I'm Back....finally!

We saw lots of belgian blue cattle and belgian blue crossbreds....as you would probably guess from the pictures of the Charolais and Limi's that there might be a smidge snuck in those to (over there)

My son spent 3 days on a Belgian Blue, Hog and potato farm.  They c section all the cows.  Only breed as 2 year olds, cull after 4 c sections....yikes.    Here is a picture of my opinion of a bad belgian blue.....this cow could not make it to water at my house!

Since I am a fan of commercial cattle....they are the bread and butter for most folks.  Here is a common composite breed in the UK.  They are called Luing (pronounced LING) and are made up of Highlander, Shorthorn and Charolais.  Very hardy and thrifty.  They are kind of a light red brockle face cow.

One thing we noticed and of course it is obvious, the cattle are all very calm and easy tempered.  The last picture was the largest herd I saw the whole time.  Small groups and a lot of interaction on foot or with a 4 wheeler.

Thanks for indulging me with all my trip stories.........even the worst of us country hayseeds can make it to the big city!

very interesting!  thanks for sharing! 

Cool.Welcome back.
