The South Devons make such a huge carcass it was too much just for two of us. The Highlands are tiny compared to them. I started with 2 8-9month old calves but had to wait until they were three before they were bulled. It seemed ages before i got my first calf. We keep the girls and I have 12now I hope they do well for you Back to top bronskibeat Joined: 09 Sep 2007 Posts: 1768 Location: Clawddnewydd Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 6:04 pm    Post subject: Thanks Spana Thats good, glad to see I'm doing it the right way then Back to top Spana Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 2299 Location: North Cornwall Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 6:17 pm    Post subject: bronskibeat wrote: glad to see I'm doing it the right way then you probably know better than me dont know if its the right way, not the quickest, might be the cheapest, might get a lot of bull calves.
