[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1548165, member: 18809"] The cow is smaller framed. She was 1245 pounds when we bred her to Cowboy, 31 days after she calved. She was 1085 when we weaned her this summer. Her sire was a herd bull that ran for the guy I bought her from (and yes, full sib to Loaded Up). He sold the bull before he realized the value in his calves! He lost the dam of our cow not long after we bought her (found her dead, not sure from what), so he really wants to see how this heifer calf grows and likely buy her off our daughter (if she will let her go! lol). The heifer calf was 72 pounds, at 280 days gestation. She is growing great, and one of our favorite calves out of the fall group. We call her Oreo, and I registered her last night after posting this; Double Stuff! Kids came up with it, since she has double the filling (white) like an Oreo Double Stuff cookie! Her dam is Cookie. So it fits. The docility on the Declaration seems good also. That calf follows me everywhere, very curious. I suspect she will be on the show string next year, since she is bred and owned for my daughter. Here is a pic I took of her tonight: [img]http://i64.tinypic.com/345bfhj.jpg[/img] And Silver, I would love a few red ones in my herd. I even like the traditional Simmental markings. Sadly, bull buyers will not touch one with any body white out here, so I have to limit the old Simm look for my market. I have bred a Beef Maker x Angus cow to HPF Tradecraft for a fall 19 calf. Hoping to get red out of that. [/QUOTE]
