John allen co donegal

I bought four springing heifers who's sire was bred by Mr Allen. Disappointed as first calvers. They're now all fourth calvers,get incalf if you show them a straw, never been hoof trimmed and look forward at them coming into the parlour. If I had a herd of them I'd be very rich.

the fr hfrs we have, disappointing as 1st, but come on in the 2nd.

sold a fr hfr today, looked more beefy, peaked at 18 litres, and not i/c, £2.04 /kg, she was down to 9 litres, and bought a really nice hf 2nd calver, fresh, at £2.10 p/kg, everything goes over the scales at Salisbury. Basically a few pence/kg than killing price.

And the holstein CGQ was quite a strong bull too.

Dam (inch brilliant) and granddam (bradash tournament) of one of my bulls

Granddam had a terrible, terrible calving with twins and I thought she was going to die at one point but pulled through in the end and is milking a decent 35 litres again now

Trough’s getting knackered?

Trough’s getting knackered?

Do you know I nearly put ps ignore the cake on the floor but thought nah no ones gonna take notice of that

My cows have been on a path of destruction. They've banged the feeders that much that the ring of steel the plastic pipes sit on have been ruined so the pipes pop off when the cows bang on the feeders leaving all the cake on the floor. Desperately need to get a guard rail put in front of the feeders. I've got a friend who's good at welding coming on Sunday to give me a hand hopefully

we use extra strong cable ties, instead of relying on the metal, there's a bit of 'give', and easy to replace.
luckily, just found a set of troughs, some of ours getting rather 'elderly'.
