[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 721461, member: 97"] I'm always in a fog-- but today more so than ever... :lol: Couldn't even see the corrals or barn early this morning- waited til about 9 to do chores thinking it would lift... [b]When I went out to feed couldn't see many of the cows- but as I rolled out a bale- and honked the horn- they came appearing out of the pea soup..[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/dick/Oct-nov09001.jpg[/img] [b]Looking back at the yard- things appeared a little frosty...[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/dick/Oct-nov09002.jpg[/img] There has been some discussion on the boards about how folks winter their replacement heifers- and heres how I do mine...This came about by necessity a few years ago- when I still lotted and fed the heifers separate- but the snow got so deep I couldn't get into the lots for days- so just turned the heifers out with the cows...They did great- still reached the 750 or so breeding weight I wanted- took off good on grass- had a good breed up- seemed to socialize better with the older cows(not acting like nosey yearlings running fencelines and stuff).....So I just started wintering with the cows- like we used to years ago... I haven't done it long enough to make any judgements on longevity- but know I've had less feet problems- and less opens during 2nd and 3rd calving.. [b]A couple of the coming yearling heifers with some older cows...The one standing broadside in the center of the picture is WCR Mary 845U coming 2 year old Bannon of Wye daughter I bought last year..Hopefully she is bred to OCC Magnitude...[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/dick/Oct-nov09004.jpg[/img] [b]Lazy Bar B Leinie- a Bannon 730T daughter..
