Fall Bull Calves.

They are about a month into weaning. They are the only ones in this approximately 20 acre pasture. The grass has come in since this recent storm. This area gets a lot of traffic, other areas on the farm has a lot more grass.

The Lock N Load 1143Y calf is starting to show some muscle. He is the guy on the right with white face.

Looking good Ronnie.

Thank you, Sir.

Really green... Do you get a big grass surplus in the spring?

Yes, we do. We went from wondering when spring would arrive to worrying about grass tetany. It is always a game of extremes.

They look really nice, especially when you consider how bad winter was here in Kentucky.

I'm not making a penny by saying this, but I would get this out to them ASAP with the grass that's coming on. Not to mention the flies which will be most likely be horrible this year. The Rabon and a Vet Gun should keep the flies at bay.

Does not look like easy country for haying. Do you clip pastures or ?

I am a pasture mowing maniac. I buy my hay. I am a firm follower of the concept that mowing is the best path to healthy pastures.

Can't believe that I am agreeing with you 2 but yes mowing is great. Just look at your yard.

Looking good BR

They look good Ron, lots of calf where it needs to be and not too far off the ground.

Very nice calves. That white face one looks to have a lot of length to him

Thank you. He does. I am happy with this group.

You've got a good looking set of bulls there Ron. I wish our pastures looked like that!

Really envious of the green down there.
