i can also vouch for Genus easy calving fertility plus begian blue, we've had really easy calvings from it.
Been there it’s bloody depressingShafted a Few cows, used the jack way more than ever before, just got in actually from a date with Jack.
2 to 3 days over
Calves too heavy to lift in the trailer or I'm getting weaker.
Genus Fertility +, easy calver. Pop out like peas.
Next-doors was using fert plus , now switched to Angus, would be on big friesian cows too.i can also vouch for Genus easy calving fertility plus begian blue, we've had really easy calvings from it.
There are different fertility plus packages available, easy calver is one, another is for premium calves, I value my cows too highly to use the latter.Next-doors was using fert plus , now switched to Angus, would be on big friesian cows too.
They would use the cheapest , only 35/40 cow ayc herd, but they had switched away from limousin because of calving problemsThere are different fertility plus packages available, easy calver is one, another is for premium calves, I value my cows too highly to use the latter.
That’s a nice Boulder you have thereAfter a big run of bull calves, the girls are fighting back.

It is not just the bull which contributes to calf size. Excess grass at the wrong time has also made a difference.Shafted a Few cows, used the jack way more than ever before, just got in actually from a date with Jack.

No, their the new walls for the old hay shed. But am struggling to get contractors in. Everyone is flat out and no one can give me a date when they can get hereAre the panels your new slurry store on the way?
Of course that is correct.It is not just the bull which contributes to calf size. Excess grass at the wrong time has also made a difference.
It gives you wriggle roomOf course that is correct.
By using angus it will allow me to be a sub standard farmer and get the results I desire tho
I thought you bought a team of 12 hereford bulls not so long ago?Of course that is correct.

We had the same. White heifer I wrote on her health card "poor" when she calved first time. Did not serve her to Fr as she looked like she would be gone in 2. Had an udder like a dangling glove by the time she calved for the 3rd time. Same size udder in the same place when calved for the 13th time.This is a funny cow, ugly in ever way, she is now 13 years old. My wife and I purchased her, as a runt in a group of youngstock when we first started out. She was kind of thrown into the group! Total nut case as a heifer, used to jump the front parlour gate, and any gates TB testing. Now many years later quiet as a lamb and by far the most profitable out the 36 we got in the group. Funny how life works out!View attachment 987293
