My neighbor has a set of cows just like that-some nice uddered critters you have there. My buddy finishes his cattle and does pretty well at it-he crosses them with Galloway and Angus bulls mostly.

Nice pictures some fine looking bovines. Grass looks like it's coming good. Should be coming even better after these next few days of showers, lets hope.

Boy JB. A fellar would have to make a big old reservation loop to catch a couple of those old girls. :wink: :wink:

Is her name "Algebra"?.....her brand looks like an algebra problem on a math test....LOL "=2 to the power of 1/2-"

I don't name my cows, but that would be a good one for her.

The =2 was on her and the +hanging reverse s is the boys brand.

Algebra. I like it. :D

I didn't bring her up, I just saved her from slow starvation on the guys place who brought her up. :wink:

She broke one tip off during the ionter and the other just a couple weeks ago. Only thing I can think of that would cause it.

As for being protective, some are, some ain't. When we ran red angus and the crosses along with the few longhorns, by and large it was the angus that you had to watch. The longhorns are pretty mild to humans but don't care for dogs and I suspect coyotes and lions. I've sure never had any trouble with any, anyhow. They don't get wild when something bothers them, they are calm and study it and plan their action. If any got mean with me they would be steak and hamburger. :wink:

And Soap, if they are gonn'a be cheap, they may as well be pretty. Ain't nobody tryin' to streal any of them, anyhow. :wink:

You cross a purebred l;onghorn cow with about any good english or continentel bull anfd they will wean off calves the weigh right up with any.

The 17 year old cow has raised 15 calves before this one. No cost of replacement. No problems.

I just love good cows like that. :D

And I've yet to butcher a corrente or longhorn who was't tender and delicious. An old feeder told me years ago, he loved them as they never get overfinished and grade choice every time, while eating less per day.

Feed lots like to sell their corn. That is how they make money. They want cattle that will eat a lot of it. I like mine finished on grass. And I'm stingy, I don't want them to eat more than their share. :wink:

But yup, their calves won't bring quite as much per pound. Good thing they will raise a lot more of them. :wink:

Come on over and I'll get the camera and let you try to rope one. Me? I'm gonn'a watch and take pictures. :lol:

We had a steer we would would pen in a shed every spring and catch him by the foot and the horns so we could measure his rack. At the end, he was 6 foot, straight across, tip to tip. It was kind of tricky to get a rope on his horns and I was a foot and close up to him. :lol:

He stood about 15 1/2 to 16 hands at the withers when I shot him at 9 years of age. I've got his head and need to go pick up his hide, which I had tanned. It was a biiiiigggg hide! :shock:

Interesting pictures JB, thanks for sharing. Is there any market for a head with a big set of horns on it if one of 'em dies?

A little if you can find someone who wants one.

I made a trade with a feller who's son does taxidermy. He got a head off from one of my cows, that his son mounted and I got the beef. When the old 17 year old cow dies or I butcher her, he has to pay to have his son mount her head for me. Sounded like a pretty fair trade. :)

Bring a tag along as I don't tag them. Just ear mark Jr's. (he's gotten all fussy on me and dang sure wants to know his at branding time. :wink: )

I ain't ascared of any of these. Weeelll, maybe one of the crossbred's with no horns. She put me in the rafter last spring after I went to the bother to help her calf. :lol:

I've sure had way more near disasters with them angus than I ever have with the longhorns. Calm cattle. Like their babies. Ain't afraid to let a man touch them, but don't want no canine to chew on one. :wink:

I think it's because we will put up with a nasty temperment on polled cattle more than we will with horned cattle.

Glad you approve of Jr's cattle. They are pretty nice, gentle cows, for what he had to give for them. Maybe a little thin when we got them, but they are just coming three's. He's gotten several baldy and brockle faced calves. Must have had a hereford bull running close as they claimed they were bred black. :wink: :lol:

Cull the rip. Just like any other cow that is too agressive.
