I hope we get more calves this spring like this one -has a "3" on her head.
This bred heifer is getting big. Looking good!

That is a nice looking heifer

She's just getting mental picture so she can try to take you later when she grows up! LOL I work cows for my in-laws in the summer them things are nuts.

Never turn your back on a Sullen cow or woman !

Nice looking stock 330. How is your mineral feeder holding up?

Both pictures are of our Heifers...the one by the feeder will drop her first calf in May.

Saw a calf the other day

Nice looking calf. I see a crab on the heifer's head. LOL

I was a black angus calf today and it was a cold one this morning. It looked like a statue never moved was cold as heck I bet. I know the rancher and I'm sure it wasn't suppose to come this soon. LOL Most here wait till April to calf any more.

Our Neighbors cows are bred to calf mid Summer...don't know why.

This is a picture I grabbed off here a while back. I think it is a really cool picture.

lower part of that black spot would be the place to put the 22 mag when shes 1300 lbs :}
330 has nice animals i rember when he bought them heifers and was whinin they cost so much ..lol

. You are correct their Mom's cost us $1,900 each bred...that was 3 years ago already, but then we bred them UP twice to this bad boy!
And their will be no shot to the head for my Heifers, trying to build a small herd.

330,i'm jealous.will have some back on the farm hopefully soon.

That IS a Cool photo Sullivan K. And Pcr it took a few empty pasture years after my Stroke to get some back for a new start on a herd.

The sad thing is $1900 for a bred heifer 3 years ago was a decent deal. I still have some I paid over $2500 for, and that was on the low end for that particular sale. Though the check for the the weaned calves back then helped it hurt less.
For me, I find I'm time and money ahead to buy bred cows or pairs vs raising my own.

Mine should start having calves around the 10th of march. I always look forward to this time of the year!

In Se colorado most are done calving.

the best deal is a three in one package cow calf pair bred back

When I didn’t have a bull the 3n1 deal was great, but now I prefer to breed to my own bull. The cow being bred doesn’t add any value to me, and I always wonder what sort of calf I’ll end up with. Those cows ain’t always bred to the “black” bull every seller claims.

In our area, we swap an angus bull from small farm to small farm. It is much cheaper when a bunch of people share the cost of the bull, to breed relatively small herds of cattle. We are able to purchase a much better quality bull, since the expense is shared. The bull stays busy and it cuts down the cost of feeding him for each farmer.

There may be farmers in your area willing to do the same thing.
