Photos from the last few days

[randiliana]

Well, it was a little cooler here today. Just +3 C for a high here today, rather than +12C. Absolutely unreal weather for this country! Usually we are -30 about this time of the year. Whatever the case, I have to say I love the weather, makes for easy feeding, and the cattle are of course all doing really, really well. Calves are growing like weeds, heifers are happy and the cows, are still out grazing part time...They are only getting about 2/3 of the feed that they would usually get, and they are looking awesome!

Plus I've been able to do some riding in this lovely weather. The only problem is the ice, but it is almost all gone now too!



Anyways, here's some photos from the past few days....

Bred Heifers
Shorthorn x Angus (Coyote should recognize these ones... lol)

Some of the other Bred heifers

One we raised

One of the ones we are custom feeding and calving...

The cow herd

One of the colts I'm working with, and, no she didn't work that hard, she just doesn't like being left alone, at all....

Wow Randi great pictures.

That filly looks like the time the old crooked racehorse trainer I worked for "Shot the Hop" to a horse too early and he looked like that in the Saddling Paddock.

Great pics Randi. Weather has been great here too, was 70f here today and is 60f at 8M.

I really enjoy seeing your photos, not only for the views of your beautiful surroundings, but more so for the glimpse into a way of life so different from mine.

Very nice photos and cattle.

I'm by Spokane looking out at dry ground and warm after years of record snow. Sounds like the entire west is this way.

While it is nice to work in, I hope there's water in the well next summer.

I also wonder if less hay needs to be fed, if hay prices will be lower next year.

Nice Cattle

Thanks guys. The weather is unbelievable. A little more like normal this morning, but still pretty warm. I'm not so worried about a drought yet. The creeks are still running and the dugouts are all full of water. And as long as we get some moisture by the end of April we should have a good spring. I'm a little more concerned that we are going to get winter weather in March and April when everyone is calving. We can deal with it, but I'd rather have winter now than then...

Thanks for posting those Randiliana, beautiful country, cows and horse. We too are having this weird winter, just a light dusting of snow on the ground vs a gajillion inches last year!

Your cattle are looking good this year Randy. Looking at your pictures through the years I definately see an improvment in your herd. They are looking fat and sassy like big bull says. Always love your pictures.

Same thing here Misty, no snow at all, after last year.....

Thanks,
Donna

Randi, I have two cows like the one that is black with a white face and black around the eyes. I call one big black eyes and the other little black eyes. Nice cattle!

Thanks, Inyati, we have several with the goggle eyes.
