Remember Red Skelton, he would say, "You, sir, are a mean, mean , mean man." Kris, "You are a mean, mean, mean pretty lady."
I will keep the black baldie cow. Even if I don't use her as a recipient of embryos. This is her first calf. I bought her late last fall for $1600 bred. I need mouths right now. The calf looks better than the pictures show. They were either on that gravel which hurts their feet or pooping, peeing, or moving and I was not getting the pictures I wanted. The calf has good feet. I looked at that picture and I see what you mentioned. Don't judge on that pic. I plan to sell the other two heifer calves based on your evaluation but I will keep this one.
The big ribbed cow over the electric fence is out of the Rocking P herd. She was a mate to Star's Dam. She is built like Star who you like. I knew you would like her. In fact, she is a bigger version of Star. She is Simangus and not registered. She and Star's Dam were my first two bred heifers from Keith Phillip. She will calf 2/26/14. Casper is the Sire.
You stated, "Also, is she the owner of that great looking rump in the last photo? If so, I REALLY like her! This is a really nice rump! I had a hard time looking at the grass when that rump was there saying "vavoom!" to me!!!"
No surprise about liking her. She is one of my two HPRP registered percentage Simmentals. Half and Half simangus. Remember the cow I put up with the big udder. Here:
So you will take New Day! Well I got a confession, she is not New Day. Her Sire is JF Milestone 999W. My fault. Her grandsire on her Dam's side is Boyd Beef Maker. I got that mixed up when Keith was verbally providing me the pedigree. But don't be too hard on me, I can remember their registration numbers off the top of my head if I look at them and fix the sequence in a visual picture. The old brain is still pretty good at 63. If I am interested in something, I can take a snap-shot of it and retain it in my head. I did that with insects, snakes, etc. when I was taking classes in college. Here is New Day:
So here is how this ends: If something should ever happen that I would make a choice to disperse my herd, I would be honored and indebted to you if you would take MY Star. I know how well you and yours take care of your cattle. Like me, your cattle are more than slabs of meat walking on four legs. Star shall never endure mistreatment, she does not know what it is. Imagine that!!! I raised her after her mother died and she is bonded to me as dearly as a person. I will ship her to Missouri and she will be yours!
