[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 936314, member: 7509"] Thanks for the comment, ALACOWMAN. That is my feeling too. Cow #3 pictured is putting everything she has into the 87 day old calf she is nursing in the 6/29 picture. She has been grazing a dry pasture around nettles. They get no supplementation other than mineral. I watch ribs as my main condition indicator. She has a layer of fat over her ribs although not a lot right now. Part of it is the way she is standing. With the heat and drought I am trying to squeeze as much out of each pasture as I can. They will be moving to a pasture with more clover in a few days. With the grass turning brown after a week of around 100 deg F or higher temps, the deeper rooted red clover is about the only thing green in some pastures which have really gone downhill since those 6/29 photos. But the cows are still in reasonably good condition. The bulls are also in with them. Asking a lot of a cow this time of year and weather. They are working. Jim [/QUOTE]
