Hey, It's been a while since I posted. No cows for me yet. That will be a graduation gift. Been so busy with upper-level courses in university. Meanwhile, we went to go look at steers. I showed a pic to my younger brother who I was able to convince to get one this year, so another trip for a...

Decided to go up and check on the Huckleberries yesterday. Still need another week or two as most are still red and even green ones still. So we decided to just go for gander while we were up there. We were actually looking for a place called Skoatl Point, we missed the turn off, but we found...

Our Club had its 4-H Achievement Day on Saturday. I managed to get back and take some pics: Here is the steer lineup: Some Closer-ups: This one came in first for the day: Second: No particular order: This was just a pic of the brand. All the steers are from Hivalley Limousin or out...

Managed to get home last weekend. Here are some quick photos I took. For the first time since 1999, the water has reached the bottom of the bridge: This is prob even higher now. The Fields - you can see a few of the places where the creek used to run are flooded again: A close up of a...

I'll start with the good news - my aunt is back home from working in another community. Bad news - she has laid down the law. She prefers to spend time with my uncle...between Real Estate, Logging Company, and Hay Sales, she doesn't get a lot of time with him and hasn't for a few years - so no...

Just some photos I took on my iPod throughout the semester: Some fog in the valley outside of town: Studying on campus early in the morning: A cool pattern from the lookout balcany: The next few were taken today...decided to take a break from studying. They are the view from the trail...

Hey, So i've been on the lookout for some cows for my bull to start building a herd. This is the bull: Haven't had a lot of luck finding some cows...not that I expected to have much. However, some cow/calf pairs showed up in a couple of auctions here. The first are some BA/simmi x pairs...

I am a student away at school. So while I can't be at home doing something with cattle and in between studying and looking at pictures of cows/bulls, one of my hobbies is to breed show quality bettas. These particular ones are less than spectacular as they were born right before christmas so...

Pretty simple life goal: Own myself some cattle some day. Although there was no specific order to the steps, step one is complete. I purchased myself a bull today :D: (Photo courtesy of hivalleylimo.com) Hi-Valley Dynamite 31W: BW: 71 lbs WW: 775 lbs YW: 1240 lbs Granddam(Ivy's Princess)...

So my lifelong goal of having my own cattle one day is going to come true this spring. My uncle has sold his wild herd and we will be buying about 10 cows and a new bull sometime this year. The goal is to produce feeder calves. Aside from structural soundness, my uncle has only specified the...

Was asked to show bulls for Hivalley Limo this year. Went back and picked a couple of May born bull calves to try my hand at. My favourite: This guy hasn't got as much fur as I would like but: Also picked out a '09 heifer that just calved two weeks ago. No pics of her though. :( They are...

I love em. I also love Limos and I love Charolais. So my conclusion is to get the best of all worlds by crossing this bull: http://www.topmeadowfarms.com/bullsdetail.cfm?id=18 Onto a Char female. Main goal is some cool looking show ring calves. But I would also like them to be able to go to the...

It's been a while since I have seen any carcass grading results...I think since my last steer in '07. But if I remember correctly, each of the carcass merrits is awarded points. I've tried to find these pointing systems, but no such luck. They aren't a figment of my imagination are they? I...

Just joined this forum! :D Sharing some of the calves we just purchased for 4-H. They are all purebred Limo's. Not the greatest calves for the show aspect of it, but should make some good carcasses. 3 of the four were meant to stay as bull calves...but we wanted them. :P All are born in April...
