Tiny first timer and her calf...

[Taurus]

We brought the main herd home from their summer pasture yesterday and let them settle down before we can wean the calves. One of the first timers was pretty small about 750-800lbs and she was out of an old cow (16 years old). She calved to a big bull calf last March and I was impressed with the bull calf's growth rate and she is bred again. Here's the result.

Wow! Give that girl a cigar! Nice pair. I'd say she's earned herself a home. Congrats. :clap: B&G

Big calf, very impressive. I believe I'd have pulled the calf earlier.

I bet she can't wait for him to be weaned!.. that is really impressive.. How much milk did he steal?

I had some that did really well on their first calf, but not as well on their second (though still respectable).. I weaned a little early this year and I'll see how she does next year now that she's a bit more grown up and in better shape.

We will pull the calves out this week and put them on creeper.

Is she bred back?

Is she bred back?

She is bred again as I've said that in my first post.

Wow! She did well with that calf. I'd say she's a keeper.
