Brandonm2 and KMacGinley - thanks for your comments.
Did you check out the page "previous buyers"? Shows several cattle we have sold. I generally end up selling my BEST, so this page has some decent females.

J-SV< I like the heifer, I like the pic. I tell my wife all the time I'm going to fence the yard, let the cows mow the grass. Fertilize
it too, ;-) :cboy:

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

mnmtranching - thanks. About the "yard". My house is a good 100 yards off the road (front yard). This is on the side of the house where we keep our replacements during the winter. I have a good acre or so to mow.
I still had my fall heifers in with the springs because we were breeding them, but they are now in with my "pampered" group which is the bred 2 & 3 year olds. They are considered "pampered" because they get the best winter protected field and don't have to fight the older cows and I don't let them run out of hay. Mature cows are allowed to run out of hay periodically so they clean up the hay real good.

Nice cattle, Jeanne. Love those fuzzy simmi ears. Living on Long Island, do you drink a lot of "tea"?

Are those the square plastic battens in your fence? I used some that look like that last year, haven't had any problems out of them, but the just look cheap. You like them?

I have seen Macho in person. He is stout and tracks well. Very correct bull.

Here's a herf for guest 25 and nortexsook (and anyone else) to pick apart. When the picture was taken she was 6 I think and dry. She is that fat on native grass. Only grain she gets is what I use to pen them. Unload on her. I have thick skin.

Jeanne, I really like this cow!

 

[ALACOWMAN]

ok you ask for it, she's to......... and to much..........and could use a little more ............. ah he!! nice cow cert
;-)

 

[cfpinz]

Nice cow certs, polled or dehorned? How does she milk?

Matt S and Cert,

Both very nice cows, I would have prefered the hereford slightly shorter on the legs, but that is just my personal taste. I have one that looks just like that that is one of my best producers, even if she isn't exactly my ideal cow.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Alacowman - yes Central Park and Times square isn't too far away - ain't I lucky. Some city folks complain at weaning time tho.
cfpinz - sure, wanta come over for a spot of tea?
I think you are referring to our droppers. They are black plastic & actually hollow triangle shaped with "grooves" every few inches on one side. That is only about a 40' stretch of hi-tensile between wooden posts, and we used them for spacers. They're OK, but "bend" under heavy snow loads on long stretches. Hard to believe the snow can pull fence down like it does.
Fencer friend says the 6-7' white plastic 1" posts are working great on flat stretches for line posts - with of course good corner assemblies.
MattS - thanks - she was my favorite. Nicknamed "Tunes".

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Cert - thanks for your comments.
Your cow looks really nice. Long spined & long hipped. That's something we struggled to keep when we started downsizing our cows. We want to cut the legs off but keep that great length.

 

[cfpinz]

Jeanne - The droppers sound like the same, but ours are square. There's got to be something better out there.

That tea invite sounds good, don't know about the "spot" but a glass or three sounds good.

It's not exactly swimming weather here for that matter! But Punxy Phil didn't see his shadow this morning so I'll be sporting my new speed-o before you know it! :lol2:

I GOT IT! gotta learn the right way, that took forever!
Here's as updated picture of the Macho heifer Reward - born 10-1-05

Dang good genetics when they grow like that on snow and an empty bale ring.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

speed-o - I don't know what you look like, but the image really made me LOL.
Feed ?? Snowballs and rabbit tracks.

 

[Anonymous]

Is this a feeder calf? Seing as how she is drylotted up by the house, I figure maybe your feeding her out for your Memorial Day cookout?

I've seen better feeders!

I'm a BA and Char guy and I have quite a bit of Hereford influence.
Nothing to pick apart on your cow. To long legs :?: don't know about that. :roll: I think anyone would be happy to own her. 8)
