    Curly question on early insemination.

    Has anyone knowingly inseminated a cow the day before they are due to come into heat. I have a hiefer due on sunday but will be away on family duties all day, toying with the idea of inseminating really late saturday night.

    $100,000 cow.

    I know speckle park cattle have taken off in a big way in Australia but $100,000 for a cow is quite unbelievable, especially not being a dairy breed. https://www.theland.com.au/story/7710192/speckle-park-female-to-world-first-100000-top-at-scone/?cs=5742

    Shane Warne R.I.P.

    Anyone who knows anything about cricket would know Shane Warne, absolute freak of a player. Dead at 52 from a heart attack, huge shock. We were already sad at Rod Marsh passing, a legend of the game but this is a big shock. For those who never heard of him, when he first came onto the...

    Correlation to show of blood after heat.

I have a cow who had a show of blood four days after standing heat and i usually notice it one or two days. My question is, does this mean she would be late with ovulation and i would be...

    Best weaning age.

    Wondering if anyone has thoughts on what effects weaning at different ages makes on the calf. I guess like me most of you wean at six months. I have had to wean at down to a few weeks on occasions and found that to really stunt them for a while but no ongoing issues as they mature. What I'm keen...

    How is your pasture situation Ken?

    Just wondering how you are getting on Ken, seeing fires floods and drought all at the same time from your side of the island. The eastern states buyers are out in force buying lightweight cows and heifers from the saleyards around here in the west.
