What is this? Found it in silage this morning. The two points are as sharp as injection needles. Could do a lot of damage to a cow if swallowed.View attachment 1177682

[Wee Willy]

Wonder how it got through the spfh metal detector? Nobody eats corn on the cob here.

The boss (wife) had me going through a pair of old filing cabinets from my dad's time on the farm, as she has a decorator coming in next week, I had to be ruthless with lots of the stuff, no room to keep everything, came across lots of interesting stuff.
I think this will bring back some memories for @Bald Rick

Calf might be?

 

[Jdunn55]

Calf might be?

Friesian x limo just not the normal way around

He was meant to be pure limo but I think my friesian stock bull may have also served her without me knowing

OK so I may owe the bull an apology...

Just calved a heifer who's had a limo calf and should have had a friesian, checked my records and they were ai'ed at the same time

Will have to give disciplinary action to my AI man

 

[som farmer]

we get odd cattle calving at the 'wrong' time, work the dates back, TB test days, but never seen 1 served, or bulls out.

at least you know your AI man was at fault, terrible, but do you do your own AI..........................

 

[Wesley]

We had a Holstein bull that if the cow stood in the right place he could serve them through a gate

 

[som farmer]

reckoned we had one that would jump over the gate, serve, and jump back.

but more likely to be carelessness on our part.

Was he called Boris Johnson?

Agreed with the ai man, he's going to be paid half rate from now on,

0 ÷ 2 = 0
