    Hello from Deep East Texas

    That’s a lot of thick rye. What kind of hay does rye make? Does it retain any protein? What is your bull that you have a white face calf?

    Hello from Deep East Texas

    I can go out every evening just before dark and there are 30+ in the dead trees along the deep creek at back of our place. By 9:00 or so they are hunting in the morning

    Dang replacement heifers

    We kept 4 last year for herd expansion after the hay shortage for 2 years. First 2 no problem, 3rd one this morning, to narrow and we lost the calf. 3rd likely today or tomorrow so fingers crossed. First heifer we have ever had trouble with so been pretty lucky.

    Retirement

    Retirement is 9 months away and to be honest scares the hell out of me. There is always work on the farm and I’m always behind but once I leave that office it will finish up much quicker. Been working since I was 14 and just can’t imagine not! I’ll find out though

    Just wanting variety in their diet?

    Our cows use the hackberry as a dessert it seems. When we pull them off the wheat in the evening they usually head up the hill and spend a few minutes trimming up the trees.

    Buzzards killing mature cows
