What have they had corn wise since weaned out of interest? Also what fed/housed? First winter? Cheers nice heifers btw

For farmers vita rolls from weaning until housing and then Adlib silage to turnout mid/late Feb and then as much grass as they can eat
The little animal in the first picture is a bull calf from this Feb born bunch

Is he not a bit small for a sweeper bull

There in calf
Baby bulls are there so there separated from the baby heifers
It's surprising how fast calves mature

Always liked the look of that bull. Never used him because they didn’t bring him over here initially because of his milk speed I think.

Better than the calves this year
They seem to have been hit with cocci (even though the vets couldn't find it in samples rhey tested) and half of them look good the other half look bad
