Always love lookin' at your cattle Diamond family! (thumbsup) Hope y'all make it to Agribition this fall, if all goes well we'll be there with the 4-H club again. (Our family is planning on going, no matter what!)
Our calving season was an interesting one. We had a little under 70 cows to...
Yes he does, Jaimiediamond. I had gone by myself to take a look at them and then a couple of days later went back with my hubby. Didn't tell him which was my pick and he picked this one out too. There are some other ones in the bunch that look really good too. Some nice yearlings available as...
