Some Cattle Pics

[Northern Rancher]

Here's an old red angus bull we used to run-he's about ten years old in that picture-we bought him from Dylan Biuggs at Coronation, Alberta-he was the high gaining bull on his grass test that year. The bull worked till he was 13 and never saw a mouth full of grain.

I bought these baldies from an A'I customers of mine-straight F1's out of purebred horned hereford heifers-I never could get his hereford heifers bought at Fraser's sale.

Not sure what her epd's would be but I can make a living with cows like this.

A.I. chutes are for sissies-I've probably bred 10,000 plus cows A'I but this was the first one at the end of a forty footer-that's a much younger Ty running the rope-she stuck by the way lol.

A six month old calf out bale grazing with the cows-they lick snow for water-we'll wean when we get some melt in the spring and the calves will stay out on pasture-really don't like hauling manure out of pens.

The cows can milk pretty strong off these native meadows-this would be in midseptember-we calve over here too-pretty much impossible to check on them regular-big deepmuskeg cuts them off from the east-it's about a ten or twelve mile ride to come around from the other way-good days for young horses.

I like this pic of my Lad bull alot better than the one Genex uses-kind of shows what a bull should be doing-out on trot breeding cows-he took care of three while I was taking pics.

This is our best cow carcass wise-she's 3/4 horned hereford, 1/4 longhorn-anything we've ever fed off her has been a Prime-yield grade one. She's a 'D'model so has some longevity too.

The end result-this pen went out not too long after this picture was taken.

See if it will work now for me-here is how I hope they end up.

Great pictures and great cattle. The first is the most impressive, mostly because of your statement about never having eaten a mouth full of grain.
I am 50 years old and I have been AIing cows since I was 14. I had a neighbor tell me I should advertise as an AI technician, he thought there would be quite a bit of interest. The main reason I never have is because of what I can imagine a cow improperly restrained could do to my arm and I know how some people work their cattle. When I saw that pic of you AIing a cow at the end of a lariat rope, it pretty much reinforces my decision. That just ain't worth it.

Well one out of thousands isn't too bad-i've been squished in hydraukic chutes, sandwiched between cows-haafd a few end gates drop on the back of my neck-it's all good lol.

Nice cattle.. really like your F1 baldies. Looks like they retained the hair from their hereford mamas.

Great pics. You have some good looking cattle. Really like the Horned Hereford bull. He looks like he can get the job done.
