Here is a whole bunch more photos of the cows out swath grazing. And some of the backgrounding calves we bought this fall...
A bit different looking than a couple weeks ago....
A swath that they've dug out.
Digging it up
Cows were sunning themselves this morning
3 cows we just bought,
5 year old. Guy sold her because she throws grey calves when bred black, apparently raises a darn good calf though...
6 year olds, sold because they have sand cracks in their feet.
Some of our rising 3 year olds... The Heifer's calves averaged 542 lbs @ adjusted 205 day weights. They did pretty good.
A couple bred heifers
One we raised, I think she is going to get too big, and the only reason she is in the herd, is that she was lame both when we sold calves last fall and when we sold our yearlings this spring. She's bred now, so we'll see how she does, her mama is a decent enough cow.
One we bought.
A rising 12 year old cow. Not the top cow as far as raising a big calf, but one of those cows that just does her job, without you ever really noticing her...
