Set to be preg checked next week. They have summered on grass on the far 40, 18 of them and a bull got a bucket or two a week of feed to keep them gentle and to move back and forth occasionally. The Jersey looking one is a result of the neighbors survival of the fittest Jersey’s, and one of our red carrier commercial black heifers.
Looks like you gonna have a good crop of black and black baldy calves next year. I like him.
There’s a bit of a range, as I held off on the breeding of the oldest ones. The oldest are around 22 months then some are around 20. They could start calving early February
Good observation. When I was buying stocker calves, or heifers for bred heifer projects, I always tried to notice the tails and if they looked long and full in comparison the rest of the animal, I passed on them as they were older than their comparative growth.
Yes, he is from a smaller framed cow and is a bit younger than the heifers, he is an April of 2020 calf.
I’ve got plans for her calf if it’s a bull, I’d like to feed him out for our beef.
