[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 818475, member: 5106"] Here is some info about the breed Dylan. My husbands dad manages one of the top herds in Holland at the castle so they still are very much a "nobility" breed there. Btw I would just about kill to have there calving barn :shock: I agree they are pretty to look at too DC, but I will take my Gelbvieh's instead . The FIL was just walking by a cow with a calf a few years ago and she tossed him 20 feet in the air , he is lucky to be alive and he is with these cows ,day in and day out and they are all very used to him. So I think they have a small disposition problem. ;-) Only have 6 left to calve so almost done, calving season this year will be about 7-8 weeks long I hope. All the girls I AI'd except one, who I still have yet to get to settle to AI ,all did on first service. Had another one born last night at midnight in almost 40 below weather so she spent the night in the shop . Mom was very relieved to get her back and I was relieved she was so happy to see her. :lol2: Hubby was cleared for light duty yesterday . He got his surgical cast removed and a waling cast on . He still cannot put weight on it for 2 more weeks but the surgeon was more than pleased with how it is healing and stitching together. Now I need to look for a heifer bull in the next couple of weeks, Maximus is throwing larger calves than I would like the heifers to have to deal with and if next year we have another record cold winter then birth weights will be up higher again.
