Replacement heifers Dec 4, 2018

[Silver]

Took a little walk around with the camera. I think they were confused because I wasn't carrying pails. I'm happy enough with the way they are growing.

Those look great silver. Really like the dark red. What kind of bull are you putting in with these?

Thanks! They will get Simmie R/A cross bulls when the time comes.

They really look GOOD. They are in perfect BCS, IMO.
I notice a few with horns showing. Will you dehorn, or you let your cows have horns?

Horns will come off when I brand them in the spring. If I do this just before calving so it's still fresh in my mind I will do a better job with the paste as the new ones are born.

Hard to say really. They are just commercial mutts. I have some bulls with some Fleck in them so it's possible.

Thanks. The oldest calf in the group could be close to nine months, the youngest a little over seven months, by my math. Started calving Mar 10.

Finally got the heifers branded and some horns knocked off today between snow squalls and rain showers. I think they came through the winter in pretty good shape, they quit getting their 4-5 lbs of grain as of Mar 1.
For some reason the crooked necked heifer just had to be in the picture and stands out like a sore thumb. She somehow hurt herself at weaning time and must have done some nerve damage.
