[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1163714, member: 18809"] I love looking at all the cow pictures, and how people like different things in their cattle! Those Murray Grays are super nice! Here are a few of my favorites: This is a half blood, sired by Upgrade out of an angus cow, named Mulan. Stocky (on CT here) owns her first son, a 3/4 blood bull and is using him on his girls. She has a really nice heifer on her right now that my daughter hopes will turn into a show heifer for her next year. She is bred back to our Steel Force bull for next year: [img]http://i57.tinypic.com/25fral3.jpg[/img] This is a 3/4 blood 2 year old (she was a yearling when this photo was taken), sired by Upgrade, and raising a heck of an Analyze This bull calf, her name is Gem. Her bull calf is a Feb, and will be weaned in a few months but I already sold him to a nice gentlemen in OK to run on his commercial angus cows. [img]http://i58.tinypic.com/iy1x0j.jpg[/img] She is not a cow yet, but will be, we call her Taylor.
