Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. They sure look fat and sassy.Do they stay out on the plains when winter comes?

Well, we bring them home here, and winter where there is some windbreak for them to go into at night or when it is really nasty, but they do stay out on the plains.

Some awesome cows and calves. My picks are the #32 goggle-eyed heifer, then the #107 heifer, then the #165 steer. All great range cattle with frame and muscle. Good job putting together genetics!
