Not bad, I would like to see a little more heel.

@Warren Allison I think some of those wagyu bull programs pre-contract at a premium for calves no matter what cows they come out of to fill thier nation-wide demand for marketing-program-beef. Surprising he is willing to pay "fancy beef" prices for corriente cows. Maybe he knows/thinks the...

They ain't cheap now!

Around here there is a shortage of grazing calves. Prices are holding real steady. Come fall, I think there's gonna be another jump. And the bigger calves that have grazed all summer are going to be worth a lot as well.

Was looking at our 5 year old bull’s feet the other day. I’ll admit I’m not an expert, and am learning about feet and legs the hard way but his claw shape look pretty good to me. Never been trimmed. They would be sold by pound instead being trimmed.

The key word in your question is for profit. I doubt you will get a hereford to give enough milk to be profitable

I doubt that calf is double muscled. We used (and raised) Blonde d’Aquitaine bulls for years. Our cows were perfectly capable of having them, just as easily as from Simmental.

September and October calves, Most of these are by our BWF bull, The rwf is out of a Beefmaster x Hereford cow. The little dinky heifer is out of a SimAngus heifer and a smaller black bull I had. The other SimAngus heifer had a good calf by the same bull. Hoping the market holds up for another...

That’s how it’s done here. But we cut coastal grass bale in 2 to 3 days after cutting may be different there

Just messing around with an old piece of firewood. I usually don't put that much paint on one but thought this one needed it.

You baling again?

Another day working in the yard. Took some cubes to the girls this morning. Ran a string trimmer for several hours…hot & humid. Have to get the daughter married off this weekend. Then back to trees, fences, and a little more spraying. May try to gather the cows again to vaccinate & ralgro...

What is “spare” time?

Not a show person but can't you mist them at night and run a fan on them to encourage hair growth ?

Looks like he is a fast learner. Ken

Young bulls will make them go round. Ken

Yes he can ! Only problem he might have if 3-4 bulled on the same day . Might not have enough bullets to go around. Lol
