Moved a couple into a lot with some decent grass growing, they need fattening up. :nod: Got dark real quick tonight.

Yearling heifer.

One thats somewhere around 18 months

And one about 23 months old, which I moved to a fall calver, and then decided to move everything to spring calving, so I'll have to move her back. Good management, errrr. :roll:

Are these all out of your current herd sire? Also curious as to why to moved to spring calving?

Paul I really like that last heifer. She looks like she could use some length but she looks nice. Churchill bull?

I'm hoping I'll be able to manage pastures better, with just the one calving season, also have all the calves ratio against one another. A few years back I fed better quality hay, had a liquid protein tub filled for the winter (mol-mix). Now I treat them more like a commercial herd, average quality hay, no mol-mix. Cows still do just fine, they start to lose a little conditioning about weaning time, spring grasses are growing then, so it works out pretty good. What I did see though, was pretty good drop in weaning weights in the fall calves when I took away all the extras, so in the end it was a no-brainer for me. Yearling calf from the present bull, the other two are by my old bull, 4088
