde as my strength breed. I do like a well fleshed cow.

Do your angus crosses milk at all? Had a semen mix up apparently and calved in some angus crossed with grass rat. They don't milk for sh!t. Maybe need to be crossed with Holstein?
Couldn't tell you yield, but they have always bagged up with some. Tough little critters.

Nice to see stock out but a shame to mess up your nice stripy grass

Lovely day when finishing fence checking and repairs this morning.
Not too impressed at finding this in one hedge bottom
and this on the opposite side of the same bloody field!
Didn't have a chance to take a pic when we turned them out as they were out of the starting blocks like it was the Grand National and we were too busy running after them. Lucky they didn't try any fences but correctly ran through the first field to the next one, they did baulk at the water (in the gateway - it was flooded last week) and turned back but we managed to get them in.
Snuck down later to check all was well without disturbing them. 22 in calf heifers, thank God we haven't got them to bed down any more Just so glad to get something out at last!

Only rolled it because the holding pen is in the wood in between 2 fields , and last back end when we fetched the heifers home , I left a few ruts across the field with the trailer .
