Serve everything to friesianI'm trying to build numbers so need more heifer calves than I would if I was up to number, hence 2 servings of Friesian instead of one

Thanks, would save some time swapping from bucket to grab, but would want to try one for a few days first ideallyGreat for carrying silage round yard or handling maize as you drop nothing, but hard to get a full bucket with grass as they take a lot more to push in to face. We only have a 90 hp telehandler may be different with a bigger machine.
SG Herefords are available here as Shimpton Hill, but calves are poor quality and not that much shorter, calves in NZ would be going as Bobby's, don't think many people still use them here now.
Another shed?View attachment 1029593
Feels like real spring has finally sprung here today.
Last whiffing of n being dribbled onto silage ground to eak out the growth today
Foliar feeding and dock spray some later silage ground tomorrow.
Accidentally in frameAnother shed?
Not a lot of choice when tb ravages everythingAnd breed some crap?
If your building herd numbers with no or little money put everything to dairy rather than a beef calf which is gonna get sold for pocket moneyAnd breed some crap?
Was just going to comment the same, done exactly that hereIf your building herd numbers with no or little money put everything to dairy rather than a beef calf which is gonna get sold for pocket money
When you get numbers where you want them then you can pick and choose your best semen for your best cowsWas just going to comment the same, done exactly that here

All this mob are sired by LIC Hereford, think they will leave as much or margin as a heavy corn fed continental.Ah fat fingers , Shrimpton Hill
We used shrimpton hill on the tail ender generally calved between 5-7 days early and calves sold for between 300-350 at 6wks old, very easy calving as well. Just shows everyone’s cows are different I spose.SG Herefords are available here as Shimpton Hill, but calves are poor quality and not that much shorter, calves in NZ would be going as Bobby's, don't think many people still use them here now.
We've used Netherhall bulls for five year (flying herd here) calves 10 days earlier, calf easy best bulls £400 at sedgemoor and all heifers sold off farm, unfortunately down with tb and having to start a waiting list for when we go clear in June, as we're supplying hill farms with replacements were shrimpton hill aren't for breeding.We used shrimpton hill on the tail ender generally calved between 5-7 days early and calves sold for between 300-350 at 6wks old, very easy calving as well.
