Funny isn't it. I used to be a 'pedigree' breeder and rejoiced in seeing fields of similar coloured cattle. Now I've grown up, it just doesn't look right. In fact I now seem to look at the grass and the 'mob' before the individuals.I don't like mobs of all the same colour, don't know why but I just don't! Makes it easier to nickname them, like young Julian there
I agree. When buying a bull, I always start off thinking a nice roan Shorthorn is what I'm after, then end up with some other colour, or a Hereford or Angus for hybrid vigour and I end up with a kaleidoscope herd. It makes paternity easier to guess and, as you say, ends up looking right.Funny isn't it. I used to be a 'pedigree' breeder and rejoiced in seeing fields of similar coloured cattle.

Even so, all of our cattle do have names.I agree.

How did THAT happen?Now I've grown up, it just doesn't look right. In fact I now seem to look at the grass and the 'mob' before the individuals.
That reminds me, I need to make a list of J names for this year.
If you don’t mind me asking, presumably you can only sell carbon credits if you can demonstrate that your business is carbon negative? Does the carbon audit factor in fuel use, bought fertiliser (if used), and machinery purchases? I just read that burning a litre of diesel releases 2.7kg of co2, of which 27% is carbon. Therefore using 1,370 litres of diesel would release approximately 1 ton of carbon, roughly equal to that sequestered by 2 acres of permanent pasture in a year.
What the heck system are you on that you’re at G?my misses does all this. We’re on G this season
In fact this reminds I need to get them registered before my time is up

I don’t know about that our climate change commission has suggested we can reduce our methane emissions by 10% if we feed our stock less......but then the chairman did say this about our worlds lowest emission dairy industry “well it’s bit like been a good whaler it doesn’t mean it’s right. Oh dear...........In practice thé whole thing was just Silly. You plant a trèe you stock x, you have permenant pasture you stock x. you work an hour with a tractor you émit x, etc.
