Looks like his back legs are working better than his fronts now.. but this is an improvement.. hope it continues, he's a nice looking guy!

However have a new bull calf born tonight. He's Limousine sired out of 1/4x (Angus, BB, Salers, dairy) 6th calver. He's a pretty big boy, ~120lbs or so. Cow calved on her own. He's already showing serious muscles, so can't await to see him growing.
Other cows are preparing to calve too. The one which had a huge calf last year also is near. However the most exciting thing is that two heifers incalf to our new Limousine bull are near too. Hopefully they'll calve in a couple weeks.

Looks promising!Nesikep":7hze1kyw said:Looks like a good line, sure are meaty. I have 2 heifers this year that are super meaty, both from my homeraised bull, and 2 steer calves that are nearly identical, one from the Limo bull, and one from the homeraised bull
She's young here, but you see it.. she's darned near twice as wide as some of the others.
We had very wet and cold spring this year, so grass wasn't growing much. We had two fields where we left our hay bales. When came in april to bring them home, saw that there were almost no left (from 40+) and that hay was very good quality. Bales in another field were untouched, but were very bad quality and cows almost refused to eat it. I haven't seen girls for a week and during that time most had lost at least 100lbs. Have let them out that weekend, but grass wasn't very big, so have to move them quite often to the new pasture.Nesikep":13hy8xqa said:Mine only went out on grass this week.. I had fairly good hay, but it just isn't as good as grass.. I just didn't have my camera with me today when the 4 yearling heifers were all standing side by side, all facing the same way.. it would have been a good one
