Blaze faced cow I was referring to is out of an ABS bull called Optimiser that was popular 7-8 years ago . AI tech bred 9-10 cows to angus bull for us and we were 1 straw short so I told him to use a Hereford bull . He had taken all his Hereford semen out of his tank but had this blaze faced black simmental bull so we did it . Got 3 angus calves and that one . One of our last try's at AI

This baldy steer was born on a -5 degree morning last January. B said he is going to lose his ears, but he didn't. He is now close to 600 pounds and has both ears.

I have several others in this bunch but I think he is the oldest. They do good here too.

I have never seen a relationship between blaze face cattle and temperaments. And I have had a LOT of blaze faces over the 50+ years.

Hadn't paid much attention to this older calf in the Hereford pasture but very similar to the new one . 
I's take a pasture full like that any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Hereford cow and which bull?

These are still out of the one we sold , the Deer Valley All In son . Think I'm going to regret not keeping more heifers out of him . There are 4 older ones that are close to weaning and a couple of younger ones including the pretty one I posted the pic of . One of the older ones is out of the little cow my son calls Salt and Pepper. First heifer she's had out of 6-7 calves since he owned her .

Probably noticed the water tank in the background. Moved the commercial/ Hereford herd across the road from the bluff pasture this week . Water hole/ pond is dried up so carrying water to that herd while they graze the old mule pasture of the fella we rent from . Think a week to 10 days and we'll move them back .

Got over an inch of rain this evening , praise the Lord !
We git one for about 20 mins about dark. I am going to get that 5th cutting off my " horse hay" bermuda field after all. The past 3 weeks we have hit just the right combo of occasional evening showers and hot sunny days. Was planning on laying it down at about 10 in the morning, and I doubt that little rain will cause me to have to wait til later in the day. It will be down by dinner( lunch) and after we eat, I will fluff it one time, That is what people here call tedding...fluffing.. and you do it with a fluffer not a tedder!! I use "Haybines": Pull behind disc mowers with rollers to condition it. Will fluff it again Sunday morning, and by Sunday evening it may be dry enough to bale. If not I will turn it again and rake & bale it Monday. I need about 200 more square bales for horses, and gonna roll the rest for Dan for his brood mares.

First rain we've had in August and on the one farm the first significant rain in over 2 months. Told the owner he was going to have to pay the preacher better .
We got more that I thought we did on that hayfield My house is about 14 miles from it, and that spot got a lot more rain than here at the house. So, gonna look at it about 4PM, and if it is still too wet I will just cut Sunday.
