Calf crop has started

[Caustic Burno]

Bottom calf is a new color for me,
bought her mom as a heifer through the barn. She is heavily Brahman influenced beginning to think she is a Char cross.

nice blue calf , Will prolly lighten up and be just a shade darker than her dam

I've always thought a neat thread would be people posting their first calf of the year. Nice calves btw.

Thanks that blue calf made me do a double take this morning.

Interesting color! Its nice to see a change after you get used to seeing black after black after black after black every year!

That is part of the reason that I love my Herefords. No two of them are the same.

Those herefords have really matured and filled out nicely CB.

Nice looking cows and calves.

Nice calves. Love the colour of the second one!

All the cows are 1/2 to 1/4 Brimmers
with the other percentages being Hereford,Char,or Brangus using an Angus bull. Get some yellow white face out of the Braford/Char cross from time to time. They actually outsold my baldie calves last year,
This is the first smoke I have ever gotten. The Braford/Char cow raises a heck of a calf I just don't like the diluted that shows from time to time.
The cow in the top pic is a Braford/Char cross.
The calf standing next to the dun heifer was the top selling calf last year and the calf of the top cow.

Nice looking animals Caustic! That blue/gray is nifty. I've had that color of calf grow off to be tan, black, smoke or stay gray. Each time, they sold well.

I am actually thinking about keeping her for my granddaughter to show in the commercial class. She will be 14 months old just right for their county fair. In commercial class they have two categories 1/2 more or less Brahman. Of course paw paw will be the high bidder .
I am changing out bulls after this season

What's next?

 

[Caustic Burno]

Angus or Brangus most likely Angus as I worry about Brangus giving me to much ear with my girls all being Brahman influenced

I think that's a great idea!
