Our boy, 3-year old Homer, lovin' up on one of the new Balancer heifers, taken last week. He's Angus and Hereford cross; his sire is registered Angus out of Cedar Ridge and Full Power:



Here's another shot, taken last fall:



This bottle baby is his first calf, out of a Beefmaster/Angus cow:

Resource x EXT bred to produce replacements. One of his first daughters. Can't wait to get more. I only bred him to a handful because of bw concerns. Got two daughters. Using him to clean up this year.

I stepped out onto the front poach to let the dog out the other morning still in my pj's and a pair of flip flops. The coming two year olds were up at the fence and I just had to snap a couple photos, I love seeing black cattle on green grass. Came in looking for my morning caffeine and the boss yells we got bulls out, I started to argue with him I said they can't be out I just snapped a photo. He said not the two year olds the yearling! So this old girl was out helping round up bulls in flip flops and pj's. The lighting storms play heck on electric fencing lucky for us it was just a fuse.

Beautiful place, great cattle and green grass. We are in a severe drought.

Thank you this is the home place we bring the bulls here to develop. We have been blessed with an abundance of rain. I am sure praying for you folks suffering this drought. Feel guilty having all this grass while friends are feeding hay 140 miles from us.

I am super nervous about hurricane season this year the Gulf temps are already very warm my son went over by boat to watch the Blues last week and he told me temps ranged from 87 to 91. The warmer the Gulf the stronger the storms so kinda scary. We have had droughts here and they have been bad but living this close to the gulf helps break them I think. It did get so dry once I had to carry five gallon buckets of water to water the ground rods so the electric fence would work.

I saw this when you posted it and it triggered an incomplete memory. So I had to cogitate over it for a while to remember what I've heard about high tail heads.

I hung around with a guy quite a while ago that made his living inseminating cows. One day he was inseminating a Brown Swiss I'd brought home as an experiment, and he mentioned that the breed tended to have high tail heads... and some problems from them. He told me that the high set allows contaminants to enter the vagina on the females, causing breeding issues. So not a problem with bulls/steers... but a potential issue with cows/heifers.

In a terminal circumstance where all calves are going to slaughter, no problem. Otherwise, be advised... for what it's worth.

I like the bull... but I trust the guy I hung around with. He'd had plenty of experience breeding cows.

Had a mare with that problem.kept infections..
