Yrlg Heifer Pics Jun 5, 2018

[Silver]

Snapped a few pics of the heifers I managed to see on the way through to go over some fence today. Not sure where the rest are but probably not too far away.

We got 1.25 inches of much needed and very welcome rain yesterday, hopefully the grass starts popping now.

Very nice looking heifers and very nice scenery/setting you have North of the Border.

They've come through winter well, have they been joined yet?

Nice looking bunch! Glad to see some more colour on the board. I guess they are mainly Limousine and Simmy?

Silver - great group of heifers. Are these mostly Jan/Feb yearlings? Bred yet?

Thanks Jeanne. These are March / April yearlings. The bulls are with them, the fourth picture has a bull in it. I should have zoomed the pic before I posted it. I'm the worst picture taker in the history of photography.
Bulls were turned out on May 23.

Thanks, we use Simmie, Simmie x RA, and some RA bulls, on a herd that was up to 6 or eight years ago very heavily Blonde d'Aquitaine.

I was pretty sure that they have limousine in them. But still a very nice looking heifers. Bull looks great too. Show their calves next year. Should be quite nice ones.

That's what I was figuring. I wish I had the problem of not knowing where my cattle are in the pasture! Good for you Silver!

Hay and about 5lbs mixed grain (barley, oats, canola, wheat) over the winter. And TM block salt.
