Hot pockets huh? Does this mean she will heat up YOUR pockets if you get too close?

Her everyday name is high pockets cause she's so tall and lanky but let her calve and she becomes Hot Pockets!

Need some help tagging one . Ole Hot Pockets calved yesterday also .

20 years ago i would have looked at her as a fun challenge. Especially when the calf was in the hay ring. But not anymore.

Promised a picture of the brangus cow . Don't know how old she is . We've had her about 5 years along with the Hereford's and black Brahma cow

Discovered this new one this morning. First calf heifer bred to our brangus momma son . We bred 4 to him and this is the second. Thinking he has earned to heifer bull job .

Love baldies !

My five year old granddaughter loves white face cattle, we sold our only Hereford bull last year, she is demanding we buy another one. Lol

When people come to pick out a bull calf or a heifer - they immediately migrate to the white face calves.

This is the first baldy replacement heifer that I kept & her first calf born 3 weeks ago. The other calf was born 1 week ago. All other cows are commercial black angus. I lease a bull every year & used a new registered Hereford for 2023. I'm in the DFW area & prefer calves be born in November but I was late getting the bull & will have Dec/Jan calves. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the baldy cattle or should just stick with black angus.

The baldy calves I sold in 2022 didn't bring as much as black angus calves have in the past. I did keep this one replacement heifer that I think looks pretty good. My 2023 calves were black angus but I decided to try a different hereford bull in 2023. Those calves are dropping now. Let's see how they grow.

It is hard for an owner/breeder to be able to criticize their own animals. "Maybe" the baldies weren't the quality of the solid black calves?

''Barn blind'' is the term used in my area. If you see them every day they are always normal.

Correct. Barn blind is the term I use. They "love" them and see no wrong. Just like a lot of the death warmed over skinny cattle posted on CL. People don't SEE how bad they are.

My baldie calves bring as much or even more than the solid black calves .

I honestly can look at one of my yearlings & think.."she looks good" but then see her in a different light & think.."she kind of looks like a pot belly pig". Here are 2 different 12 month old heifers.
