[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1315933, member: 19683"] All elder heifers have calved without any assistance. Had 4 bull calves and 5 heifers. It was a relief after last year when from 6 heifers had two dead big heifer calves and one uterine prolapse. Calves from both heifers groups were sired by the same Limo bull. Heifers are sired by homebred crossbred bull. Here is an old topic about him. :) [url]http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=81118[/url] Took some photos of younger heifers. This one is AI Angus sired out of AngusxSalersx 1st calver. She's 26 months old. Actually don't know who she's incalf by. There are two possibilities. Will be clear when she calves. If she got incalf by her half brother Angusx bull, she'll calve in June, and if she got incalf by stock Limo bull, she'll calve in August. She should be ~1350-1400lbs now.
