Pasture pics

Here are a few pics I took this morning while checking pastures. The flies were bugging them and a few were camera shy so they are what they are.

1)The first is a Saskvalley Pioneer 126P X Shamrock Lucy 68L yearling heifer. She is an ET and we have two flushmate sisters. I'm not sure which one is the best

2) A Touchdown X Pioneer yearling heifer.
3) HC Augusta Pride 29Y - by Touchdown and her dam is an Augusta Pride we purchased in a SULL sale a few years ago. This heifers dam has given us 3 excellent heifers now and we will be flushing her this fall.
4) A Major Leroy X Hall Haven Sonny Sue 6N  ET heifer.

I'll post a few more once my camera battery charges up again.

Jealous of the green grass...nice cattle too! Really like the last one!

more pics....
1)  a Wolf Willow Major Leroy March 12/12 heifer. A full brother is being used in Texas. She is a Myrtle Bo
2) Our oldest Bar Code calf. Her dam is a two year old by Leroy and from the Picture Perfect cow family. She weighed 78 lbs at birth.
3) HC Picture Perfect 46X by Leroy. Her dam is a flushmate to HC Timeline 17T. She was flushed this spring and is now safe to calve to Rockstar next spring. She is the dam of the Bar Code heifer shown above.
4) a Bar Code heifer out of a two year old by HC Mist's Return 13R. She was 70 lbs at birth. Her and her mother will be in our show string this fall.
5) Six S Leah 55L - Our Mother Superior! After producing 411 grade 1 embryos she was trucked home 600 miles and was bred 2 days later. She is safe to that service. She has averaged 21 grade 1 embryos per flush. We are hoping for 15 calves from her here next spring as well as some more in a cooperator herd in Minnesota.

Pics of two Timeline heifer calves .  16Z is from a Spry's True Blue Y033 grand daughter. 9Z is from a Major Leroy 3 year old.

That's her , HC Picture Perfect 46X pictured above. It is a poor picture of her, and I will try to get a better one. She has the oldest Bar Code calf we have and I am very impressed with how she is retaining her condition while raising a big calf. Her heifer calf is almost as tall as her when she is nursing. We flushed 46X this spring and, as far as I know, we have 4 pregnancies due around March 1st.

It was a frustrating morning trying to take pictures as all the wanted to do was eat grass, or wonder away. I will try to get a better pic of 46X as this pic doesn't do her any justice.

That leah cow is darn good.

I like that Leroy Myrtle Bo calf and the Leah cow. She looks terrific! Nice group of shorthorns  (thumbsup)

As long as we're requesting photos.....Any Bar Code bull calves?

She has a great udder. She is like most of our Leroy daughters in that she has a neat udder and doesn't seem to be a heavy milker, however, they decieve you and always have a big fat calf. Many of our best calves this year are out of Leroy daughters. I will try to get a better pic in the next few days, and I will try to get pics of a few Bar Code bull calves as well.

9Z is pretty goof IMO, and 16Z is picked my alot of visitors as well. 16Z is also a Timeline and was 80 lbs at birth and the one I like the best had footrot the day I was picturing, so I did not bother her to get a picture. She is a Timeline out of SBR Dora 228.  That cross really seemed to work well, as one of the very best bull calves is an ET full brother to this heifer. Hopefully I can get pics of them as well. 9Z was 90 lbs at birth. We have not had an assisted birth from Timeline and the heaviest calf we had this year was a bull calf out of a Pioneer cow that weighed 105 lbs.

I've always liked your Sonny Sue 6N cow from the pictures on your website, almost bought some embryos of hers in one of your sales, kicking myself now we didn't! I like her daughter.  <beer>

How about the Pioneer J-lo bull calf that you had pictured on your homepage earlier this year?

He is doing very well. I expect he will be shown this fall. I intended to get a picture of him but he was in very tall grass and I went to take some pics of some others. When I went back to try to picture him, he had crossed a creek and I decided to get a picture another day. He is pretty thick and soggy.
