About time for you to do something. I heard all you have done this summer was lay in the shade. :lol:
Good luck with calving. Going to be tough on them in this heat.

Yep Kenny, it's gonna be rough on him having to go to work.

Why does anyone want to calve in the lazy days of summer? It's hot out, even though the nights are gonna' cool off soon, there's too much grass so you don't get to feed hay, and nothing uses your calving barns, so they're useless. Sure will be glad to see Feb. and calve like a normal person. gs

Naw it won't be too hard just drive thru the pastures checking and when I find one make the gate opener get out and tag it, now and then if a momma trys to slobber in her pockets I might get out and keep it from wollering her plum into the ground but that don't happen but a couple time a season

Let us know if she feels the same way after her concussion wears off!

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

Just gotta no why a man with a bulldozer would leave a stump in the feild?? Have heard you have been demoted to gate opener and calf catcher till that stump is gone and her truck is fixed.

Don't really know why the stump was there and NO I haven't been demoted :lol: :lol:

 

[kenny thomas]

You will probably be ok until you hit the stump again next time though the field. I bet the dozer comes out then.

 

[Angus Cowman]

well #3 popped out this afternoon almost done :lol: :lol:

I am sure glads my calving season don't start til the 20th

 

[Angus Cowman]

well calving season sure hasn't started to good for me had 3 live healthy ones, set of twins dead,another healthy one,then a deformed one this morning and another healthy one this afternoon so a 37.5% death loss so far
sure hope it gets better on the next 150 or so

 

[Angus Cowman]

74% calving complete in 34 days looks like my bulls done good
Now if I could just get the rest of them hfrs to calve that were bred to that Queer Arkansas bull I would be doing better
looks like he bred a few then got lazy and had to go rest awhile nothing out of him in the last 10 days
I figgered at least them flatland Arkies were good at reproducing :lol: :lol:

 

[JustSimmental]

Started calving heifers on 9/12 and cows begin a cycle later. First calf this year was a purebred simmental heifer:

CE: 13.9; BW: -3.4; WW: 49.4; YW: 85.9; MCE: 4.8; MM: 5.6; BF: -.01 Marb: 0.54; REA: 0.24; CW: +11.3
API = 140 TI = 86 (Top 1% for PB Simmental across the board)

We'll see ya in the show ring.
