Thanks every one
I got blue winter 07' he was way over advertised. The couple had about six horses in the sale The two they showed were awsome horses really well rounded. One was a heading horse and the other worked both ends. I thought they would be out of my price range and they were. So I picked up blue with seeing him in the ring and knowing who was saleing him. Real easy going loaded good traveled good. Got home took a few days adjusting. When I saddled him up he was all jittery and wild. I think he just spent a long time in the pasture. When I first started working the cows with him he would track one and leave the rest. He didn't realize we weren't in an arena. Anyways spent the summer working him and he has worked out really well. moves of leg pressure good has a nice stop. Mostly likes working the cows. He can get a little moody when we exercise in the arena. Mostly he has a good head on him. Doesn't get to excited. If your really curious I can look up his breeding.
703 is from the Churchill Cattle in MT. He has L1 genetics all over his Pedigree but I don't think he is full L1. His Registered name is Churchill Ram 703 if you want to look it up. I was really impressed with him; Dale said he has a nice hindend and he was right. I am really excited to see his offspring. I have some Holden bred cows and some 1/4 sister heifers I am breeding him to. If all goes well I will have some double breed CJH L1 Domino 552 calves next year.
As for Heelers I love them; but you better have something for them to do.
Today I checked on my Heifers; I set Boss up to turn the girls up the hill when I pushed them to him. Got about two hundred yard or so away looked back and Boss was gone. Looked around and seen a flash as he was running from a coyote. I thought that the last I'll see of him. Got back to the truck and Boss was waiting in the truck. I gave him lots of lovin. Good boy good boy.
KNERSIE have you always lived in Africa?
YOu horse sounds like mine...when I put her in a herd, she gets this crazy
- >>>>"which one do I go for" waggle to her head..<<<
getting better though, glad your guy is settling into work and working well for you. Nothing beats a good ranch horse..
My dogs dont like the coyotes, my female heeler is smaller and she scared off a much bigger coyote. My heelers would be looking for the rankest, muddiest, stinkiest stock pond they could find if I took them out to the pasture..then they'd roll and waller like hogs..
