[QUOTE="whitewing, post: 797231, member: 14975"] She was loaded in the truck and headed for slaughter when I saw her one night parked in front of this guy's meat market. It was dark out but I still liked her looks...big and square....perfect for crossing with my Charolais bulls. And I swore I could see a calf kicking away as she stood there. This was the first week of November. Anyway, I asked the guy what he wanted for her. He said she was a young cow that he'd picked up with a group of cattle and really didn't want to slaughter her and that I could have her for 3,000 bolivares (or $375.00 using the black market exchange rate). I liked the price because most sellers here ask 6,000 bolivares and up for decent mestizo cows. We did the deal and the next day she was at my place. [img]http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/Whitewing_album/100_2463.jpg[/img] Just last week the boys told me she was "filling up" and sure enough, this past Tuesday she dropped this little fellow, 58 pounds at birth. [img]http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/Whitewing_album/100_2452.jpg[/img] Decent udder and so far her milk production seems to be excellent. [img]http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/Whitewing_album/100_2466.jpg[/img] I'd sure like to buy some more cows at that price and have 'em drop a calf a month later. :D [/QUOTE]
