[QUOTE="regolith, post: 846877, member: 9267"] It's fun though, and it's pouring rain, and I'm wondering if MF will try to tell me number 31 is an Angus and it's simply flukey that she's my top production cow and was leased out last year and was the top cow in the lessee's herd as well. But you're right, I should be down at the cowshed putting new teats in the feeders and trying not to get soaked every time I run between the sheds. I'm getting there... I've another thread kicking around now about grass-feeding calves - I don't analyse the pasture, I just raise the calves. TDN isn't a measure we really use in this country, I just give the young calves the best grass available and am happy enough with the results. Here's one of those calves from the group I posted - she won't have been in that image I doubt, because she was one of the last-born that year: [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/398_june_2011.JPG[/img] Good enough udder for a 'beef' cow?: [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/31_March_10.JPG[/img] What breed do you think she is MF? Angus? Simm? Gelbvieh? What about 398 above? Maybe she's got a touch of Braunvieh - there might be a bit of it floating around in my herd. Or Galloway? It's always fun to see what turns up from a cross. I'll make a new thread just for you MF135 - that rain is coming down in sheets and 'guess the breed' sounds like a fun way to avoid it. edit - which university is that MF? I'm gunna tell 361 she's an 'ox' :lol: [/QUOTE]
