Here are a few pictures of some of our Galloway calves taken last night.

Calves are right around 3 months of age.

They do look like nice calves, but hard to tell for sure under all that HAIR. And that 3rd one in the larger pics, 2442 with the black face and all that wool on him, reminds me of a lamb.
It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with the simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.

They remind me of grizzly bears. :)
You may think the grass is greener of the other side, but if you take the time to water your own grass it will be just as green.

Like the British White, it's sort of hard to tell without something to compare them to just how big they are. But they look good!

Thanks 3WAY-that's what I wanted them to post like.

They weigh 350-400 lbs. The bulls were 78 and 82 lbs at birth. The heifer was 82 lbs also.

They are all out of 8 yr old cows and out of our herd bull that I have posted on here before.

Thanks for the comments.

We may have to. His full sib (heifer) was ultrasounded to be loaded with high quality meat. His sire has an est. lean meat yield of 66.5% and choice.
