[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 970857, member: 7509"] Thanks for the kind words, Aaron. The teats are a bit large because this picture was taken on 10/26 and I had just pulled her and the others calves off 2 days earlier on 10/24. She was still full of milk. I like her long, low structure. And she is always right around 1250 lb when they go across the scale. Alan, not being able to objectively cull cattle that have been named is one reason I have vowed to only use numbers. It would be hard to take Molly to the weighup sale, especially since she was given her name by #1 granddaughter. Daughter & family live a long ways away and don't get here very often but when they do come next summer I know the first creature that #1 granddaughter is going to run out of the house to go see is Molly. I am pretty well resigned to the fact Molly will probably be buried here someday. I hope she can be as long lived as Dun's, but whenever, she is not going to the sale. We are just not going to name any others.... Again the udder is better now that she has dried up. Don't they all get a big bag and teats at weaning, especially the good milkers? Now that you mention it, some Mar-Apr calving cows had almost self weaned by Oct 24th. Molly kept nursing her calf though. That is probably why she always weans a calf over 50% of her weight at weaning and in a better grass year, close to 60%. I'll take a cow that milks all the way to 205 day avg weaning any day.
