For better or worse

[MrSmith]

This is the start of my herd.
Got 15 cows last night. 4-6 yrs old, 2nd stage bred. 3 white faces the rest all black.




Our steer is closest in this pic.

You are now an official addict to this disease.

Keep their bellies full, and they should do you just fine.

Good Luck

They look good from the picture and not wild and crazy. Think you'll be fine.

Get your AI started ASAP! Your future self will thank you. Breed them all to Hoover Dam, steer the sons, keep the daughters, rinse and repeat with SAV Raindance sexed semen. In 4 years you won't even recognize these cattle.

Nice start Sir, wish you well with them.

Not sure what direction you are thinking of going but with a small bunch like that I would consider leasing a bull for 60 days and buying my replacements.

A lot of folks are married to their cattle.

Don't worry with Brookhills advice on the AI. Its not worth it to you right now. If you want a angus bull Jacks it pretty close to you.

Nice Start! Congrats!

 

[snoopdog]

Nice looking cows , congratulations! Exactly the same number and age/ stage we got back in with 2 years ago. What are they bred to?

Don't worry with Brookhills advice on the AI. Its not worth it to you right now.

Won't ever be either.

 

[Nesikep]

Nice bunch.. hope they do their jobs for you

 

[MrSmith]

Thanks all, we're really excited. Feel like a real farm now.

I was told they're bred to a registered Angus bull. I hope so. We'll see for sure when they calve :shock:

Any advice on what mineral or anything extra that would be good for them right now? I know that's a loaded question. Just not sure if there's anything special to increase my succesful calving chances.
I've got some feed store brand sweet mag mineral out now.
