Have a bit of time this afternoon, so thought I'd share a few pictures.
BA heifer with her first calf, a 69 lb heifer. Not a great picture - she wasn't too happy with me trying to picture her & her new baby.
Peak A Boo
4 yr BA old cow with her 3rd calf, a bull.
7 yr old Commercial 3/4 Angus 1/4 Sim cow. She's an idiot & the only reason she gets to stay is because she raises a heck of a good calf. We don't keep very many high headed ones around, but if we leave her at home & do as little as possible with her she is tolerable. Kept a heifer out of her last year and if she works out & has a better attitude this girl will probably hit the road.
cute little RA bull calf

another RA bull calf
Bull calf - Gelbvieh x SimX cow
RA pair
Heifer calf - Gelbvieh x CharX cow
one of my favorite commercial cows.
Thought it was cute how the tan calf was getting a suck with the red calf laying contently right between his legs.
This girl looks like she feels about the same as she looks - rough! That's her 2nd calf & she won't turn 3 until July 2nd. She calved mid April last year and about a week earlier this year. We will keep the odd late born heifer calf, but they get treated the same & turned out with the bull at the time same as the older heifers. Sometimes they don't look very good till they are much older, but quite often they turn into pretty good cows. This one is definitely not a front pasture type cow...
I know she's not perfect but this is probably my favorite BA cow on the farm. She's raised two nice bull calves so far & has a heifer this year that I hope turns out. She could use a touch more frame to suit most people, but I kinda like short, dumpy cows ;-)
I think I got a little carried away with the pictures (as usual...) so I will stop there. Time to do another cow check anyway!
