Sire is 1/2 Angus, 3/8 Charolais, 1/8 dairy. I think he did great job, his calves are very gentle and looks better than usually we've. So hope to have sone good replacements.
I'm a daughter of farmers and I'm 16, soon 17, years old. This year born heifer which is mine (first my future cow). I think she'll be heavy cow with strong bone structure, so easy calving.Her dam is 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Salers, 1/4 BB and 1/4 dairy. Here is a picture takken on this friday, she's 2 months old.

A nice, even group of calves. I never would have guessed they were so varied in genetics.
 
Thank you for sharing your photos. You have very nice cattle. I like the BB influence.
It looks like it is very pretty where you live.
 
Thanks. :D If everything will be alright we'll keep all heifers we've now for breeding. But still we're waiting for 5 calves: 1 out of 3/4 Charolais, 1 out of 1/2 Charolais,1 out of 1/2 Angus, 1 out of 1/2 Hereford and one out of 1/2 BB. Hope to have more good heifers.
 
Thank you for the nice photos. Interesting to see the rest of the world.

Nice calves, and nice and gentle. I should show these photos to certain breed associations claiming their cattle are especially gentle, but somehow the ones I get have not read their brochure.

By the way, how have you learned such good English at a young age?
 
Thank you. Last year we've chosen that bull which was very gentle that calves also be gentle. So here's the result. We'd problem with character when we're inseminating our cows,but after a few aggresive young bulls we've decided better to use our gentle bulls. That was 2 years ago.
What about English, I'm studying English for 7 years at school (now I'm in 11th form, but left just 2 weeks untill summer holiday) and last 3 years I'd very good teacher. Also I'm practising it in this forum and communicating with a few people since last year's december. :)
 
Thank you. Yes, most of them are very gentle( 8 from 13) and friendly like little puppies. :D They often like to walk behind me or somebody else, sometimes they like run after me. That's somekind of play for us. :)
 
I like your heifer.. she looks just like mine!
