gelbvieh shorthorn cross/ gelbvieh angus cross

[elceepowell]

I have a GV bull, neighbour has Hereford bull. Cows are shorthorn or angus.

Is the cow pictured old, or been sick? Her condition is very poor. If you were my neighbor I'd be throwin' her some feed over the fence...

 

[elceepowell]

She is an L cow. She is not in good condition, but perhaps not as bad as the picture shows. My angus cows wintered better and most are fairly sleek. I will take a few more shots of her and post them, but it will be a few days before I get back to the computer. Maybe I needed a wake up call where she is concerned.

8 isn;t that old. Worm her and pour some groceries to her.

The calves look good but the cow...

I'd be inclined to believe the picture. She's at the bottom end of what I see in the dairy herd during a difficult year. I'd be drying her off (if she were a dairy cow) and feeding her up if she's not sick.

I agree with Dun on the cows condition although I am NO expert and I hate to be a dunce but what was the point of this thread? Were we supposed to guess who the daddy of the calves are? :help: What am I missing?
