Good solid range stock. #58 might be carrying twins!
Looks like some wide open country. Get lots of wind?

#58 looks like that every year. So it is likely just a single calf. She has never had twins before, but who knows?? It is wide open country, and yes, we sure have been known to get some wind. It is usually breezy here, but not really windy.

The cattle look good. do you start calfing in march or later.
How are the chickens doing and did you get the freedom rangers and if so were they worth it.
Good to see you posting

The cows are due starting March 1 to Mar 15. Chickens are doing well, and yes I did get some of those free rangers. They do seem to be worth it, and I have about 8 hens and a couple roosters that I want to hatch from this spring. Found out though that you have to feed the hens carefully since they get too fat, and then prolapse. I also see that Anstey's is not carrying them this year. Now, you are going to have to remind me who you are, I can't remember talking to you before :~>
