Keep us posted on the Gus babies! We had 2 Gus heifers yesterday out of 2 year olds and they look really good. Both unassisted @
70 and 74 #'s. The are both roans out of spotted cows. Just what a white guy should do. I can't wait to breed his daughters to our new bull! My patience is a mess. Great looking calves and I hope your success continues!

Nice babies!!! Congrats!! Sorry about # 4.
So far this year, we have lost one cow (my very favorite one!) and four calves. The cow was pregnant, and we lost a set of triplets.
Not a good start to 2010 for us.
