Stock Description: Genuine sale due to retirement of 70 autumn calving cows from a Friesian based herd bred by very well bred stock bulls from a local herd. They are a modern Friesian that has width and strength but retains dairy character. Mature liveweight will be 600-650 kg. These cows are block calving Sep – Nov. Management has been kept simple with extensive use of grazed grass with parlour feed in summer and cubicle housed, grass silage with a small amount of caustic wheat and parlour feed in the winter. Very durable cows that just get on with it, easy calving and very fertile. Stock bulls have been used for 10 plus years; these are the only stock bought in and come from a local, very well known Friesian breeder. The heifers all calve down at 2.5 years for ease of calving and for them to have strength to compete in the herd. The group can be split but preference will be to a buyer who can take a large amount. If split into smaller groups these would really need to be 40+ cows.
