Breeding season, an unfortunate discovery, and a new stock bull



It’s breeding season on the farm, and it’s time to get the cows in for AI and hopefully get them pregnant with next years calf crop 🤞🏻

In this video, I AI a cow and introduce you to my new stock bull as well

I also have an unfortunate discovery with a calf this week

Hope you enjoy the video!

  1. Great video Darragh, cows and calves are a credit to you. Well worth the effort of getting them in for Ai when you have calves like them on the ground. Just mind that Blue 1st calver that got Drumline. He’s breeding great stuff, but just be wary next January when she’s calving that the blue might click with him👍

  2. My rain tank off the house which is 7feet deep , 4 ft wide and 17 feet long was nearly dry last week ,, checked yesterday and it was nearly full,,

    Must have rained some amount

  3. Great informative video Dara, enjoy listening to the knowledge you have about your herd. You have some lovely quite and compact cows. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for all the information.

  4. ICBF don’t think much of Cavelands Jolly, shows how much they know about breeding cattle. Are you in the SCEP scheme?? The cow you Ai’ed was very quiet and didn’t move much, would you not put the cows in the head lock gate at the front of the crush when inseminating them so they can’t move back on top of you??

  5. A bugger about the Charolais calf.
    Is there much difference within the Partenais breed for calving ease? Where would you rate them as a breed for calving ease (approx)? Between a Limousin and Simmental or easier than the Limousin? I used a Parthenais bull back in the 1990's but calving was a bit of an issue.
    A great video thanks Dara, I enjoy the detail and fingers crossed for fine, warm weather. 56mm of rain down here in the last 48 hours too. Hoping for warm weather now before the end of May and winter.
