Another thing with the teenager is his smell. It drives the cattle beserk. Something about that teenager funk. These are my two pet heifers from pet cows. Super gentle. The teen shows up they will start bucking and trying to give him a head butt.

2020 heifers with the zero on the shoulder. Yes, I am 52 which feels old until a group of local cattlemen meets up and I am the baby.

This teenager that works for us deserves his own thread of a breed. His mother is a drug addict and his papa is in the penitentiary. Lives with his grandfather next door to Doc so he tried to take this kid under his wing and give him an after school job. Time will tell if this was a good idea...

Eventually I overwhelmed them with my own airing of the grievances about lazy teenage ranch hands that say they fix fences…

The 0 on the shoulder means she is a 2000 birthdate

Bred heifers explaining to me that the grass actually is greener across the fence.

Good advice is timeless.

The boys have been on pasture with mineral and silage. They have not fallen apart but aren’t doing anything either.

He looks like a Maine Angus. That would explain fertility issues

Usually I avoid the posts like this but what on earth about this bull is a direction that anyone would go? His bony hips? The slab sides? The money you will lose on calves like him? We are all trying to produce the largest amount of high quality carcass for the lowest inputs to make a profit...

Now that is something that I did consider. Is 69 just a little bit smarter and could tell none of those heifers are even close to cycling? 9 of those heifers were abandoned and nearly starved when we got the call to go get em. 151 is incredibly docile and might have been following me because...

The bull with heifers is 69. He is a little taller than 151

That’s the easy part with Gardiner bulls. Sire and dam are in the left ear. Lot number in the right ear. It’s all on their website.

Tag 69 is a nice bull, too. When the sun comes up I will walk over and snap a few. The difference was I had to move 20 six month old heifers in with those two bulls to keep them company overnight. 151 walked right through the gate with me to meet the girls. 69 stopped to eat silage and waited...

This is a nice bull. I see plenty and this one is excellent.

We made hay last month on this pasture. The seed drill lets you get in there the next week and not miss a beat.

That is what a heifer should look like if she has never touched grain. Yes, we feed them a high protein (12-15%) silage but no grain. Right now they are cleaning up pasture before I rail it, rake it, and plant rye grass with the broadcast spreader. When they calve they go straight to rye grass...
