Cattle photos for critical evaluation.

In our cooler area the Brahmans seem to have delayed their calving till a little later. I really don't know how people from the "frozen north" live there. But then there are people that live in deserts and love it. I laugh when people born and bred in our area complain about the cold. You live here you just take it. Sure beats the hot humid coast. We never have any frozen ears or tails or anything like that. I think I might have had a Brahman calf die that calved overnight down on a flat near a gully once. I have a facebook page that CT posters can have a look at to see some of our cattle.

Nice lookin cows . I second the thought on the udders. Lots of capacity.

My only complaint is what happened to those purty Gelbvieh heads and big ears.

This might strike you as a bit more purty.

Love that Dewlap. :tiphat: Thanks!

I agree,I love a Gelbvieh...hence my name :cowboy:

We calve in May and June to avoid winter conditions.

This was May 29, 2010,
Calves huddled in buck brush.

Taking a new pair and an extra over the rise to a little better shelter.

Took this one home to dry off and warm up.

Snowing hard back at the yard.

Oh well the moisture was welcome and it didn't last for long only about 24 hrs.

It certainly was unexpected.

That is interesting about the Brahmans delaying estrus. How delayed are they relative to the Herefords?

Then your name should have been yellow cow.

That's right. Braunvieh would be "brown cow".

It's that German translation.......Yellow cow and Brown cow just doesn't do em right.
