Sooooo, Someone Wanted some Pics.....

Here you go

Well, I'm finally home again. As you can see I did take a lot of photos, just never got around to getting them on here. We've had a super calving season, other than that 1 C-section, we've only assisted a handful of calves. Lost 3 right off the bat, but things have gone well since. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather.

This is probably one of my very favorite heifers. Her mama is a purebred Shorthorn we bought last fall. Sired by a RA bull.

A 2 year old heifer with RA sired calf, all our 2 year olds are bred Red Angus.

This old girl is 11 years old and it looks like she's going to raise another good one. Calf is out of a HH bull.

A calf out of a 2 year old. We had to give his mama a bit of help, and then had to give him a hand. He was born curved to the right, had a hard time finding his balance. But mama was really good, she just stood still, loose, in the stall while I worked with them.

Great pictures. You have some very nice looking calves. About the only thing cuter than a calf is a bunch of calves. Thanks for sharing them.
