great news to have everyone arrive safely.
are you keeping the bull on for another year? or are you keeping the heifer calves on?
I'm going to use the bull this summer on the three that calved this year and the heifer born last summer then he's going in the freezer. He was born August 2012, so will be within the 30 months.
I'll be looking to buy a bull calf born this summer, at weaning, to use next summer and 2016. It seems to have worked well with Storm anyway.
At the moment, I am planning to keep the heifer calves - but that's me up to six females now so this will be the last year I can keep them unless we win the lottery or can get some additional grazing. I don't want to get rid of the sheep.
