[QUOTE="gbowman, post: 96079, member: 1859"] mike I am ever so pleased with the progress of your calf and it seems now you are over the worst.. I must comment on some of the replies you recieved. I keep highlanders. they are a thouroughbred race each cow having its pedigree. in england cattle must be slaughtered before 30 months to be allowed to enter the food chain highlanders are very slow growing generally too small at this age to be commercial.although many steers are fattened and sold and sort after becuse of their meat quality because of their size it is advizable only to put them with the bull at 3 years - after their sell by date so whats the point well highland bulls are excellent for cross breeding and and command premium prices at specialised sales to feed this demand highland cows also bring good returns from 2 to 5 times a pure commercial breed I think large commercial breeders should not scoff at the smallholder after major catastrophes like foot and mouth anthrax restocking has to start somewhere ad the pampered 'pets' is as good a place as any.
