I must add that your system and breeds is very good and more natural than and easycare than practiced here. Good work.

Thanks for reply. I was wondering how you manage so many head. Guys here because their farms are smaller tend to go for the breeds that come into the most money and they are Belgium Blue, Charolais and limousion. Mostly assisted calving and dopier calves with the BB and Charolais. Most herds...

Some amount of calves Soapweed. You have some workload calving that lot. Do you pen each cow as she calves to make sure calves get a suck or just watch them.

No snow this winter. Temp was 12C today. Soon will have cattle out.

Maybe if you had a camera you would still have cows.

Lovely photos Soapweed. The cows are looking very well. Are you having a easy year calving . Must be nicer without the snow or are you concerned about water for the land. PS. Kosmo kid looks better without the meg.

Super photos Soapweed. I just love the ones of the heifers being moved. Hope they sell well tomorrow.

A well feed 7 month bull calf would put his sisters in calf no trouble.Prob a bit small for the cows,

Well christopher, if you can only see your stock every third day then AI is not for you. Good fencing is your piority as your stock could be gone miles in your absence. A battery fence with a tractor battery will last severel weeks. Just make sure it is well secured against theft

Soapweed, thats a lovely batch of in calf heifers. If you were over here i might buy a load off you. I have a few similar ones here myself , inside now on hay, What do you think yours weigh ?

Glad your having a good time Soapweed. Its 21.30 here in Ireland and we have the stove on enjoying the heat. Heard today a friend got 2000 euro for a bull for killing. Thats around $2600. !!!! Some price. Never seen it before . Bull beef has a market in Europe. Happy thanksgiving to you and...

You guys have it made if that works. Would you think it would be worthwhile having ring feeders to drop over bales to reduce waste, i know you would probally need the loader to move them . your land should benifit from 5 months muck concentrated in one area. There are some farmers here doing...

Soapweed,hi, Great photos. I was wondering today what you would be doing at at the ranch Hope the snow stayes away from you for a while. We are having a dryer than normal time here and there are some stock still out on the fields. Usually it best to have them inside as the fields...
