[QUOTE="creekdrive, post: 1333485, member: 21216"] Have slowly been getting a few pairs out to pasture. Not much grass growing yet (it's there, but just needs a shot of rain and it would take right off I think). So trying to put a few pairs here & there so as not to set the grass back too much if we don't get rain... Have close to 40 pairs out so far and will get another 25 more out today hopefully. I'm sort of fussy about which cows go with which bull too (always trying to find a combination that really clicks to get the best calf possible) which slows up the process a little more too. The boss is always giving me a hard time about how much faster if it would be if I didn't do all this matchmaking, even though he knows it makes a difference. Took a few pictures yesterday and thought I would share some. These are all RA cows & calves [img]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag51/creekdrive/IMG_6111sm_zps7ysophib.jpg[/img] These girls looked at me to see if I had anything for them and then screwed right off... Guess they aren't taking any chances in being caught and forced to eat hay again lol Hard to see but there is a hotwire behind them keeping them out of the hay crop in the background. [img]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag51/creekdrive/IMG_6114sm_zpslvm4cztj.jpg[/img] The other half of this group. Cows are starting to shed off their winter hair, but they are still looking pretty scruffy at this point.
