Diesel should do alright, he has some big boots to fill he is going to be compared to our other dog Rocky. The red/black are Jersey x Angus & were in our dairy herd until they got too old for milking, than got retired to our farm to raise calves for a few more years yet. The highlands are the...

We breed mostly Angus, we've started selling a couple of bulls as well lately as they the quality that I would breed with. We've just started playing around with Dexters for milking we've used a Jersey bull over the entire herd this year as I didn't want the hassle of running 2 bulls. The cow...

Hi Ken He is a mix of Kelpie & Border Collie, parents don't work but grandparents were bred & worked on a dairy farm. This is a cross that I really like

Took our new pup Diesel out to meet the cows yesterday at 11 weeks old we've not had time to see if he has what it takes to make a working dog, heres a couple of pics don't think we need to worry. I'm there with him as "back up" should one of the cows/ calves become a little too pushy. He...

The most obvious breed would be Angus Rossco is a cross of Lowline Angus(sire) x Angus x Jersey x Friesian (dam). He was bucket raised as his mom had a ship load of milk for just 1 calf so she was in the dairy herd. We have another bull bred pretty much the same way only he is not as well put...

Yeah it was a hard decision to sell, a good idea ? possibly not but we'll live with it. I'm sure the complements would stop once his breeding comes out :cowboy:

Taurus, am going to disagree here have you seen my Highland x Angus?? There's nothing about smaller frame size with my cattle

Thanks for the positive replies guys I really liked Rossco but he ended up liking the neighbours cattle more so we sold him on to a farm with 200 head to keep him busy :) We kept some nice heifers out of him though

That bull looks like he's is just about asleep

Jilleroo its been good not real heavy but enough to soak right in, than a couple of days of sunny weather than the rain again all up over the week & a bit we had over 10" of rain was much needed

The 1st bull we kept from the beef herd This is the 3rd bull we raised & sold We breed our own bulls for the dairy herd the beef herd is a little bit different we don't have the space to raise too many bulls

This is what we woke up to & started driving in not that heavy The lake on the side of the road is normally a paddock flat From This on our way to work To This in 5mins Love all the rain we've been getting This is the creek that runs right through the middle of our place normally very...

Painful as it was to put her down you did the right thing, we did the same with our cow "Mother Mary" she earned her right to die on the farm & we were happy to let her. Its always sad to say goodbye

We have highlanders & have put several in the freezer the last 1 was a 12mth old bull never noticed anything strange with the flavour, texture, taste ect from any other breed that we have done in the past. How was he finished? we grow ours out on grass only no grain feeding at all perhaps it...
