F-1 Herf/Brimmer 1St

This is her first.
She might not stay long as several guys want her pretty bad.

She has a large udder for a first calf heifer. Are both of those calves hers?

No just the one looking at us.
The udder is the reason I am seriously considering culling her.
The udder doesn't bother me as much as the teats. That is what I want to see when that calf gets big
enough to pull that udder down . F-1's are bad about being bell tited.
One fellow has offered 2000 for the pair.
I picked her up for 1010.00 last year so I figure I got to get 1500 to break even.
I am going to let her raise that calf and then decide.
More than likely I will sell that calf weaned and her a few months later as bred.
I am pretty sure I can make more by splitting them and selling her bred through the barn.

 

[denvermartinfarms]

I'd let the calf get to 450 or 500lbs and split them up. She sure is milking good but I don't like her faucets either, I'd sell her like you said.

 

[greybeard]

Out of your bull CB?

I had a Char cow with teats like that--3 of them anyway. Kept a couple of her heifers and their teats were normal. Still got both of them.

Yeah the calf is I bought that heifer last year.
One of the gambles of a heifer. Out of the five heifers I bought last year
looks like I will be culling two. The best part about her is she will sell like hotcakes
even with that udder. She will end up in somebodies river bottom pasture and
most likely won't see a human three or four times a year.

 

[Workinonit Farm]

Wow. Certainly not lacking in milk. Besides the teats issue, that's a nice looking pair!

Shoot. I'd keep that thing for a cow, till her bag did give trouble. Young cows like that ain't around every corner.

Jury is still deliberating her sentence. Best case scenario is probation.
She is here to raise a terminal calf. That is another reason I want to see what kind of job she does.
Right now all she has is an ugly udder, calf is nursing fine and any other ones that want a drink as well.
Got the third calf out of 4 heifers yesterday evening one to go.

 

[Caustic Burno]

Bigfoot you might be right on this girl teats are looking a lot better since the calf has started to pull on them.
She is still not out of the wood's as far the cull line, that udder is not near as strutted today as the other day.
Found another calf today as well I guess these cold fronts keep dropping them off every time one comes through.
Obama almost knocked the white off this one got a star and a sock

 

[denvermartinfarms]

Are you still gonna buy a different bull coming up?

I don't know talking with my cousin about him leasing him to put on his heifers .
That give him a little something to do other than dig holes and beller.
He is the best bull I have ever owned for BW and WW.

That would be good, I always like to keep one as long as I can when he's doing a good job.

 

[Caustic Burno]

Well I made him a really good offer as well 20 bucks a cow and I don't have to feed him for four or five months.

 

[thommoos]

So what kind of Bull are you breeding?

Angus named Obama to PO the Mrs.
Said I would never own another Angus, so when I bought him I had the papers put in her name.

 

[Caustic Burno]

Heifer that had the questionable udder now.
Looks much better now she is not strutted.
For now looks like she will get a second chance.
Now


Day after calving

 

[houstoncutter]

Well CB at least you know what you have going on. She could be way down in the back of a pasture where know one saw her with a bag that a calf couldn't handle. Ive had some like her in the past that lasted for years with me keeping an eye on em each year. Others grew wheels the following year, its a roll of the dice. My Dad always referred to em as my short bus cows. I always had em in a area where I could pen em easy.

As Im sure you know, its quite a rodeo, milking a F1 in a chute.

Out of the five heifers I bought this year all calved with out assistance.
Lost one calf to calving on the creek bank.
Hitting some sales next couple of months got a few more to replace.

Are you relly sure that she is a first calf heifer?? I noticed her tail and just looking at the picture would call her and her general condition a mature cow. Mouth her and see as it is very interesting to me!! Thank you !
