[QUOTE="JSmith, post: 6883864, member: 144303"] Thanks for the replies, currently calving 120 Beef shorthorn cows to BSH bull, an either put first timers to a simx bull for easy calving or a lim! Had a very bad experience calving heifers to an Angus bull a few years ago and it totally put me off them which is a shame because I do like the off spring off that cross as my old man used to breed them an keep the slate grey heifers! Out of twenty five heifer put to the Angus had to assist over half of them which is totally out of character for the BSH which is why I ended up with a little simx bull an he has left lovely calves which are up an sucking in minutes an very saleable! I kept some heifers back because I liked the look of them just to see how they go an was gonna put the lim on them but that leaves an opening for another bull an the stabiliser was offered up when a friend went buying cattle privately! Thought I’d ask TFF as can’t remember seeing any in the flesh myself, glad I did because as we sell all the calves store through market in one go mainly to repeat customers don’t want to turn up with something unsaleable thrown on the end of the catalogue! Like the sound of the easy calving an get up an go of the calves mind but maybe I should just get another shorthorn as you get all that with them! Am I trying to fix something that isn’t broken [/QUOTE]
