I was not sure where to put this..but we are commercial breeds and sooo.....We culled a few cows this year and kept the calves, so some of our girls are doing extra duty.
This was our prototype, Lucy, we bought her in March 2000 at 550lbs so Im guessing she is pushing 9, she has had 6 bull calves and expect another next May, she is currently feeding 2 calves, didn't get that picture tho
We kept a bull from Lucy and the calves are out of him. We did come close to repeating her making her better:
Here is my imbalancer, doing her job, this is our smallest cow with her 2nd calf and and extra (the red one) she is feeding, July calves
One of our first calf heifers doing her job, calf was born 5/27, momma probably weighs 1200lbs
A group of our cows:
This is the sick calf I had this spring born in April:
His FAT momma
Some calves:
what color would you like?
getting ready for winter here, took some shots when the sun was shining donna
edited to fix picture links & to change title on the first calf heifer
