Here's a few pics I snapped this morning while we were doing chores. Al is considering taking these two in 4-H this year.......one heifer and one steer. They are the calves we got from Arizona, to put on the milk cow, when her calf died last summer, so he couldn't enter Wheezy in the County Bred Steer Show. But, I think these are some pretty good prospects, and if Al wins Grand Champion with the heifer this year, he can sell both the steer and one of his pigs......since we found out last year that the two critters the Grand Champ winner gets to auction off, can't be the same species...... :roll:
Bandita headed for breakfast (she was movin' right along...... :lol: )
Wheezy and Bandita at the breakfast table
Bandita ran Wheezy off the first pan, so he moved to the other one
One of Bandita when she was being more calm
Al and Wheezy, just inside the corral gate
My dad said that last one looked like a (can I say this here, without gettin in trouble?) Mexican Stand-off.........I told him no, that Al was just talkin to Wheezy and Wheezy was payin attention.......
Wheezy came right up to me, and was sniffing me all over, mostly the camera (he seemed to be fascinated by that). Bandita isn't quite as outgoing and friendly as Wheezy (in fact, Al says he thinks she's got more of a "Blondie" personality, than a "Tillie" personality, and Wheezy is more like Tillie has always been.....)
Guess we'll see what kinda progress he can make with her between now and the fair.......
So, any comments or criticisms about these two calves, to help him decide whether or not to take the plunge again? Thanks!
