Randi, calf on cow is a early november calf last year. TIME TO WEAN!!! When we pen in a couple weeks she'll be in the weanin lot for a couple weeks or so.
Haymaker,
That bull is one I raised from a two month old calf. Yes he's gentle, and yes I spose he could hurt ya..but I never put myself in a position where he can, now that he's full grown. When I put out bags of cubes I always put em out from the bed of the truck. He has a tendancy to want ya to hurry it up. I was in the truck when I took the picture. This is the bull that broke his leg a couple years ago and I just couldn't put him down. He was easy to treat because of bein' so gentle...but all the bawlin' n cryin' I done while thinkin' I's gonna hafta put my "baby" down....I swore I'd never get attached to a bull like that ever again. He's 4 1/2 years old now. I don't even wanna think about the day I hafta get rid of him. :cry2:
What we are cutting is a field that has mostly coastal and johnson grass in it. But bein' on a roadway there's alot of other types of grasses mixed in. It's a field we don't do a whole lot to other than fertilize. Because the highway dept. on occasion has come thru mowing the highways and will take half our hayfield, when all the rest gets one shreader wide. Can't afford to do too much improvement on it knowin that someone my just come along and cut it for ya. First cuttin this year we got 25 rounds offa this lil 4 1/2 acre feild....then no rain to amount to anything for a while. 2nd cuttin we got 6 bales :?
Was worried that we wouldn't be cuttin' anymore hay this year. But since we have had rains it looks like it'll be a good cuttin'. Will let ya'll know how many bales when we get done.
