Re: calf weights

Was wondering if the article on birth weights is available to read online anywhere? If not would anyone be able to email me a copy of it? Really interested to read it.

Re: Its a miracle!!!

Amazing!! Congrats so happy you found it. I'm sure you must have been frantic trying to find it. I think after day 2 I would have been telling myself "forget it", just goes to show us all not to give up hope too soon.
Great Story thanks for sharing,

Re: First return of Dexters to Ireland

John Potter had a few red Polls after the Dun testing was finished. He tested them to see if they carried Dun and they did not.

Well I managed to get out of the country via Gatwick, thank goodness I didn't book via Heathrow!
I'm now back to 3 feet of snow here, but we are used to it, not like the UK, it's crazy over there.
