I know this may sound stupid and trivial to some or most of you but I'm getting to the point were I'm not liking my username handle much anymore. Last while I've tolerated it, this time though it's just...a bit of a mouthful. I remember even being told that when I first came here a few years...

Still kicking myself for not posting this sooner. Oh well. Anyhow, I went on a tour to a custom grazing ranching operation a ways out from where I live several weeks ago. I got a personal tour since I was one of a couple potential employees to help out on this operation. Didn't get the job of...

:lol2: See below

To getting started with some cattle this year, but not close enough. My DB offered to take out a loan and sponsor me with getting started and raise a few heifers in an MIG system in the corrals we have this year, which I would've gladly taken if he didn't mention the word "loan" or that we both...

A job that is. Got a job at a farm & feed store just a ways out from home working with store stock and that. :D

Some regal idiot's been telling me that there's Jersey influence into Angus cattle. PLEASE tell me that's a pot load of bull crap!! :bang:

Here's the snowy owl that decided to make a stay here on the weekend. He (or she) stayed in the same spot for at least four hours, if not more. And he blends in near perfectly with the snow in the background:

Here's those snow buntings we've been seeing lately: The pics were dark since it was snowing quite a bit. I was sitting really quiet and those buntings were getting pretty close to the camera, as shown in the last pic. Mallard ducks: Flying off since I scared them. Robin that was...

This may seem like a dumb question to some of you (it does to me), but after doing some reading I got a bit confused after reading about a particular breed (Gelbvieh) being capable of having early puberty, and yet is normally an moderate to late-maturing breed. This seems very counter-intuitive...

Any of you get the big dump of snow that we got and Edmonton got this morning? Woke up this morning to about 13 to 15 inches of snow on the ground, sure was fun to shovel the walk out with!

And finally got a new (used) car! :D Still pinching myself, can't believe this has happened... :banana:

And I got pictures: Just a cow with her bull calf just passing through. We thought maybe they'd stop and eat the bird seed on the ground but either she doesn't know what bird seed tastes like or she wasn't interested in it. Good thing since she's teaching her son (probably a...

I'm considering (well I have to) getting a "new" car sometime, but I'm so confuddled by all the makes and models and all that enough that I don't know what to look for. I haven't started doing any serious looking because I don't know what vehicle (preferably a car, though I like my trucks) would...

Some pictures I found I had stored up from a year ago. :) The cows and calves (just three pairs there that day) are all from the area local to where this Farming in the '30's was held last year, which is near around Eckville, Alberta. They also had pony rides for the kids, a viewing...

I passed the road test this morning (was pretty nervous going through the whole thing), and FINALLY got my GDL. :banana: :banana: :banana: It was the first road test I ever took and passed on the first run. It's still so surreal for me yet.... :mrgreen:

...the northern lights last night? I had gotten woke up at midnight because the night seemed oddly brighter than usual. They weren't as vibrant as I've seen before, but it was neat stand outside at one in the morning until 2 am to watch them dancing in the north and right above my head. Had...

I had posted a similar thread on the Breeds Board on here, but thought I would post here to get a better hit on getting some more dairy cattle pics I need for a breed page project I'm working on. So, with that I'm hoping for pictures of cows, calves, bulls and steers of the following dairy...

I am working on some breed pages on a different forum (backyardherds.com) and I was wondering if could get some pictures of any of your cattle of the following breeds: Angus Red Angus Gelbvieh Simmental Limousin Shorthorn Jersey Brown Swiss Speckle Park Belgian Red Belgian Blue Lim-Flex Main...

This article I found to be quite interesting, and something that may initiate opinion by some on here (posted on the other thread about the heifer that calved at a lighter wt/younger age): You Can Breed Heifers at a Lighter Weight The article is basically how some research has shown that...

Have a Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year! :santa: :santa:
