I've remembered how to load photos!
Here is one of our home bred cows, on our typical summer pasture with her 5 month old bull calf in January last. Not housed summer or winter, only fed hay or silage in winter, calved as a 2yr old and this is her 7th calf-now rearing her 8th born in August.
Current herd sire,Torrisdale Cheyenne by an Australian sire, Gnoleda Zac.
