Have 4 purebred saler cows at the moment and 2 yearling heiffers. 15 cows and heiffers that are salers cross. They are not very common in my country. They are easy to keep and are moneymakers because they are cheap in maintenance. Do not understand why there are not more farmers who have them.

calves are sired blonde or sim, cows are salers or mixes of saler, belgianbleu, sim and herf.

Found my saler bullcalf dead in the pasture. The day before he was running and playing with the other calves. 3 weeks old had a bad start it was raining for days when he was born. Put him and his mom in a barn for a few days and turn them out in some nice weather. Had a litle scours, but not enough to worry. Was growing like cabage......

That is the pits dutchcowboy! I wonder what happened to him........
Sorry to hear.

Je koein heel goed uitzien!

 

[dutchcowboy]

It rained the whole night before I found him in the morning. More than 60mm of rain in one night, a lot of thunder and lightning. I'm sure he wasn't hit by the lighting

Hi Jeroen,

Where are you in the Netherlands? I lived and raced bicycles in based out of Elden (near Arnhem) in the 80s. We have wonderful friends in the Netherlands...it is a great country!! Also, your cows are awesome, thanks for sharing!

Hi,

I live in Drenthe, thats in the northern part of the netherlands.
Think its about 130 km from Arnhem, easy to do for you, on a racingbike in the 80's !
