[QUOTE="waihou, post: 1045113, member: 6511"] Thanks for the comments! Sorry to say the old black cow will probably have to go once she rears this calf as we have some nice looking heifers coming along, and you can't keep them all for ever! She had mastitis a couple of years ago and though we cleared it up quickly with one treatment I think that quarter is now dry. She still managed to wean a 340kg bull calf at 228days last year. Yes, this lot of calves are all by Everest, son of the Tasmanian bull Woodbourn Warrior B48. Everest has been used on his breeders yearlings before we bought him in partnership with another stud, so he now has 82 recorded calves, without the current crop now being born on two properties, so we have confidence in his EPD's. His birthweight and calving ease figures are great and Milk figures very good indeed (+9 to a breed average of +3) He is a good match for our big framed high BW and low milk cows! Going to try a bit of line breeding this year and put a son over a few of his daughters! He is now a 4 year old at the end of September (and weighed 1055kgs -is that about 2325lbs? )in paddock condition in March [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SUEC/bth_EverestatCarters.jpg?t=1376091084[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SUEC/bth_IMG_1237.jpg[/img] Our first calves from him are now yearlings and shaping up to be nice animals. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SUEC/bth_IMG_1709.jpg?t=1376156848[/img] We showed this heifer by Everest, photographed just this morning, as a calf before she was weaned, 3 shows x 3 first placings and not against MG's, up against the big girls!
