Tried the upload function this time but it only would allow 3 pics...

 

[Jogeephus]

Nice calves. What do you do with the donkeys? I'm sure those eared mommas don't need protection from anything.

 

[Proverbs 12:10]

About half the calves are showing a brindle look already but probably none of those made the pics. The donks are pets of the wife and daughters...otherwise they'd be on a plate in Paris!

 

[ALACOWMAN]

those are my kinda cattle right there.... those babbies are marked up like simbrahs though

 

[texast]

YES!!! Those are some really nice calves.The mothers look really nice as well. Are those reg.Brahmans? Thats the direction I want to head in with mammas that look like yours.

 

[bigbull338]

those are some great looking tigers.looks like they are growing like weeds as well.

 

[Proverbs 12:10]

These are all reg. brahmans bred to a reg. polled hereford bull. So far it's nearly an even split bull/heifer calves. All calves have been under 75 pounds.

 

[ALACOWMAN]

nice cattle. id did the same thing years ago,but got to be too expensive. and the market was'nt as good here..it was looking more like a hobby, then the hobby it was :lol:

I don't have a pic of the bull except on my old PC that crashed. When I get a chance I'll take a new one and post.

You are correct...it is expensive going this route. I have looked at going to AI with sexed-semen to improve the numbers. Years with more heifers sure help!

that is the way id get back in it. though you can off set the steers discounts with the heifer's. it seem that the cows you want the most heifer's from have bulls.

It would help if the brammer replacement heifers were not so high dollar...especially if you are selective in what you buy. I have also thought about finishing out the steers and marketing the beef myself. The quality yield on the few we have done is not reflected at the sale barn.
