Some Cows and Some Calves (pics)

[randiliana]

Took some photos over the last few days of the cows. Here you go.

Took salt out to one pasture. There are 21 pair here, and they certainly like their salt, they had been out for about 2 weeks.

First one there, man, this is good stuff

Uh oh, better hurry up

Git, this is MINE!!

Slightly outnumbered

The red calf belongs to the red cow in the very first photo

Short grass prairie

Another sweetheart

My very favorite heifer calf

And, some steers, they are all in that 600 lb range now.

Thanks for posting the pics. Great looking cattle. I always enjoy seeing cattle in pastures at ease working as they should.

Really nice calves. That shortgrass has a lot of kick doesn't it.

Water hole sure looks low and the forage doesn't look any better than ours. I guess what counts is what the cattle do and it looks like they are doing it ok. Lately I've notice increased activity around the salt and mineral feeder too.

Randi,

Are you in a drought, or is your forage normally like that? I'm not too familiar with Canadian grasses.

Looks about like our place,..the grass looks pretty sparce in the pics around the water hole. Lots of grass elsewhere. Big, fat, lazy gals here will graze it down to the dirt near the reservoirs, when 100 yards away there is more grass than they can eat. Good pics! My kind of cattle.

That short grass prairie never does get very tall. Plus, around the water hole, they graze it extra hard.
