Thank you :). Yes, she was orphaned when she was a few hours old. She is lacking nothing, grass, lots of ration, hay in the evening and access to fresh water at all times. Got lots of compliments from local farmers :)!

She will be 3 months tomorrow and is thriving! I am weaning her slowly and she eats grass, ration etc. What ya all think?

Good advice, she is eating it now after I stuffed some in her mouth after the bottle. She loves it now.

I got a copy of the sire's pedigree and it says at the top next to his name *Genetic Merit (BLUP) - Class 1*. Can someone enlighten me please? Thank you!

I've never seen a *speckled* Shorthorn before. They are all solid red, white or red roan around here.

Yep, there is no in-between, either sleeping or running around like a Greyhound on Speed. Will she ever slow down??

She's been with me for two weeks and she seems to be thriving, very hard to take a pic of her standing still! Kangaroo lose in East Galway ;). What ya think?

Lol, no, she only wore it during downpours for the first two days, she is growing very fast and is sturdier now so I don't use it anymore. Thanks for the tip!!

Dwarfism in dogs is genetic and I was very surprised to read an article in the local farmer journal about incidents of dwarfism in severals herds in Connemara and that is was attributed to "feeding bad silage at a certain stage during pregnancy". It sounded right dodgy to me. Can anyone point...

I've noticed the past two days that my calf has what looks like dandruff on her shoulder. It seem localised, on top of her shoulder and along the spine a bit. She has no parasites and I am hoping she isn't lacking anything? She get her milk and munches a wee bit of ration every day which I keep...

Thanks guys, I am as proud as punch of Harry. Four vets told me to put him down. But his eyes were still shiny and he had will to live. So I tackled it slowly with lice treatment, then feeding him up slowly, worm treatment etc. He has a temperament to die for - even if I need a stepladder to get...

Lol, Angus Cowman, it's not me riding Harry, it's one of my volunteers. I am old fashioned, I don't wear black eggshells on my head :). Harry is massive at 17.2hh and my treeless endurance saddle is VERY comfy, stamp-sized or not :cboy:
