Hi All

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Yes, I'm still alive & kicking even tho I haven't been active on here.
My nephew has been living with me for a year now. Really, really great help/herdsman. And he LOVES it.
We have started calving. Got 3 bulls & 1 heifer, with 28 to go. I'm heading to Denver this Saturday (18th to 22nd). If anyone will be there at that time, PM me & maybe we can meet up.
I'm looking for a new Ram 3500, Crew cab, dually, diesel. Might have one coming in to a dealer in next week or so that is what I want. Trading in my 08 Ram 3500.
Lost my 18 year old blue heeler in July, and we just got a new one day after Christmas. Real Cutie.

I am very glad to hear that things are going good for you. I hope the weather cooperates for the rest of your calving season. If you have a few minutes share with us how things went at Denver. I hope you have another good year in the cattle business!

Jeanne, so good to hear from you. I had hoped to go to Denver; the start to this winter gave me pause. You remember what I told you last year; get together with some friends and spend an evening on the 16th Street walking mall downtown. I miss denver! If you see Keith or Chan, say hey for me. Ron

I hope that heeler's ears are erect now.

Not cattle, but here's a pic! Yes, his ears are up!!! He's doing great. Lots of fun.
Denver was super!! unbelievalbly great weather - while my nephew suffered with sub-zero weather. (My bad!!)
I have 20 calves on the ground - 13 bulls & 7 heifers (bummer!) but all calved unassisted.
Bulls used: JF Milestone, Hoc Broker, Grandmaster, Beef Maker, Dominance, Shock Force, and others.


Here's a Milestone heifer (Sept 2012), sold, went to Illinois. Was Div Champion at Ill State Fair.
Her dam is being flushed in coop with Hudson Pines Farm - just produced 20 Milestone embryos! (full sibs)

 

[sim.-ang.king]

Did she win Div Champion in open or JR at IL state fair? I got to see the open show but I don't remember her, might of missed it.
