[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 861018, member: 16842"] Sunday I took the kids and we went to view Maple Hill Farms crop of fullbloods for this year. I buy them a heifer each year for the work they perform around the house and farm and this thus becomes their savings plan. As we visited with the Lewis's we went out in the pasture (several hundred acres) and he called the herd up, as they came up my daughter immediately selected another white heifer, a full sister to the one she had this year. My son finally settled on two heifers but couldn't make a final decision so he surprised me. He asked if he could take his money from picking peaches and spraying pumpkins for his uncle and buy a second one. I felt that was a sign of maturity since all his classmates are preparing to buy vehicles and spend their time going out. I know that its a whole lot harder to spend the money if its standing in the barnlot looking at you each day. Needless to say there was a July calf out of a Polled Exclusive daughter that I couldn't resist. So I guess our herd will have 4 more Fullblood Gelbviehs this year. [/QUOTE]
