First attempt at doing photos here, hope these work. All but 1 of these (the yearling bull) are from a few weeks ago when we set them out on summer pasture. Hard to believe that this same pasture ran out of creek water by early July last year during the drought which never had happened in over 30 years of grazing it and we had to bring them back to home farm where we had water still and fed CPR hay in August which was another first. So much rain this year there is plenty to eat now!
Here's our senior herd sire. He's a 3rd generation Puckster bull we bought from Rausch Herefords. This will be his 3rd calf crop and we haven't had to assist any births of his first 2 calf crops.
This is our yearling bull out of MSU TCF Revolution 4R. Picture is from early May so he's grown out even more and looks even better than he does here. Just got the GE DNA EPD work done on him and he's up to 135 YW and 65 M&G EPDs which puts him in the top 1% of the breed. Little shocked his BW EPD came back at 5.1 because he's bred for low birth weight and between him and his dam who is a Logic daughter their BW EPDs are well below breed average.
This one turned out pretty cool, just trying to get a wide shot of some of the herd and cloud cover took a little of the sunlight away.
This picture is not the best but the bull calf hiding behind this cow is one of the best calves in the pasture right now. We bought this cow off a dispersal sale from another well known Hereford herd a few years ago and she just keeps putting out great calves for us.
More calves:
This is a yearling heifer out of MSU TCF Revolution 4R. She probably would have made a nice show heifer for someone but we're confident she is going to make a fine cow for us.
