[QUOTE="simme, post: 1812727, member: 40418"] I am just an old guy with a few hobby cows that I enjoy watching. My motivation around the cows is mainly the enjoyment of having new calves and watching them develop. I get almost as much enjoyment from those few cows as [USER=39373]@MurraysMutts[/USER] does from his nurse cows and baby calves. Probably without working as hard at it as Murray does. The 600U bull calf is the third calf from one of my cows. Her second calf was sired by HC Powerdrive, a bull born in Bean Station, TN in 1998. There is a post in 2020 when I used my last straw of powerdrive semen to breed their dam. At that time, [USER=8993]@kenny thomas[/USER] asked "how much if it is a bull calf?". My answer was "Two rifles, two pistols, one metal rooster, and a rebuilt Stihl chainsaw." That one turned out to be a heifer, so I still have her. She is one of the bred heifers that Kenny mentioned and will calve in 5 weeks. I already got most of my reward just from the experience of getting the cow settled to that last 600U straw, lifting his slimy tail at birth to see that it was a bull calf, and getting him weaned. Kenny is an experienced cattle trader, so I just hope he lets me recover the cost of the semen. :) I think it was $20 when it was purchased. That's the story on the cow's last two calves. Her first calf was a bull that sold in the Clemson bull test sale. Here is the thread with the story of how this calf came to be and the enjoyment that two old men have had with it.
