[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 639507, member: 968"] Ouch - you guys are tough on the "touchup". I didn't have anything to do with it. The photographer is another cattleperson. She wouldn't do anything to jeapradise (sp?) the integrity of my animals. As I said, we did minor clipping because of our harsh weather. The cattle themselves are as good or bad as what you see. They will be shaved bald for the sale, because I have nothing to hide on them & it's a whole lot easier to bald them (6 lots). Of course, we don't bald the babies. Just clip up their faces & neck & tailhead. Come to the sale May 9 in Gettysburg Pa and see for yourself. Bigbull - thanks. No, she's only a 3-year old with her 2nd calf on side. Not proven in our books. 1 great calf doesn't make a great cow, although she is phenotypically awesome & walks out great on a big foot. She is a typical Macho As U daughter. Great cows. Of course, who knows, if someone wants to "borrow" her for flushing like our other cow, we'd probably be game. And I think I have a better one in the lot that we will be showing for the first time this year. Jovid - most of these pictured are in "the real world". The spring heifer Uh Oh & the bred fall heifer Tease are still on grain (about 5#/hd/day - all winter) & baleage. The rest have been on baleage, like all my herd. Far from being pampered, other than getting to spend a night in the barn to make sure they weren't frozen snowballs for the pics - and getting a mini haircut. And the two heifers were in the barn for a week so they would clean up themselves on good bedding. Had to have Uh Oh really cleaned up for display (NY Simmental booth) [/QUOTE]
