Ten-year-old baldy cow with twin baldy heifer calves

Quite proud of her achievement

Most colorful calf on the place, out of a cow I bought several years ago

Either I'm leaning or the windmill is, or maybe it's just the photographer.

The hand basket is painted red.

Showing off our new Sparky-made calf puller

Built heck for stout

Quarter inch cable on a hand crank winch

It swivels, also.

New addition

At least you have some semblance of bare ground.


With the stoutness of that puller I gather you are anticipating the "Maine Event" next spring.


Thanks Soapweed.

I doubt that Soapweed will need that puller all that much for the Maine X calves. I ran a fullblood Maine Anjou bull ( the red and white kind) with 35 Angus cows for 6 years and I pulled 1 calf in that time. I also run some black Simmental bulls and don't seem to pull many calves out of them either. Two weeks to calving, so shouldn't get too cocky yet!

Nice baldy twins,is momma feeding both of them?Looks like you could pull a elephant with that puller.
