Just starting out (photos)

A few informal photos. Not the best poses but do they look like beef cattle?

From mid-May to mid-September we only got 3.5 inches of rain. At times the tall fescue sprigs were only 3-4 inches tall and 12 to 18" apart. We had a good crop of wooly croton weeds though. They haven't had any hay and the only time they had feed was when guests wanted them to come to the back fence so they could get a closer look at them. I would rattle on the gate and dump 5-6 pounds of whole corn on the ground to be shared among them all. A sack of corn usually lasted a month or so.

OOPS!! How do I make the pictures big?

I wouldn't dump feed on the bare ground. They'll go after the last morsel while getting grit in their teeth and grinding them away. Dump that feed in a half barrel or something.

Those pics are fine and load fast.

Thanks for the advice. I'll get several.

The reason I put it on the ground was to keep the more aggressive animals from getting it all. If they were hogging everything the others wouldn't stay around long enough for a good look.
