Fall Pasture Pictures

[Anonymous]

I spent the afternoon moving some of the cows over into the fall pasture/stubble fields...With the almost 2" of rain we had the last couple of weeks up there- even the old dry crested wheat is greening up on the bottom- so they didn't know where to start first...

A nice looking heifer calf following her mother...These are mostly the older cows or later calvers as the younger ones and heifers are in the community pasture and won't be brought home til October...

Calves should pick up a bloom off this...From the eartag it looks like the Bannon bulls head in the corner of the picture...I had to trail thru the bulls and horses- and meant to leave the bulls- but my dogs were too efficient when I wasn't paying attention- and brought up the bulls too which I had to cut out....

Some even found the stubble fields- where the volunteer wheat coming up makes it pretty tasty....

My last "white angus" calf is looking pretty good- naturally found the kochia and weeds first...The old building in the background was built by my Grandpa in 1917 as the first house they lived in until the got the big house built...Now we use it as a grainery...

The little Whitney Creek Legacy bull is looking pretty good for having spent the summer chasing every cow that moved....

Some of the mares found the open gate too....

Your livestock is all looking good, Oldtimer. They are shiny, fat, and sassy, which is a combination that is hard to beat. Nothing like a rainy summer to produce lots of grass. Thanks for the pictures.

Looks like you're having a good fall. Your cattle look really nice, and your calves should weigh good. I know the yearlings in this area are coming in heavier this fall, and so I'm anxious to see what the calves are going to do.

Thanks for sharing .

Nice, OT. Very nice.

I think, and I bet you agree, that getting that short green growth
this time of year is better than grain for putting weight on calves!!
Makes for perfect feed, high protein, digestable and plenty of dry
matter on top of it.

Good for you.

Great pics OT. Cattle look great, as do the pastures. We've had the same sort of end to summer-start to fall. Lots of rain in the past month, so the pastures are great, and any fields that have been combined are lush green with regrowth. I'm waiting for the neighbour to haul his straw bales off of our home 1/2, so I can turn my steers out in it.

Also, I liked the pic of your Grandparents former residence, that was a darn good-sized temporary house in it's day. :lol:
