Yesterday I took some pics of the 2 replacements I saved to replace the oldest 2 cow’s who may be on their last year this year. Even though they have mainly Hereford markings they are half Gert and half Hereford. Sometimes they come out this way.
No not all the herd is always a work in progress. She has had a good run but I think 16 years old will be her last year. But I keep saying it is her last year but she keeps bringing in a big calf every year.
I have been on record on this site for years that for my area in North Alabama the Gert/Hereford cross is the best cross for a mother cow you can come across. Before the developers started buying us out had pasture just for making replacements that we put Angus or Brangus bulls on.
