Calving went quite well for us, especially considering that the weather was about as nasty as you could get....for almost the entire months of March and April. Almost every calf born spent at least the first few hours in the barn, and most were born in there. Amazingly we didn't have too many lose their ears. Then we ran into pneumonia problems later in April and early in May. We only lost 1 calf to that, and we finally got the rest over it. We had our last calf born about May 5.
Here are some photos of the other calves up at our north place. These are Angus crossed either Hereford or Shorthorn.
These guys had to come see what the truck was (or maybe the dogs on the back) 58 is Hereford x Red Angus, 75 is Red Angus/Simm x Red Angus. 34 is RA/HH/GV x Red Angus. 58 and 75 are sired by the same bull.
Some more calves sired by the same RA bull. We used him on heifers up until last year where we threw him in with some cows. Wish we'd done that a long time ago! We only got 1 calf crop off of the cows, he just became too big of a problem to keep any longer. The calves are all out of Angus/Hereford, red baldy or brockle cows.
This heifer calf's mama is pictured below.
A cool shot of one of my favorite cows
Our 1 and only Black Angus bull. We have pretty much gone to Red Angus and Shorthorn, but this guy is still hanging around.
A couple of his calves.
Out of a Hereford/Angus, Black Baldy cow
Out of a SS/HH/BA red brf cow
A new cow to the herd
