[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1357485, member: 20754"] Last year, we got over 80 inches of rain, when the norm is between 30 and 35 inches. The creek that borders our property rose out of its banks and our river bottom was under 6 or 8 feet of water. It brought millions of seeds into the pastures. We have always called this plant "water weed", but I do not know the proper term for it. The cattle will not eat it, but sheep will strip the plant of its leaves. We have not had calves yet out of the bulls I mentioned above. We are due to have AI calves from Balmoral Elation, JOPA Elation Power, and Cadella Park Golden Boy next March. We have had three calves from Cadella Park Golden Boy (sire of 506 heifer), a bull calf from Monterey Marshall (kept intact and sold as a herd bull), and a heifer out of MCC Trigger's Champion (we will retain her to continue to grow our numbers). Below are photos of Golden Boy, Trigger's Champion, and Monterey Marshall. All three of these bulls were born in the 1970s and 1980s. We haven't had many calves from any of them yet, but we have been extremely pleased with these first few that have hit the ground. Cadella Park Golden Boy- He goes back to some of the great bulls in the Murray Grey breed, including Thologolong Caesar. He had a weight of 2,330 lbs at 4 1/2 years of age. In 1974, at 26 months of age, he became the first Grand Champion Murray Grey bull at the first National Murray Grey Show and Sale.

We really like his capacity, length, and his dark coloration. We want to add a bit more of that dark coloration into our herd. His scrotal circumference looks really small here, but it was quite cold when the photo was taken; I have two other photos of him and his scrotal circumference is absolutely fine.
