Re: Local daughter pictures

Bosside Ruben daughter group that came third in the progeny section of a local herd competition held this week. Tulip from HG took first place, Timlynn Adam second, but by that stage of the afternoon it was pouring with rain so I left my camera in the vehicle.

Re: Local daughter pictures

The top two Potters are very similar aren't they. I just seem to get bulls here!

"Wringing wet Boss daughter, now in 2nd lact, peaked at 64kgs in her first. " - on 2x a day milking, grass and parlour supplementation?

No, she was on a partial TMR in her first lactation: pasture during the day, bunker at night. They have since changed to a pure pasture and supplements system. (I've seen many cows peak in the fifties just on pasture, maize silage and supplements.)

Great uddered Potter daughter entered in a first calver group in a big herd competion held annually on our west coast. A third calf Skip was voted cow of the day, but evidently the Boss Iron daughters held the day carrying two farms to second and third place in the herd competition.

Took this photo last week. Fourth lactation Sailor daughter of mine making 48 kgs a day. I used Sailor quite early and ended up with three daughters, six years old now all three are in their fourth lactatation. Bull has done very well locally and still sells.

Now I see why some cows in South Africa have their tails docked.

Re: Local daughter pictures

Any docked tail cows in photos I have posted on cowtalk were taken in the USA. There is no tail docking locally. Herd is on twenty fours ryegrass at the moment, not much fun if you have excitable cows and are a milker in a narrow swingover pit. Sailors of course do not startle, take life in their stride and hence last longer. emoticon

The Oman is making 34 kgs a day and yes the Advent is her first calf.

Advent calves have impressed me where ever I see them, but I take that with a pinch of salt, I thought Derry calves were the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Re: Local daughter pictures


  Looks a decent enough young cow everything is in the right place for her to grow on and develop into a long lasting profitable dairy cow.

I wouldnt turn her away from the yard if she broke over the neighbours fence either!
She's going to be around for a while. She is great in the area that most Omans fall down.

That is one of the better uddered Omans I have seen. I bet she continues to improve 2nd and 3rd calf. Certainly would love to have her in my barn.

Feed is gong to be short for us this winter and we are going to be cutting from the bottom this week. None of the cows that are leaving look like that.

My fat Terrason arrogantly says "I am taller, longer, have a better udder, and made 13,000 in 290 days." I cut her some slack because she had a pair of dead twin bulls at calving and nearly croaked. Now she is fat and 50 days pregnant, milking 25lbs. Meanwhile, my short, nobby Wizard daughters are kicking the crap out of their contemporaries. They are small in stature and short bodied. Yet they have good udders and are efficient.

When feed supplies are short, and milk price is falling, decisions aren't based on pretty.

Buckeye, what is the reason for your feed shortage?

I have to say I would be happy to milk that Oman in our herd.

Re: Local daughter pictures

Why don't you like that O-man, Posal? If she looks like that, milks OK, survives and gets in calf, 99.9% of dairymen would be delighted with a cow like that - even though she would never win a show.

Its funny you say that about Wizard Buckeye. When I first started calving our Wizards in as two year olds I hated the bull with a passion. Now that they are second and third lactation I have gained alot of respect for the bull and have even thought about using some sexed semen by him.

Too much rain through July 15, none after.

Cows are still out on the dry lot on November 9th. Normally they are in by the last week in October.

Posal, I am stunted you dont like this oman, This maybe what the future of holstein breeding is like. We got to keep the options open.

Being able to breed commercially viable animals is the future of the Holstein breed.

I for one would be delighted to have that Oman in my herd if she was a productive and healthy animal.
