[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1199063, member: 9096"] Well, thought I'd update you all on the 4 heifers :) All are doing well and raising good calves. they've had 2 calves each now, all steers except Chroma that had 2 heifers. I'm happy with all of them and unless they screw up they'll be around here a long time. 1T (Volta) is going to become a very good producer, and I think I might keep heifers from her 6T (Ceres) is nice, raising some good, stocky bulls so far.. 8T (Chroma) is a bit a smaller, lighter cow, raised 2 heifers, the first was a little light to keep as a replacement but built very nicely, the one from this year is a spitting image of her mother and is being kept.. I want to reduce the size of my average cow a bit, and these will do nicely. 11T (Cenci) is a meat wagon, stocky and strong. Raised 2 very nice steers, kept her first one for freezer beef and he's looking tasty and tender, she lost some condition raising her calf this year, but has regained it quickly Here's Chroma's calf Tifa.. perhaps you see the resemblence?
