First Pic Post Attempt

[rwtherefords]

Since everyone seems to like seeing each other's cattle, here's an attempt to share a couple of pictures of my girls during last falls calving season.

Nice looking cow and calf. Excellent depth and thickness. But I guess tapeworm will find something wrong with it. Just give him time.

Thanks GW. Regardless of whatever is said, they work very well for me without requiring any grain whatsoever.

While I got this thing going, here's a pic of the first cow in my previous post along with my commercial Charolais and one of the bulls that bred my herd for this past fall calving season. By the way, that Hereford cow in the back and the Charolais weigh within 10 lbs of each other. I suppose there's some here that won't believe that I actually weigh them either, unless I post pic's of my scales.

Is this a Triple L bull? He looks good.

 

[rwtherefords]

Yes, he is a LLL. His reg. # is P41130886. His sire was Vaquero 25C and his dam was the Tantara 020 cow (DOD). My first cow in the original post is also a Vaquero 25C daughter, and the calf you see is the line bred cross I spoke about in other posts. The other bull I used for last fall's breeding season has a reg. # of P42359469. He's LLL too and has better numbers than the one in the pic.

This is the other bull. He turned 2 in February.

If anyone is interested in seeing some sample pic's of my Angus cattle, now would be a good time to speak up.

Why not?

I ran across a pasture that I could rent about the same time I was offered an excellent deal on a herd of Commercial Angus heifers. The herd these cattle came from were all registered Angus at one time, but the owner decided not to fool with the paperwork anymore. He buys his bulls from the local Bull Test Station and has a reputation of purchasing the most expensive bulls each year. So, I'm hoping this works out. Only time will tell. The pictures were taken this past March. BTW, I only feed a little grain when I get new animals to tame them. That's what's going on in the first pic.

My young Angus bull.

A reverse quote like Jake's: Not horrible.... for Angus. They look good.

I know what you mean.

I think you should put that Triple L bull on those angus and let him make some baldies.

That's definitly under serious consideration. Now that I have a calf crop out of him and know what he does for birth weights, I feel completely comfortable breeding him to heifers. His bull calves averaged 82 lbs. and his heifer calves averaged 77 lbs. He shouldn't present a problem for any first time calver.

Just some gorgeous looking animals, rw. Love the first cow. Depth in the body and chest, balanced, nice udder, good flesh,..real keeper. Neighbour has a MSU Optimum Z03 son that looks exactly like that first bull with the cows. Right down to the markings. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments Aaron.

That cow is a lot deeper than the Char.

 

[cowspider]

Great looking animals. I agree put the 3L Bull on those black heifers and you should get some popping calves.

Funny when I looked at your picture of the Herford cow and her calf I thought I was looking at a pair of mine. I have a Hereford cow that looks almost exactly like yours and has a calf marked just like yours. The only difference I see is where your calf is red mine is black. Bet you can't guess why. :lol:

I bet I could take a wild guess as to why.

This is a picture I took of the younger bull (P42359469 70N) from the previous page with his working clothes on today. He's been out for 72 days breeding 25 cows, and hasn't had anything to eat but our Tennessee fescue pasture.
