    I've got a dairy herd and often use fertility plus AI, so I have had alsorts of breeds. We keep all calfs and sell them as big store cattle around 18-24m old. My favourite cattle are charolais, they always stand out and look better than the rest right through to selling them.

    Belgian blues are notorious for needing a diet richer in protein compared to other breeds to perform. You would need a massive operation with whole feed wagons worth of Belgian blue optimized calf diet to make economic sense. in the Single European Market you're probably in the top 5% of farms rearing calves. they look good on paper but there is no economies of scale to support it.

    It will be good to see next year the difference between the at lib calves and if it pays off, as I guess they will be drinking a litre or 2 extra a day or do they drink almost the same amount

    • @FARMERPHIL3690
      @FARMERPHIL3690  Месяц назад +4

      The most I seen one drink in a day was 16l which is 10l more than the restricted fed calves. I’ll have an average consumption when they’re all finished but I reckon it’s around 10-11l which is 4-5l more than the others

    Calves are looking great guys 👏👏 sheds look much cleaner than last year, is that the better drainage with the chips and the improvements to the ventilation? How are the yearlings going? Have you done anything different with them feeding wise this winter, they got clover and crop last winter yeah?

    • @FARMERPHIL3690
      @FARMERPHIL3690  Месяц назад +1

      The wood chip is savage improvement to the drainage and keeping the bedding drier and cleaner. Yearlings are going well getting a bit tight on grass but hoping this weather will push on the grass

    i think the problem is with the mother, you see yourself the difference between different herds within the same breeds! you can't put just anything to a Jersey and have an any way decent calf from it, truth is BBX from a dairy herd is a glorified friesian most of the time.
    you saw yourself the difference in germany with the fleckvieh herds, crossing CH or BB to those will leave you a good beef animal or even just a pure fleckvieh will out perform BBX or CHX from a friesian.
    I've seen myself the difference in the cull cows for example, every JEX is a P, and the fleckvieh will at least be an O or maybe an R, plus add on the weight and it's unreal the difference per animal, JEX lucky to get 700-900 Fleckvieh going for 1500-1800. and i'm sure that must come through in the calf aswell.
