Title: Is it normal to feel bursting with pride/happiness?
Post by: waterbuffalofarmer on October 04, 2016, 04:22:36 pm: As you can read in the title. I found this ad on preloved, by the same guy who bought a small starter herd of heifers and a bull off us a couple of years ago, well here is one of the bull calves out of the animals I sold him. I just feel soooo happy to see the genetics carrying on! :excited:

Well done

I really wanted to get them in the past... Sadly don't have enough space for now.

Ah well, maybe sometime eh? If you fancy buying some in the future, send me a PM and I will see what I can do, mind you they will be more expensive next time as the genetic quality gets exceptionally better. :thinking:
