Picture of the day

[Duncraggan]

More pics....just now, half blood Shorthorn. The Shorthorn sire is a bull from my herd.
The white heifers are 50% Shorthorn and 50% Charolais or 50% Shorthorn 25% Charolais/ 25% Crioulo breed.
The black spotted heifer is 50% Shorthorn and 50% Crioulo breed with iberian ancestors (similar historic origin to Texas Longhorn).
All 2 years old. Weighting from 497 kg to 543 kg.
Pregnant, sire used Saskvalley Yesterday.

That 50/50 Shorthorn Crioulo looks very much like a Nguni from South Africa, just has a much better hindquarter!

I got my first Saskvalley Yesterday calf a few days ago, will start a new thread.

Saw this on facebook, thought it was pretty neat.

That's an impressive looking bull. What's the date of photo?

I know a lot of people are having one of the worst winters ever but recently we have been having the best in a few years. Although we have lots of mud most of our snow has disappeared and the good old chinooks that avoided us the last two winters have returned. It's a long time to spring so enjoying it while I can.  I just wish the heifers that are due would take advantage of it ???
Here are a couple of pics of tonight's sunset.

Photos from June 19th, second longest day of the year! It is very dry here but the sunsets sure have been nice.

I know God's sky is more beautiful than cows...but I just had to get a better look at those roans!
