More Cows (Pics)

[randiliana]

The cows were a little more co-operative about photo ops this time around. Here are some photos from yesterday. This is our fall grazing, we should get another week to 2 weeks before we need to start feeding.

I'll start off with these. Here is #129 with 2 of her daughters. #129 is our most prolific cow producer. We've kept every one of her daughters, grand daughters and now we are starting with her great grand daughters. We have 4 of her daughters, 3 raised calves this year, one's her calf from this year. 3 grand daughters, 2 raised calves, one's a bred heifer. And one great grand daughter which was a calf this year. So a grand total of 8 offspring. She is coming 8 years old, purebred Shorthorn. The red cow is sired by Gelbveih and the Black one is sired by Black Angus.

#129 (red/white), #40,(black) #32(red)

Wow, nice cows! Looks like Montana out there. How many acres do you have?

[randiliana]

Well, we are only about 30 miles North of Montana, so the country's pretty much the same. We have 800 acres here at home, 720 about 2 hours north of us and we rent another 640 or so. Those cows are on a 1/2 section.

Thanks for the pictures. Always enjoy seeing your cattle. When will your first calves be on the ground? If I remember from prior posts, you drop early calves.....February? Just around the corner!

Thanks, NWMO. They should start calving about Mar 5. Not too far away anymore.
