[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1810589, member: 40587"] Oh, I won't be fooling with them much at all, and will probably only see them once a month or so when I go down to the Kudzu place. Scott will have to do the work of teaching Zeke how to raise bottle babies off of nurse cows! Vet was out this morning., and she wormed them, gave them some kind of vitamin shop, some vaccines ( dunno what..she told me but I didnt focus, so don;t remember...I had my mind on Smoke) and did an exam. She said they were fine to breed, and fairly healthy considering the worm load. Just keep on feeding them my magic formula! She said she would come back when I was ready and give them shots to put them in heat, if I wanted to., then AI them for me: To just let her know when the semen arrived. But Dan came over to get some meds from her, and to check on Smoke, and he told us he still had some sexed, polled Brahma semen in the tank from when he AI'ed those Braunvieh x Brown Swiss recip cows he traded to me for finishing Frank. I had made up 100 lbs of my special mix,. and as soon as they are 1/2 done with that batch I will run them and the rest of the mix over to Dan's place. He has head gates, squeeze chutes and all that right there in the breeding barn. about 5 miles away. Then when Dan has them confirmed bred, I will take them down to Scott and Zeke. Yes, they are gentle as a lap dog. so not worried about them hurting Zeke. They will calve in April, and yes, I figured we might add one more to them that 1st year, maybe 2. LIke you said, we will just have to watch how they are milking and maintaining condition.
