Pasture herd pictures

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Just thought I would post a few pics of part of our herd out on pasture

And here's an updated pic of Macho with my Dad - just before his 86th birthday. My dad is born & raised CITY (so was I) and he was so excited to be "near" such a huge animal :lol:

Couldn't resist getting a new pic of Macho.
Not looking for comments - just wanted to share.

Thanks guys/gals. I had an 8x10 pic blown up for my dad. He has shown it to everyone. Had a copy made & it's on the bulletin board of a local store. He lives in Missouri - and believe it or not - he's still working. DRIVES to Springfield, Ill each week. Has been sent to Japan for the company twice in the last 3-4 years. Wish my body was in as good a shape as his - he doesn't have arthritis - I inherited that from my mom.

That's 3rd time grazing that field. As green as our grasses are, we're bone dry. Got 0.1 inch last night of rain. Desperately need it.

Well, we're heading to Louisville EARLY in the morning to the Simmental Sweepstakes. Showing off some of Macho's calves. Just got back from a small county fair to "break the kids in".

Jeanne, The trees and grass could pass for being in Tennessee. You have a very nice herd, and a very nice bull. I like the picture you took of your Dad with the bull. I know he is proud of him. The bull and your Dad look so calm! Sometimes I have to think how such a large animal lets us lead them around with a rope on their head.

I just re-looked at the pics I posted and realized - none of the calves are in the pics - they must have stayed in the woods. They were all in the woods - so I called them & they were all parading out when I took the pics. Will have to take more pics with calves in them.

Macho is 2 1/2 years old in pic. Have our first calf crop out of him this spring. Dragging 4 calves to shows right now. Just got back from Louisville.

There were 180 head from the "who's who" in the Simmental business.
Took a 1st (Res. Div Ch) with bull calf (by default - no competition in his age). Took 2nd with a 2-15-05 heifer, than took 2nd with same calf & 2 year old dam. C/c that beat her ended up Res Grand Chmp C/C. There were 10 - 2yr old pairs.
Took 3rd with Dec 8, 04 heifer and took 8th with a 1-26-05 heifer.
All in all, we were thrilled. Thanks for asking.
