And some std that you can catch from handling them wrong. Aside from all of that they are extremely destructive

Not sure this is the right place for this. Aside from the sheath any thoughts on this 9 month old?

His calving ease epd’s are good too.

Going to put a young beefmaster over them. His bw was 73 pounds and his parents are tanks.

I like that yellow cow. I have one like her. She was poor as a snake when i bought her but looks good now and raises nice calves.

I just opened up a lot of annual Rye that i planted in october to them. I excpect them to come in again around the 12th and I’m adding the bull On the 17th. That gives them 6 weeks on winter forage, hay and grain. Once they’re bred i’ll cut way back on the grain for the first trimester.

February is usually the coldest month we have and we get a lot of rain. Bred in January I’d expect October calves. That’s usually dry weather and gives them a month to put a little fat on before the first frost.

Prices have crashed here but aren’t quite back to pre covid.
