This is as good as it gets for my cattle, can't remember when last I had oats to graze this time of year, pity the heavier soils isn't nearly as good as this. All the cows had to rough it out on very little prior to calving, now they are spoiled a little. It won't last long though then its back to the veld
This cow has produced two replacemnet heifers and a bull that I used in the registered herd last year.
This cow is the dam of one of the show heifers I posted a while back, she is also the dam of the bull with the red cheek that I am going to use as a clean-up sire in the registered herd this season. The second heifer calf in the other thread is her calf.
This second calver is a maternal hafsib of the first heifer calf in the other thread, produced an outstanding bull last year.
Probably my best cow, has produced two show bulls in the past, is yet to have a heifer calf.
Not the prettiest cow, but a very good producer, weans a heavy calf out of that petite little udder.
Bad pose, but a good cow, showed her first heifer successfully, was really hoping for a bull out of her as she is very much my idea of what a hereford cow should look like when she is in good condition.
0411 was in charge of the nursery for the day.
