We'd forgotten that last year during mating season, while the Artificial Insemination Technician was coming that we'd run out of the Angus bull semen we use.
Friends gave us some 'straws' to use but their Nitrogen bank was empty of Nitrogen and the straws were dead.
So the technician used some Hereford she had spare - there were only 2 or 3 days of her coming until we used our own (real life) bulls so that worked out ok.
And we've remembered why we prefer to use easy-calving Angus bulls - they tend to be easier calving - this guy was pretty big and his mum has a pinched nerve - dragging her back leg a bit. Hopefully it will come right soon.
ANYWAY, we got quite a surprise to see this white-faced boy out in the paddock!!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn
