It is always interesting when you AI cows to see what you get and which ones take.  It soon became apparent that of the three girls AI'd last year only one has taken.  Bugger!!  KP Broadway Babe was inseminated with Maclee Tabasco semen and gave birth to a large bull calf which both Mark & I had to assist her with.  I did not think she would struggle as it was her fourth calf, but we monitored her closely anyway.  Sadly he has white on his scrotum and also a dot on his chest, plus is horned,so will not be registerable, a real shame as he is structurally very nice at this early stage.

KP Diamond Cut, Classic Crystal and Esprit were run with Rawlings Blueprint as a back-up and two of the three have calved in the last few days, two polled red bulls.  A decision will be made on their future as they grow.

We have just completed the fourth tie up of our heifers which were weaned a couple of weeks ago.  They are all progressing really well as you can see from the picture below.  Some still need more practice walking, but overall we are very happy with their progress.

I have just included the first pictures of our progress on the Dexter Barnstay page.  Check it out!!
