Just to add to Inger's comment - I live inthe Nelson Bays (top of the SI) and we are meant to have the best weather in NZ :) It is near monsoonal - over 100mm rain in one day last week, 60mm so far today with worse to come (forecasting up to 200mm) so flooding is here - luckily it drains quickly to...

PeterO, how can she be registered 'long-leg' if she hasn't been tested? Does the NZ association just take a person's word for it? What about bulls, are they just guessed at also? That doesn't seem to make sense to me. Clive, that would be the last thing any of us we need. There are already 2 tests ...

No - no mix up at birth - as I said the mother is Grade 3 registered Long Leg (untested) but if she is a carrier it hasn't come out in her leg length :)

Hi all from wet NZ - or my part of it 150mm in a couple of days. The cows are looking mournful, the chicken (chooks in local parlance) are sitting on top of the broody pens as their run is 2 ft deep in water, while the ducks think paradise is here, Question - I have an 8 month old heifer calf born ...

Good luck - we have run out of grass due to a (hopefully temporary) drought so had to dispose of a bunch of yearling heifers yesterday. I suspect drought is not a UK problem :)

Any chance of a 100 x 100 pixel avatar size? I have a live weather avatar which is illegible at 64 x 64 (and I can't seem to remove it)!

I did submit a draft article to the Bulletin a while ago - perhaps it was insufficiently placid :)
Good luck in sorting out your problems - as an overseas Member I have a vested interest in a good DCS secretary.

Your AGMs appear to be far more exciting than ours. Peter did say that there wasn't much controversy in ours. All the best with trying to sort everything out. Cheer up Inger - now you have got me on board I am sure I can stir the NZ AGM up :) Why isn't there a NZ 'dexter cattle' forum? Why doesn't ...
