When I went to the pasture today it seemed more spring like than yesterday, had just had a shower, and things were clean and turnin green.
New babies layin all over the place.

The wild plums are bloomin and the bees are buzzin.

I think if we named him it'd hafta be "Mickey"

Slurp slurp..smack slurp........Got Milk?

Oh man, wild plums! I can smell them from here! They're my favorite! Wish we would get a plum crop this year. You can't beat wild plum jelly, it's the best!

Wished I could figure out a way to do a leather carving of wild plum blossoms. I think I'll plant one where they are going to plant me. I identify with them so much as we are a lot alike, sweet with stickers! Shocked

Nice to see you have green grass, you must of had some decent moisture.
It sounds like some area's are still dry, is NW Texas and Oklahoma still dry? Had a friend come drive back from Dallas a few days ago and he thought it looked terrible dry where he traveled, (don't know what route he took).
Anyway nice pics, Looovvvee to see green grass!!!

Wow, Jersey, you sure have a knack for the camera. Those pictures make us Northerner's pretty itchy for spring! Thanks for posting them. Good shots!

Yeap the next bulls an angus, went and looked at one day before yesterday. They are supposed to pen and work in a couple weeks, so guess we'll go pick him up then. He's a 3 year old, and I've seen his calves and some of the heifers they kept out of him and they look real good. So next calf crop, some of em will have smaller ears, even tho I'm real fond of them ears Wink

Use the angus for a couple years and see what we get, then switch back to a brangus bull.
We have been fortunate and gotten some real good rains in the last month and 1/2. It's still short grass, but at least it's green. And growin....

Nice pictures,the top one makes me think: are the rattlesnakes out yet. Laughing

Don't let them tease you too much about those long eared calves by the time they get 500 or 600 pounds it will take a race horse to catch them. Smile

or maybe a feed bucket?
