What are the reports so far on calves being born?
My Hard Core heifer is perhapes the best we've had. She has great bone, wide & nice butt. Very excited about her. The Triple X bull is starting to come around. He was small at birth but is growing nicely. Looks like he's going to have more bone than we expectd. Ran a little temp for a bit but we took care of that quickly.
Next one is a clean Gold Club heifer that we bred to Currancy. She's due in about 2 weeks & starting to bag. The farm will start any day.

We have had 7 heifers calve so far, all heifers 1 Money Man and the rest are out of the clean up bull, we were doing great til yesterday.  Lost a really hard pull, calf was alive but I guess she sat down, calf hip locked  and they couldn't get it out ended up losing the calf, cow not getting up, bad deal.
Cows don't start for another 3 weeks or so, embryo's come 1st and we are really excited for those, have some black dice donor X jakes proud jazz coming.

Haven't started yet this year...won't start until March...first calf on the way is a Perfect Timing out of a TH free Kool cow...this cow is just as good as my Sonny, so we're pretty excited about that. We have two calves that were born the day before Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving day.  The little bull that was born on Thanksgiving day is that double bred Gold Spear, and he looks pretty good as of now...can't wait until we get going around here!
