This little bull, was found this morning, down in a holler with his momma by a tree. Rough introduction to the world, 9 degrees and a couple inches of snow. Brought him to the house in the sxs and let him warm up a little and got some colostrum in him. Heifer followed to the barn and getting ready to take him back to her.
As far as the genetics behind him most folks would say everything is wrong, yet so far he's a tough little dude.
Mother is a 23 month old first calf heifer, out of a bred cow bought at the stockyards. The sire is a commercial Angus bull out of a registered Angus bull and a cow purchased through the stockyards as a heifer calf.

Looks great. Wife probably not going to be happy about her folded laundry getting soiled!! LOL
Thanks, wife is all about bringing them in when it's cold like this. That particular basket of laundry isn't to big of a deal as it's old sheets and towels to go on the floor for the dogs when it's raining and muddy.
 
We have a bit of cold coming this week!
Praying no one calves in it. This too shall pass...
We have 14 more heifers to go, several look like they could calve any day. The actual first due date is February 3, but usually by that day there's already some on the ground. Weather looks fairly decent here the next few days, it's a gamble though this time of year.
