NOte there is no pasture. We are burning up. Red and my farms are about 20 miles apart and we have missed alot of the rains that have hit around us. If we don't get some rain soon, we are going to be in BIG trouble. My pastures are cooked. I am feeding round bales OUCh because I have no grass. I am sure that hay is going to start creeping up. The folks I talked to in the area said there hay crop was down and they are getting 60-75% of what they had last year.

Nice babies OH Breeder - Blanche sure did a nice job for you - I have 3 to go, 2 next week and one not quite as late as SH - I am blaming it on poor heat detection due to the untrimmed 400 year old tree blocking my view (I can see clearly now - tree trimmed!) dry here too - we need rain

I had a couple of those trees last year. But i think we are doing a much better job this year. We have got everyone bred back and I am hoping that the lastest we will have calves next year will be April. Thank you for the compliments. We told Blanche last year when we bred her, if you don't produce this year you are hamburger. We, I think we are going to say that more often, the little fella is pretty outstanding.

OH B, like you it is miserably dry here. We are looking at 2nd cutting hay about Wednesday.
I have 1 cow due the end of the month.

Great looking calves. I can't wait for you to start finding homes for them. I'll keep my ears to the ground too.

Thanks Red. I have had a few inquires thanks to this board. Yeah! I haven't really started to advertise. I appreciate any help you can provide. Good luck with the hay.

Ohio Breeder, those are some great looking calves. Blanche's calf looks to be extra special. Hope you are  recovering well from surgery. I'm praying that you, Red and everyone one in your neck of the woods get rain soon and it eventually gets to Michigan for DL and all others in need.

Could do without the heat, but am getting along pretty good Telos. THanks.
I think my calf crop this year is pretty good and yes that little guy is pretty special. For the right kid he could be pretty competative. Thanks too for rain wishes. We are getting pretty close to drought conditions.
