three day old bull calf born a week early

heifer calf born this afternoon on time

the first three calves by the same bull are what i would call big

who needs sleep anyway
this list doesnt include the 12 heifers bought at sales due to calve this month

 

[multi power]

How many on the list to calve this month.? I'm expecting 200 in September

How many on the list to calve this month.? I'm expecting 200 in September

above is junes hols list plus about a dozen bought heifers then there is approx 10 jerseys
julys list is roughly the same in numbers plus we are looking to buy 80odd to calve between now and august
i am more concerned with the big calves , i would rather calve 200 in a month ,big, small or whatever than spend three months on the same amount , i do actually like sleep regardless of the impression i sometimes give

Bloody hell jimmer, I thought your reputation for being hard on all things mechanical was a bit harsh.


Then I saw where you parked your car.(photo 4)..

Well it does say photo diary 2014. He needs to start a new thread for 2016.

i was thinking about this thread the other day , i couldnt decide whether it was better to revitalise this one or put pics on All things dairy , i wouldnt want A T D becoming the jimmer show , and if we all bombarded it with pics of every day things too often it would become like Today at work , and move too fast to keep up with
????
