| Good moderate looking functional cows. If the heifers mother is as good as her profile .....keep her

I already commented on cattletoday.com, but I will again.
They look good. Are they are the Aberle heifers you bought out of Herried, SD a couple years ago?

Sure looks like your winter grazing program is working...they look pretty darn healthy...
I agree...if ya can keep as many replacement heifers as possible..ya can always weed em out later.

| That's nice country to run cows in and they look good. Those ridges look pretty 'deery' to me-looks like you might have some good whitetails sharing that pasture.

| NR you hit the nail on the head. There is alot a deer in the area i took these pictures in. Way to many if you ask me. Early we chopped are sialge off the bottom ground and drilled clean out wheat in. the wheat grew about 7 inchs and the deer just mowed it off on us. Pretty good hunting though we took off 23 deer the first season. but i think there was 18 guys hunting it.

| Well I'd be packing a bow or muzzie if I came for a visit-that looks like some sweet country to hunt.

I like your heifer, unless someones else says otherwise she looks like a keeper.
And the rest of the herd is just as good lookin....an to me, it's kinda strange to see them feilds without any snow.

| theres pretty good deer hunting in are area. The big hunting outfits are driving pasture prices up though. Some Timber right behind us in the picture sold for 2950 an acre. Its good i guess it makes are timber worth that as well but it makes it hard for the Farmer/rancher to buy land. 100 acres of crop land sold for 5,200 an acre today.

| Nice looking cattle. I also like the looks of the country they are ranging in. The heifer looks like a keeper.

Looks like great country to keep cows in (and deer)
