That is my kind of cow! Feminine, long,deep and thick. She is built to convert that nice grass to calf.

She is out of a full sister to the red long horned cow I've put pics of on here before. Wish I had 40 like her ! She has raised 2 calves twice in the last 5-6 years . Had a couple of orphans that she let nurse . Didn't see a difference in her calf .

Not enough ear.
But just the right amount of leather!

Funny now , his calves are showing some ears and the bulls too much leather for my liking. That's why we bought the bull , because he was pretty clean in the leather.

Interesting.
Now we NEED pics! Are they growing good? I bet they are

If a person had more money than sense it would be interesting to flush some of those good old commercial cows. We might end up with a bunch of good heifers or maybe just average. Would be an expensive way to increase your cow herd.

Easter bunny brought us another bull .

Another Brangus calf , and another bull of course .

9 total so far out of Mississippi Hippie, brangus bull . I'd say 14 more to go but saw him courting the old horn cow yesterday. So there will only be 22 from him if all are bred . She doesn't go in the corral even with feed so it'll take a trick to get her caught and loaded to go to the sale barn .

They say "sex sells". She might follow the bull in to the corral when she is looking for a bit.

Found an old pic of her . I advertised her as an organic cow , no additives. . She went in the portable catch pen the first year we got those cows . She either doesn't go in , or jumps or goes under the panels .

Brangus calves from this morning. Cows at hay ring for some reason ?

Best grass in years at this farm . Fertilizer had Grazon added to it . A little yellow top/ buttercup in low places but really clean otherwise.
