Meet my Ginger...if pictures worked!

Meet my Ginger...if pictures worked! - Cattle
This was taken a few days before she freshened with her last calf early Aug. '05

This is bull...little Jersey X, barely on his feet.

This was a few days later...named Redneck, for the "r" on his side...he's very lively!!!

My neighbors have him now and plan to eat him, but I want to buy him back!

CUTE!! My problem with raising cows and bottle feeding calves was I never could eat them. I always ended up taking them to the sale.

YES, I know they probably went to slaughter, but I didn't know personally that I was eating them.

Cute little boy.

Ginger is lovely, and what a perfect name.

Little Redneck is sure a charmer!

Yeppers, we have hills and gullies, evergreens ~ lotsa Ponderosa ~ hayfields, wheat and other grain fields, and now the deciduous trees and bushes are getting green. Spring's here and it's lovely; the lilacs at 1200 ft are blooming, so are cherries, apples and apricots, so down along the Clearwater River at that elevation, we have those scents to take in ...the scents of spring!!! Temp's up to 79 degrees...very comfortable. It's a bit greener than what you can see in that picture, looking NE from our place. Our elevation is 3000 ft. so we're a bit cooler than the river valley, ancient home to the Nez Perce, who never did pierce their noses...that was a tribe over by the coast.

Ginger's looking about as uncomfortable with two months to go as she does in this pix of her. She truly waddles along...sways a lot

Thank you all for the comments about her...I'll be sure to tell her what you said.
