Dial Up Beware Cow Pics

[Jake]

Here's pictures from last weekend, didn't have great light for the pictures of the heifer pairs and didn't have much time to get pictures of the rest of the cattle, we were rushing everything everywhere. plenty more where this came from.

This OLD bull (8) is on his last stint, he was crippled up last year but still gets around great and put on tons of weight this year, he isn't as posty as he appears in the pictures but that is one of his biggest faults along with his disposition but he's dad's bull so we don't have much say in if he stays and goes.....

The two big cows (weight wise) are not heifers just so there's no confusion

This heifer is nursing twins

Heifer on left is not my favorite

I've got a 625 cow that gives the same looks as your 525 cow.

 

[Jake]

I've got a picture of her as a yearling in the lot and she's got the same look, she was one that calved at 15 months last year, had a still born but bred right back and calved this year.

Hi , nice cattle ,congrats, good condition , but where´s the grass to keep em so nice and fat, why all the white on those udders?

 

[Jake]

white comes from the angus and amerifax bulls we use/used we got some spotted calves this year from a amerifax cross bull we have. grass is about gone, there is 40 head in the pasture that holds 25-30 and it's hurtin...

Are those the ones that Ohlde markets? then they do a very good job from lookin at your cows, your place still looks green , gettin any rain? hope your pastures improve . good luck.

 

[Jake]

similiar to the Ohlde promoted, he's a home grown bull from an AI bull and part Amerifax cow. They work real well. The grass is holding in there but the heat and wind is doin it in, got some good rains lately so we're better off than a lot of folks, calves look great.

edit: I must add the bull is going to town because of throwing the spots as they don't sell as well and we didn't know he had the old amerifax in him, been long time since we've ran them.

Did you get your bull from Leachmans? Also, very nice herd of cattle. Take care. :cboy:

 

[Australian Cattleman]

Whats an Amerifax. I've heard of them but don't know anything about them.

 

[Jake]

No, we wouldn't run leachman cattle around these parts they'd melt in our type of environment.

Amerifax is a composite of 5/8 angus 3/8 Beef Fresian. We had a single Ohlde bull way back when and every once in a while his influence shows.
