Anybody have calves yet? Lot 40 had a Rodman heifer

Did you buy the Lot 40 heifer?  I thought she was very nice.  On black ones, I liked her and the full sister to Taz.

Yes, I bought lot 40. I would have liked to bought lot 46 she was a legend out of taz full sister. I bought lot 56 as well but she has not calved yet the 40 calved last week she was several days early but made a great udder.

I pulled a breached bull calf by Jazz Man out of 66 the other day.  I sort of regretted buying her and she's easily the bottom of the four we bought but her calf wiped that buyers remorse away pretty quickly.

While we've had plenty of 90lb+ calves that are wider, he's easily the widest hipped and stockiest 65-lb calf I've ever had.  I actually looked up semen on Jazz Man earlier today to see about using him on all the heifers this Fall and we don't even have a Shorthorn on the place.

The rodman heifer is the same way with a cool look. I wished I would have bred that smart choice heifer that we got locked on at camp cooley to one of those bulls that Kris bred his heifers to.

I was thinking about that heifer the other day.  What did you end up breeding her to?

Baldridge Cadillac because I bought a pair that day that had a Cadillac hfr on her that was really nice and he is a heifer bull that makes good cows but right now I wished she had been bred to tank,taz jazz man or rodman. The heifer has done good on very little grass.

Lot 56 had a rodman heifer. that makes me 2 for 2 in the heifer department.
