my first heifers

[frieghttrain]

Makes sence. The other one is shorter right? You still feeding them grain?

 

[ez14]

Yeah they will get grain tell just before they calve the grain has all their minerals in it so when i stop feeding grain i`ll need to start giving minerals (i was going to stop feeding grain about now but there was a mix up at the mill and they sent me a lot more grain then i orderd so they will get it if my math is right tell just before they calve)

They are very close in height but the #9 is wider

They got bred this morning then kicked out to greener grass

the grass is waist high

This is the grass they just came from

 

[frieghttrain]

Heck yeah! Nice grass/clover mix dude, that steer is looking nice :clap: P.S hope they settle for you

yup! His calving ease seems good (didn't see it happen so I'm not sure how long it took) now it's time to see if the rest of his traits are as good as they say

Well the calf doesn't seem hungry so it must be getting enough milk

What kind of nerve damage? And from what?

well best we can figure is she slipped did the splits and pinched a nerve! i went out to do chores one morning and seen her laying on her side in the pasture moaning called the vet out and gave some dexamethasone (for a few days) and worked with her for a while but she wasn't getting better
