Since I use AI only, I tend to watch my girls very closely re bulling. Usually after calving they cycle at around the two week mark although I had one start on her 9th day, part horse I think :p and a first time calver at about three weeks. I don't usually usually try AIing until the heat that woul...

Thanks Penny for the info about flavour and size (24 mos vs 30) We were actually wondering. The last steer sent was 27 mos and 'grass-fed' except that mine are all given about 1/2 pound of grain every second day...for 'escape' purposes.

Thanks Duncan; You are right of course, about 'generalizations' and I apologize if it appears that I am doing that. Working with milk and turning it into cheese is a bit of a passion for me and my assumptions about the Bf content, are only because of the average yields of certain soft and hard chee...
