I haven't posted much here for some time. We have had a very dry summer, for SW WI, and still need rain. However I took a couple pictures the other day as I moved them to a pasture that has had a long rest and some growth.
These are some young commercial cows and mostly April calves along the lines of what I am trying to develop.
This is a young cow with her 2nd calf. This steer should be close to my 50% of dam weight at weaning goal. the steer is showing the length I am looking for. Long and low. Lots of rib.
This is a young cow with a bred heifer behind her. Mine calve in late March through April.
This is a young (170 days old in the photo) retained bull calf I am planning on using on some of my cows next year in my "linebreeding" experiment to get to 1200 lb cows like his dam but with some beef like his sire.
Nothing special but they are coming along. No creep, just mama and grass. fwiw.
