Some more pics some may have seen these?

These pics were taken early may I think. Keep them or ship them?

Don't keep them. I can have a truck there next week, send them to me. I like them although many will think they are too big.

To be honest I dont know. I didnt have them tagged yet

Feeder has nothing in it by the way. I do keep them coming up by giving them some sweet feed now and then.

Yes they are big. Average cow weight was 1545 and bull weighed 2200. But man they grow.

What would embryo's cost and how much to get them put in? I guess I should say about how much. Prices vary I know.

Round here the vet charges $57 to put frozen ones in, including the shot. Embryo's seem to run $300/500. Ends up costing around what you could sell a weaning calf for at the sale barn.
