Some new ladies

by **hooknline** » Fri May 25, 2012 4:22 pm

Just went and picked up some ladies for the smallest lease property.
2 red angus sisters and 2 braford looking ladies that look like they could be sisters also.
3 are 4 months bred and 1 6 month bred.
Need some condition on them but I think they will bounce back well.

Solid mouths?
Looks like a good buy if you got them bought for the right price. I like buying solid colors and brockle faced cows in sets like that because it shows planned breeding so I usually don't get surprised by a calf that won't match anything else I own.

All solid. All for good prices.

Looking good. Maybe the rain will start tomorrow.

I hope so. They're on enough grass for a good while but I'd like to see more under them too

You have to wonder how they would do if they had some real grass to eat...? Happy M day!

That picture was taken after they were on a trailer for 3 hrs. And the area i let them out happened to have that sand pit right there. Figured someone would say something about it.
I Do need to spray that field for weeds and fertilize it though

I like to see real pictures, I have plenty of sand in my pastures. Looks like you got it in drive and your foot to the floor.

Gave them a few days to settle in. Went over today and found out they know what a bag of feed is. And once settled in I can walk right up to them and move them any which way I want to with normal hand movements or a stick

Looks like you're off to a real good start, Hook.

Thanks for the encouragement folks. But if you really want to help me out, tell me I can't do it and it won't work. Works every time with me for some reason
