SHARING OPTIONS: Red and white heifers attract the most demand later in life when sold as in-calf replacements. It is over five and a half months since my autumn cows finished calving and it has been a welcome break that has given me time to forget about all the problems associated with getting living calves on the ground. I have actually been looking forward to the restart of calving – it is probably my favourite part of keeping suckler cows. It is definitely not the easiest but there is something special about it. Maybe I am looking through rose-tinted glasses. Usually towards the end, I get a bit fed up and cannot wait for calving to finish.
