Did she pull through?

nice, but it's not a baz

you are correct. and sadly, the cross with Baz produces progeny which is not as good as the 2 original breeds
they finish ok though

 

[choochter]

ok @thorpe , here you are - this poor little git who has been hard done by and outwintered is actually settling cows now

extremely nice temperament and biddable, a real cool dude

One calf from heifer yesterday and one today. The first one is heifer calf sired by french lim JT out of 75% lim heifer, 286 days gestation, slight assistance with ropes; second is bazadaise sired bull calf out of bazadaise cross heifer, 287 days gestation, unassisted.

How many Gascon's do you have & what are they like? @choochter.
There used to be someone else up your way had a herd a few some years back, always thought they'd be an interesting breed for a Scottish hill.

Just 2 pure, this one and her mother, and 3 Gas/Baz crosses.
Interestingly, I never have to treat them in the winter for lice and mites, whereas I have to treat some of the Bazs.
These ones are lovely cattle, nice temperaments and no trouble calving.

I think she's robbed him, but can't work out from who just yet. Why do these things never happen in the morning?

Maybe she just supports diversity & inclusion

Once heard a story. Robert Bakewell summonded Thomas Bewick, the Northumberland artist & engraver to draw a favourite animal
Bewick set to, then Bakewell came over.
Draw it with shorter legs, deeper body instructs Bakewell.
Bewick insisted he drew what was in front of him.
Words were exchanged, Bewick went home.

We can assume not all artists were not as honest as Bewick

She's the perfect sheep really, whether you like singles, twins, triplets, black or white lambs she has something for everyone.

Couldn't find any other ewe, she was huge before lambing so I think they're all hers.

They only painted their best stock. Phoebe looks a useful sort. She's be honoured!

We had a black ewe have two black lambs and one white one this year, we called him Steve white.

Yes, and out with the rest of the family.
What a difference a bit of sunshine makes

Rams looking well now.

mix of stock rams and shearling rams, shearlings to sell this season. Shearlings are Lleyn and Aberfield SR cross Lleyn.
