Pictures of calves in neighbors field TON OF PICTURES

so last spring when our bull was done he went over there and bred 18 cows and last week i looked through them and today i took some pics. all these are out of those commercial sim angus cross cows. we have a deal worked out to get a few of them.






this one is my personal favorite. he's thick, big boned, like the color.






heres another very nice bull calf.


this one here is a thick SOB, hairy too. a clip job would fix him right up




flashy little heifer



yet again another solid steer for a county fair. not the best + he wasn't being very photogenic


rolling hills and fields. i can see all of this from my house window's


and a little snotty attitude'd heifer calf. she's really nice


this a heifer calf born on our side of the fence

and then here is one of our steers buts. this was from 2 days ago when it was still raining





and that's it will report back after we pick out the ones we want and get em cleaned up

A very nice set of calves, Zack! A good bull on some average cows can bring some good surprises... in a good way!  There are some very nice calves with some thickness, style and pizzass in this group.

I have a cow here that I have only kept because she has a good udder, and milks well, and is extremely fertile... which made her a candidate to be a recip here. She is as ugly as a mud fence and she is always one of the first cows that shows up when someone comes to visit!

last year she had an embryo implanted and she did not retain it. She got bred to our clean up bull, who is a pretty decent bull in his own right. All winter I have been going to sell her as she is a horrible looking creature, but it just hadn't happened yet. She calved a few days ago, and she had one of the most amazing heifer calves born here in a long time... super thick, long  and a real eye catcher. She is as pretty as a pinto pony!  Now I am thinking I better keep her a little longer to see how this calf develops. Right now she looks like she will make our show string this fall.

I had the same thing happen with another recip a few years ago. She is a purebred Shorthorn female, and she had 4 ET calves in a row, but did not keep the 5th embryo implanted in her. She had a natural calf that ended up making out show herd that fall. She sold to a girl in Ontario, who campaigned her through Ontario the following year, and she won several shows with her, and also won two aluminum trailers with her. After this happened I decided I better rethink using this cow as a recip.

i really like the black eyed baldy licking her hip...or his hip...cant tell which it is...
nice calves

he

what is their breed %s

honest i have no idea about his cows, just know for the past 15 years he runs 2 angus bulls with his cows but i know they are a good bit simmy. quite a few smoke simmys too so there may be some char in there. they are some damn nice cows over there. would like to own them. just imagine what a bull like heatwave or sun seeker would do if our old junk pale face bull did that too them. lol

maybe when the neighbor retires, we might try and buy his cows, idk.


also you hear about young bulls throwing more heifers and more bulls as they get older. i  can attest to that. firt year we had 7 heifers 1 bull, 2nd we had 3 steers and 7 heifers 3rd year was equal 4th year we had 1 more bull than heifer. and now this year, we had 2 heifers 5 bulls and out of his 18 calves, i think i saw 3 heifers. the rest were bulls. look for some steers in the classifieds soon 

wish i could get my hands on one... dang city limits

What kind of bull did you lend him?didn't you have a PALEFACE son or was that someone else?

OSF is right. we didnt exactly lend him either, he had been jumping the fence 3 years in a row, we do this every year and work something out.

Zach,

How do you attach so many pictures to one post?  When I post it limits me to 4 pics or so.

Zack, if the fence between your pastures is the one pictured in the pictures, I can see how you couldn't keep him out of the neighbours pastures... haha.

my thoughts exactly. luckily we have a road in between our herd and the next closest bull.
