I know you more experienced folks have seen lots of calves on cows. For a beginner like me out in the pasture today however I thought this was a particularly pretty sight this time of year for cow/calf people.
This is one of my 1200 lb cows nursing her near 600 lb heifer calf. This calf should have an unadjusted 205 day weaning weight of about 630 lb when weaned in about 30 days. No creep, no implants. Cow condition is holding up pretty well so I thought I would follow Knersie's and others suggestions and leave the calves on the cows.
#66 did a good job this year. Jim
