Just some fun....our calf possee...some anyway lol (pic heavy)

Know that some might be bored with calf pictures but thought I might as well toss in a few of my own. LOL!

This is two heifers and one of our steers. The dad to these is our half angus/half gelbvieh "balancer" bull....Beau is what we call him LOL!

This here is little Tinkerbell. She came out no bigger than a minute and has been full of life from day one.

This is "The General". He is the only beef steer we had this spring.

Here is Turbo. She got that name as she is always turbo charged with energy. She loves to chase the Kawasaki Mule we use to check the cows. That's how I got this shot of her. LOL!

Part of the group of holstein steers we bought this spring to work as the grass eaters. Turned out to be a nice crew. LOL!

Ya know...I am not sure really. I would GUESS they were about 2-250. They have been really great to have. They are generally calm and so easy to get along with. I just bought a little bottle baby friday and am curious to see how he does. He's sure cute that's for sure. But when I bought those boys they were weaned off milk and grain and eating grass. I just bought them as we were short on cows and high on pasture and wanted some to eat down the grass.
