Watch out for any "splash back" as you get to the end of the coiled part - not a pleasant experience and a mistake you will only make once, Trust me!

AI man been yesterday and back today at 2pm. Homemade crush worked fine. Dave (AI man) said they were well in season, which is good. They were jumping each other yesterday and standing, so I was pretty sure they were. So after today, wait three weeks, if no sighn of heat, we'll have the vet check them in 5 weeks. The heifers were as good as gold yesterday, albeit a bit frisky. Must have been the hormones.

Fingers crossed for you!

BH has just set off to sweet-talk the neighbour with the good Galloway bull; if Hillie comes a-bullin' next Weds we'd like to take her to see 'a real man'! One of our Angus cross heifers has just calved to this bull (naughty little floosy jumped the fence - just as well it was a Galloway next door and not a British Blue or something; she was only just two at calving) and it's a small but very nice little bull calf.

We're ready to get a new bull of our own but BH is waiting on Hillie and the last of the heifers to be definitely in calf before bringing on a bigger beast.

And yes, they are certainly full of skittishness (or worse) when they are a-bulling! Bless 'em!
