[QUOTE="waihou, post: 1559639, member: 6511"] Just some photos (I hope) of a few of our small herd. Now it is February our calves are 5 to 6 months old and enjoying plenty of grass and milk. Unlike last summer when we had a drought from November to March and had to wean early and feed out all our winter supplies of hay and silage. Pictured is Nelson at 195 days of age- he weighed 305 kgs (672lbs) at 188 days. Quite pleasing for a 2 year old heifers first calf. [url=https://postimg.cc/2q2PHtPn][img]https://i.postimg.cc/2q2PHtPn/2019-02-12-17-13-16.jpg[/img][/url] His sire is Chequers Magnum pictured here at 2 1/2 years old this week. This sire is by a Tasmanian bull Woodbourn Warrior A69. [url=https://postimg.cc/68dKhYWh][img]https://i.postimg.cc/68dKhYWh/51781103-284123508933649-5114718021268537344-n.jpg[/img][/url] A smaller chunkier bull than we usually have, but with exceptional depth plus low birthweight, excellent milk and high EMA figures- hoping to see the figures come true in his progeny! As some of our bigger cows are now pushing 800kgs over 1700lbs we hope to modify the frame and improve the carcase quality! This is a Magnum daughter, born 13 August and whose figures indicate she should have growth, EMA and marbling but she is out of one of our more moderate framed cows.
