Was past Dickinson Cattle Company today and thought I'd stop to see what I could see. The cow herd was over the hill, I could barely see them from I70. Quite a few bulls in this lot. Most stayed over the hill and didn't want to come up and talk to me like this fella.
And NO Caustic, I didn't pet him.

Now, I doubt that this picture will give you flat landers any sort of scale of the rolling hills on this place but I tried. Dickinson's place was a strip mine. Hubby hauled many a load of lime and coal out of here. That also results in poor ground. AND beins that it is in Belmont county, the ground isn't too rich anyhow. Add those factors together and Dickinson owns the poorest ground in 3 counties.

This guy was making a lot of noise rattleing the barb with them clown stabbers. He was in a different field than the 2 year olds.

Someone's gonna poke an eye out! These guys look to be in better shape than I have seen in most years. They must be feeding heavy this winter.

Great pics, Cert!

Really loved the first one... can just about hear the scrape of his hoof against the ground as he's giving you that "come over here and say that" look.


Take care.
 
Great pics.

Always was a LH fan - they cross real well and can put up with some real bad weather. They eat anything - almost as good as a Herf in that regard.

Keep 'em coming,

Bez!

Sorry beefy, I made the pictures small as i could but so you could still see them. :oops:
 
woohoo. finally got them loaded (more or less). About how many acres would you say that is in the rolling hills pictures. i'm bad at guesstimating nonflat acreages.
 
Great pics. Some of the best conditioned longhorns—that still look like purebred longhorns—I've seen in a pasture.
 
Great pics cert. Again you did a fabulous job. You need to get in the livestock photography business.
 
Great Pics. I love the pic of the bull with the horn that hangs down on one side.

Beefy, that bottom picture is an easy 8-900 acres. Might be 1000 if you actually put a corn planter on it. Those swayls are pretty deep.

I think I heard somewhere that there over 8500 acres that they own here in Ohio. Last I talked to anyone at the "ranch" they were needing 5 acres per cow. I run 4 head per acre in the next county over.
