Personally prefer the black ones with a white flash but each to their own

When will farmers get over the fact is doesn't matter what bloody colour it is. What matters is how easily it is born, how quickly it grows, how fast it can finish etc......

Quite agree, but, when there is a market demand for a colour, ie, white blue bulls to go on dairy cows for "correct" coloured calves, then sometimes it pays to supply that demand!

If you look into it further then it makes a lot of sense.

 

[M-J-G]

A white blue eh? Brilliant, only a farmer can get away with such self contradiction.

Thats what you want!

I'm unsure if you are agreeing with me or not!

If costed properly it is very hard to make money at beef production. At least be as efficient as you can. I love to see 40kg calves spat out - rather than 80kg calves cut out.

Any significant numbers of calves that are needing cut out or that are anywhere close to 80kg are a sign of either the wrong genetics or poor management.

yea she calved him in a few minutes on her own no problems,
Amazing when I was told by a couple of forum members that a ped blue couldn't be calved without a knife FFS
