Bovine biography

[leanin' H]

Been a long three days of chasing water. But hope to have turned the corner. It's significantly improved over where it was when I started. Went over tonight just because I'm a super worrier. Water was still running. Yipee.
Took a few pictures of the cows and the country.

Like mother like daughter.

Cohorts.

Spit bath

Panorama of the pasture I've leased. Pretty little piece of desert country. Sure needs some rain but I've been careful with it. Hope to stay here til august.

A few pictures of the old sisters. Opened a cross fence gate up tonight to let them into some fresh grass. They aren't taking any hurt. Have a good evening

Everything looks fat and juicy. It must take cows acclimated to the desert and what it has to offer. You don't need to take a back seat to anyone on cow condition. Thanks for the pictures. Glad your water deal turned out good for you!!

 

[Haytrucker]

Exactly what Faster said, those cows are slick and the calves are growing. Kinda like ruminants were designed to do...

Your cows are looking good. But I don't know how you raise cows on ground that flat. Mine are so use to leaning toward the uphill side that they would fall over on flat ground like that.

It's an optical illusion pal.

That is about the flattest piece of ground I run on though. It's at about 6000 feet and just foothill country.

We call those 'hillside gougers', which I am sure you have heard that term.

run Herford bulls on the main cow herd. the feeder that buys my calves likes it as the only premium he has been offered the last few years in a white face from a packer in KC
