Sunseeker x Shorthorn/maine - Easily the best newborn heifer I have ever had. She looks flat out awesome at 3 days old.



Shiver x Maine - Pictured an earlier thread. out of a first calf heifer, unassisted, jumped up and was chasing the other cows around at 5 hours old.


I'll have 3 or 4 more here in the next couple days. 

Yeah!!!  My favorite thread!!  We were very disappointed with the start of our calving season, our best cow who was bred to Black Joker had a breech heifer, born dead of course.  Then a couple of days later our 3 year old angus had a beautiful Carneyman heifer, the best newborn heifer we had ever had, until today.  Caitlins first show heifer, who is now a 4 year old and is a Meyer granddaughter had a heifer this morning out of Black Joker, she is gorgeous!!  In between the two we had a Macho bull calf that is nice but I'm all for the heifers, Caitlin won't show steers!  Ill get pics today.

This is our first calf of the year and I'm pretty excited about him.  He is a 4 day old Heatwave out of a Meyer 734 x Chill Factor cow. bw 85lbs

Thanks for the compliment.  Yes he does look awful stout for 85lbs.  We weighed him but he seems to have really filled out since birth.  He is the first Heatwave calf we have ever had and I was concerned about bw, his mother is a big 9 year old cow that I thought should work well with HW, so far I'm happy. 

Great Looking group folks.

Shortdawg, nice heifer she looks like she is going to have some mass to her.

nice!   

Angus heifer calf sired by Mandan DOB 02/13/10

Here are a few of our 2010 calves napping in the Texas sun which has been a rare commodity this winter.  We have had 13 so far with only one easy pull on a first calf heifer.
