We gave all the calves their booster shots today steered out those that didn't make the criteria to stay a bull. I should add that event if they kept their credentials this go they have to continue to perform or they lose them when we do the yearling measurements. I would rank this as one of the best calf crops we have ever weaned. I think what I am most excited about are the calves out of cows we own and flushed. This SAV Blackcap May 0524 cow is turning out to be as good as we had hoped for. Her first flush we got four eggs put all four in and got four calves three bulls and one heifer. The sire of the flush was Coleman EXT 6149 all 4 are standouts, we took weights on 4/26/16 the three Bulls actual weights and adj. weights were: C30 actual 588 adjusted 581, C39 actual 736 adjusted 742 and C21 actual 630 adjusted 616 the heifer mate to these calves C42 actual 582 adjusted 588. The two heifers out of the other cow we own 0709 and Wulffs EXT 6106 are as nice a pair of heifers ever born on the place C15 actual weight 576 adjusted 560 and C33 actual 644 adjusted 636. Those are my favorites but we have so many I like this year it is really hard to pick a favorite.
