OK, throwing myself out here. Thought I would post a few pics of our small herd. Here we go...
The first two shots is our only spring bull, since we cut the rest. He is a late Feb, embryo calf sired by Triple C Invasion and an old Blackfoot cow for the dam. He was less than 80 pounds at birth (can not remember exact weight right now) and has been the top gainer. His biggest fault? He has too much leather up front, but I think he will be a pounds bull for sure! His recip is a 1200 pound cow, 3 years old, and see how big he is next to her?
This next pic is a two year old half blood simm by BC Lookout. Her calf is the little white faced steer laying in front of her. Her calf got cut, nothing special to us, but she is doing a great job raising him. She is carrying an heifer embryo by Steel Force x Lady 1U. We are real excited about this one! She is not due till the very end of January.
Just a shot from the pasture. We had an inch of much needed rain fall last night, so today was a very pretty day! I can not wait until everything greens up!
Another pretty shot. This cow is due in about 7 days with another embryo; it would be a flushmate heifer to the heifer that won the MO State Fair Simmental show. Eagerly awaiting this one also. We know it is a heifer, now we hope it has a white blaze and red! Sire is Built Right and dam is L202. This cow calved a bull flushmate to this mating for us two years ago, a black white faced bull that sold in our state sale for $2900 in the Spring.
Just to show you not every calf works out, this is another embryo calf by Harker's Domination x Zeis Ms Zel (Time Burke donor). He is broken behind his shoulders, roached in his top to name a few faults (breech, over 90 pounds...) He got cut, but is not weaned yet (5 months old). Not sure if one of the kids is going to show him as a steer next year or the baldy steer...
This is a two year old due to calve in October to a Cherry red Amigo son we had (and sold in the state sale in the Spring). We are hoping for a soggy heifer, since the bull was extra soggy and the heifer is NOT!
Another almost 2 year old by Top Flight, carrying a heifer calf by Motecito (flush mate to Optimus Prime). We picked this heifer up at the Shoal Creek sale last fall.
And last cow shot, an embryo heifer calf sired by Pacesetter and dam a Drake cow. We have several half sibs to this calf on both sides, and love them all! My middle child will show this heifer next year. She has her faults (extra leather to name one!), but she has a jewel of an attitude and will make a great cow.
An a parting shot, our horses that we do absolutely NOTHING with any more!
