Where are you located?

There should be some nice ones out of those cattle and Troubadour , Yellow Jacket . What are you going to do with the heifer calves ?

Chunky little critters!  I like 'em!

Please show us how they progress this winter.

Good luck-

calves look great!

Very nice good group of calves. BTW that is an impressive set of cows too!!!

VERY good Charolais cattle ,is there certain breeding you used on cows ....

Cows are just what I have kept and selected for over the years out of a commercial herd. I plan on selling all the calves at some point. fixing to breed back and i want to know if these calves are too tall. Should I use a more clubby style bull or keep going with the same kind of breeding?

Looks like you are doing a very good job, got a very good factory and figure out what bull works good on your cows for the market you have ....

Good Looking set of calves!!  I'd take one if you were closer    Looks like you're doing pretty good with herd selection!!

I dont think I would say they are to tall at this point.  There is a lot of development left to happen and it depends on how they grow.  They look big boned, attractive fronted and thick.  As they grow and mature and fill out and get some depth to them I dont think they will look to tall at all.

Are you planning on using any Choppin' Wood?  And I wouldn't say there to tall but they look VERY progressed for 2 to 3 months.

I haven't thought about him. I am trying to stay with high percentage charolais calves. These cows were AIed on the 23rd and 30th of December 2010. That is when I plan on breeding them again this year. I am not falsifying their age. I have started creep feeding.

a few more pics. What you think. Dark calf is out of a different bull and a hoo doo cow i bought

Great looking set of calves!

Nice looking calves! From what I can tell from the pictures I wouldn't change what you are doing! JMO

so what you plan to breed with this year?

Thinking about continuing in the same direction.... Yellowjacket, Troubador and No Apologies. Maybe some Red Rooster

That's a nice selection you got in mind. Good luck!  <cowboy>
