Spring calving is well underway with 44 cows from a total of 64 having already calved. This year the conditions have been good for us in West Gippsland with no winter floods, only average mud, and a good spring flush of grass. Our Salers cows have done their part so far with a 100% live calf rate, or technically, 102.2% live rate, counting the twins. This is how breeding is supposed to be: just turn up and put the ear tags in!
