Chuckie,
Good thing that new camera has a wide angle lens! Kizzy knows how to fill a screen! :lol2: I will try to get a pic of one of ours when we load her tomorrow. She's open, and man, I have never seen a cow put on pounds AND pones so fast!

I appoligize for my comment. I just never see a cow here thats so fat and still bred and be productive. Sounds like she is one for sure. All your cattle look in real good condition.Chuckie":1dfznb69 said:Yes Kenny, Kizzy has had 4 calves. Last year she had twins.

It's the clover. You can't tell it in the pictures because the Army worms took it down so short, but it is coming back. Too, their sire was fat, but didn't carry pones, but was shaped like them. I can thank him for that. The picture shows red, but it is because the photo was so dark, when I lightened it, the colors on the cow and grass turned red.

This is Weeone, and she is one that I can't figure out. First of all, when she was born, her ear was bent badly in the uterus, and it messed up the cartilage in her ear. So it hangs poorly. One thing that I don't like about Weeone is that her hair has always been a great mystery to me. Everyone else always has decent hair, but her hair will always be a bit on the longer side. This year she did shed off more than normal, and had a longer patch right above her girth area to her back. It stays a bit on the red tinged side when it is longer, and the rest was short and black. Now that the days are getting shorter and a little cooler, she has put on a bear coat early. It is just long. She has a sister that has very short hair in the summer, but when the conditions change from summer to fall, her hair gets fuzzy too, but is not red.
I have a very good mineral out to them which is very high in copper, and I see her in the feeder quite often. She has been wormed, and the only thing that I can think of is she might have a bit of reaction to the fescue in the field. Her last year's heifer has shorter hair than she does, but I noticed that this years 7 month old heifer has a thicker coat of hair. It grew a thick coat quicker than the others did too. I think Weeone should live in a colder climate as she is always ready for the temps. She is an ugly cow, but has good calves.

I want to apologize about the weeds I have growing. My hands are in bad enough shape, that last year and this year, it has been so painful to spray anything. The cartilage is gone in my thumbs joints in both hands, and I cannot grip the handle of the sprayer, and I cannot pull up weeds, even the smallest. It is difficult to use a fork and knife so, there are some things that are going undone here. I can hear my thumbs clicking. :yuck: I can't stand the looks of the weeds, but I must make peace with the fact that I can still play with the cows right now, and be happy with that. I am sure in the short future that it will stop my fun with the cows altogether. I like to keep things neat, but, it is not possible now. There is a strip of land between the lot and the pasture where water lines run, and It takes a bit to get in there with the small tractor. To keep changing gears, going back and forth, my hands give out on the gear shift.
Aren't we all lucky that I can still type, though? :lol2: :lol2: I use my fingers, and as it gets worse, I will just go to one finger typing when I can no longer lay my thumbs down on the desk. In the meantime, everyone will still have to put up with my pillaging and trouble making. :nod:

Josh, do post the picture of you cow with the extra weight. I would love to see her. I hope you make hundreds and thousands of dollars on her.

And one more for this morning.
Kenny Thomas, that is OK what you said about Kizzy. She is a real fatty, and she gains the calories from the clover by looking at it. I have told her to start walking, but I have not seen her doing it yet.
I have people around here making comments too, so, what can I say? Everyone thinks I am feeding them along in the summer time, but I don't. I can't imagine them getting fatter. It worrys me about the calves and will they be able to take care of them, but they always have good calves. Maybe as they get older, they will lose some of the pones, as you can see the 10 and 12 year old cow hold good weight on the clover, but don't develop as large bodies as those Boomer girls.
Kizzy is out of the 10 year old cow, Pud, but her Dad is Boomer. So you can see where the change happened.
Here is one more picture, and it is of a Roller Dung beetle house. I saw him trying to pull that plug of manure over the hole as I was walking through the pasture. He was huge, and he must have already rolled the ball in. He was dragging that chunk in backwards when he spotted me, and let it go and backed down inside the hole. I stayed with my camera pointing at the hole as long as I could stand it. But he didn't come back out while I was there. It is so neat to see them back in the pasture again as I had not seen one in many many years.
My relatives are back!! :lol2: :nod:
