[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1791900, member: 39373"] I post a lot about my projects, but my main girls don't get much attention. Aside from when they calve. I've posted em in the respective bulls thread. So here they are! Home herd here..... This is Rocket. I raised her from a 400lb heifer. I've told the story before, but here it is anyway. She was delivered to me in exchange for allowing hay to be cut on our place. My first ever bovine!! When she was delivered, they said.... Are you ready for a rocket? Before they let her out of the trailer. Now all I had at the time was a single strand of hot wire. Needless to say, it was interesting. She came out ok. Settled down in a nice grassy spot. Several hours later tho......... She was NOT weaned. I chased her rotten arse 5 miles that day!! Had to rope her after she done wore herself out. There's even a pond named after her down the road. The rocket pond. Yep. They can swim even at 400lbs Good times! Good times! Here's Rocket. My sweet girl. She's coming with her 8th [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230305_115618.jpg"]26974[/ATTACH] Now here is her first born. Rowdy Rowdy had troubles with her first calf. And I spent 3 weeks!! grafting an orphan on her, but by gawd she raised it! Rebel, Rockets 3rd, is at my lease place. I'll get pics of her later. She also had problems with her first calf. (Wrong bull used) We don't keep any heifers out of Rocket anymore. Here's Rowdy! Her daddy was full mini dexter. Hard to tell huh? [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230305_115538.jpg"]26975[/ATTACH] Next we got Brown Cow. Or #9, the one with the hat! Shes chi-angus and I have a half sister to her at my other place. Their sire was a percentage chianina named Otto. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230305_115546.jpg"]26978[/ATTACH] Next we have Ditto, or #11 Ditto is Brown Cows first born. She's by a son of Total Recall. And her birthday is same day as mine..... and my wife's! Ha!! That's why we call her Ditto. Gentlest natural cow in my herd aside from her mother. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230305_115556.jpg"]26979[/ATTACH] Everyone knows Seven.... The Original bottle baby! [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230305_115633.jpg"]26980[/ATTACH] I have 2 up n comers now. Val, who is Bessies 2nd calf, sired by Richard. And 9-6 is Brown Cows current calf. Also sired by Richard. The only cow to have 2 calves by him!! Brown Cow is a breeder!! 9-5 is Brown Cows last calf. She is with Big Sexy at the lease place now. I'll get some pics over there later. But they both look very similar!

Even tho they ain't long term. Goldie and Willow the beltie [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230305_111120.jpg"]26986[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20230305_115819.jpg"]26987[/ATTACH] Goldie may or may not get to hang around. She's ok. But I bought her to re-sell really. Sometimes they earn their stay tho. Willow just makes me giggle. Idk what I'm gonna do with her, but she's looking better for sure. As u can see, most of my replacements/herd expanders came from my own cows. To be continued..... [/QUOTE]
