[QUOTE="waihou, post: 620746, member: 6511"] High summer down here and our local agricultural Show was held over the weekend. Here is our cow and calf, she won the All breeds cow with calf at foot class, beat a 2 year old Simmental. She is a 6 year old with her 5th calf. The calf was born 4th August and on 15th Jan weighed 313kgs- about 690lbs? He has been gaining at 3.54lbs/day since birth. She has her faults but can sure convert grass into beef-no hard feed for either of them. We winter outside on hay, silage and pasture. We had 8 animals entered and all came home with a placing. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SUEC/horoshow2009xtra.jpg[/img] Here is a smart (we think!) July born heifer, also still on her mother, which won the heifer calf class. She weighed 626lbs on 15 Jan. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SUEC/horoshow2009012.jpg[/img] No fancy preparations here, just a shampoo at home the day before and a bum wash on the morning of the show. All very natural condition straight off the paddock. Just for a bit of added interest-we had a calf born on 12th Jan- he is rather out of season but his mum has calved late due to a lost calf 4 years ago and is coming back towards our normal calving time of July/Aug a month at a time. There is always a market for an out of season calf! Here he is at 12 hours old-he weighed 99lbs and is her 8th calf. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SUEC/13Jan001.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
