Sorry for your loss, but it is good the cow has another one to raise.

how is the twin doing?

Last year, a new cow i bought broke out. next morning i saw her walking back from the woods to the back yard, i opened the slider door to lock the gate behind her but she bolted and ran back in the woods. I chased her for 2 months in the woods around me, after half of the town tried to help i...

good looking cattle, i like that bull

I don`t mean to hijack the thread, but i also wanted to get opinions on breeding Beefmaster bull to red Angus Cows. I don`t know if the cross would work in the north east, and how Beefmasters do in the rough winters and deep snow.
