Soooo, here is an update on the heifers. The soon to be second calvers are due starting in March. The three which calved first, are all incalf by the stock bull and due in March. The black heifer is incalf by AI and due in May. The pure one will be brought to the spring calving, so her only job now is to raise her own calf.
However, good news are that younger heifers will start to calf in April. The first one is due on the 10th of April, another two days later and the third two days after the previous one. It sure was hard to make a couple individuals to settle. One heifer had very long heat, so you needed to wait some extra time before her AI. She will be the latest calver from all, but I'm glad I finally caught her. Did her last AI just with her nose in the meal bucket, no crush, no ropes just in a plain field and a bucket.
Don't have the newest their photos, but have some taken in the last two months.
And here are some pics of the bulls they are incalf to!
The first- very easy calving limousine bull. Two bluex heifers, angusxblue and smallest yellow heifer got him. Gave him for the black first calver too.
Charolais bull- gave him only to the biggest white charolais cross heifer. She's the first heifer due this year.
Another limousine bull. Only two heifers incalf to him- light yellow charxlimx heifer and simmental cross heifer. Several cows are incalf to him too.
Charolais bull- used him on the heifer with long heat- black horned one.
And the last is Parthenaise bull. Two heifers should be incalf to him. He doesn't look anything special himself, but we already had his calves and they were pretty easily born and had nice shape with growth.
P. S. Still not finding time to crop screenshots.
