[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1758721, member: 20754"] I thought that I would update this thread with some current pictures. It has been an incredibly dry summer, but we are lucky to still have grass. Despite the heat, we are extraordinarily happy with how this calf crop is developing. 206 Heifer- 5 month old AI sired calf [ATTACH type="full"]19622[/ATTACH] This bull calf is 4 months old and out of a 9 year old cow who has produced some really nice bull calves over the years. To my knowledge, his dam is the only female sired by of Michaelong Grasshopper in the entire US. Grasshopper was born in 1973 and was raised by the founding family of the Murray Grey breed, before he was exported to Canada. [ATTACH type="full"]19623[/ATTACH] These next two heifers are both daughters of BB Backbone's General, pictured at 4 months and 3 1/2 months, respectively.
