[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1414160, member: 13402"] We finished up working the calves today, I have to admit it wasn't as much fun as usual for two reasons. Coming the the farm we pass Anna's house and it just makes me sad. Reason #2 I just plain don't feel good. When we finished I looked at my paperwork and said man I must have missed one. I usually do pretty good with the paperwork, but feeling as bad as I do thought I probably screwed up and just missed writing one down. So the boss said well it got an EID tag so look at the scale and see if it shows D49....it didn't. So the hunt began for the missing calf. The boss found him hung up on top of the hill in the head gate alive just a bit stressed. Do you realize how many ways a calf will try to kill itself! Anyway we have one calf that now needs shots and worming, the good news is he is a commercial calf so not getting him weighed with his group won't be as bad as it would have been had I planned to register him. My favorite cows didn't let me down our top calf was out of 811 she has been a favorite since birth. Another standout was 907's Charlo heifer I have pictured her on this forum a couple of times. I pick a favorite every year for numerous reasons phenotype at the top of them, along with pedigree. This year I have two favorite bulls D45 and D26 and heifers D17 and D19 it will be fun to watch them as they develop. [/QUOTE]
