I am lucky to have a few like her. Next year I plan on keeping the claves on them longer.

Still a pretty fair looking ol girl.

Is she a blk Angus with red influence?

Old style black angus but a red carrier. Every calf she's had when bred to a Hereford or Red Angus has been red.
At fall workup we trim the longer switches. Have had problems in the past with them freezing to the snow/ice

We trim all tails spring & fall. In the spring just to look "tidy" but in the fall to keep mud balls from forming on them.

Around here folks think I'm an "odd bodkin" for trimming tails, just something we do. Didn;t worry about it in the desert. After hearing one cow bellering her head off as she pulled most of her switch off from being frozen to the ground it just seemed like a good idea in this environment.

A not on her daughter, the red baldy. Her first calved weaned at an adjusted weight of 596 her second calf adjusted to 659. She's the same height as her mother and weighed 1310 when we weaned her calf this year. That's one of the reasons we keep hoping for more heifers from granny.

We trim the tails because years ago we had lots of mud in the fall (REALLY???? :shock: ) and their tails got full of mud/manure, then they froze. They were beating their hocks with heavy sh@% balls hanging on their tails. Been trimming ever since.

All calves are 6 weeks weaned

Assorted heifer butts

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Nice calves, nice facilities. The last pic (of the butts) shows a slightly lighter red heifer. Leggier than I would expect from your herd.

The lightrer one is a full Red Angus, the other two are F1 Polled Hereford Red Angus.
We really hadn;t planned on keeping her until we ultrasounded. 564 lbs 6 1/2 months old, weaned a month, IMF 3.67, REA 8.74, fat .18. That's on our standard weaning ration of a couple of pounds of 13% supplement a day and more of that old poisonous high endophyte fescue pasture.
