Calves are all here now

[travlnusa]

We started 18 months ago with buying two heavy bred angus cows, and bought one bred heifer last summer.

The heifer was the first for this season. She gave us a nice Dateline heifer calf. Calf was very dumb, ended up having to tube it for a few days, but now all is well.

Cow #1 was next. She gave us a New Day bull calf, then about 5 mins later, gave us a heifer calf. Will have lots of burger in 14 months. Even with twins, one was 78lbs, the other 82lbs.

Cow #2 was last night. A New Design heifer calf, born 5 days late at 101lbs!!!!

I swear we feed ZERO grain, other than to lead them into catch pen to funnel them to chute.

All cows and calves are outside running around (calves that is).

I have been watching pretty close, and cow seems to be keeping up with the twins. I am sure they will not have the same ADG as the others, but will accept two for the price of one this time. We have a market for retail beef, so having a few to butcher will be a good thing.

Her last calf was 76lbs. I will be breeding her to Traveler 004 this year.
