What an awesome pair! Let us know more. What is the cow? What is the calf? Very, very nice, IMO.

Calf is 3 wks old. Sired by a Lovana son I own...maybe one of the last alive today!!!!
Momma is Ankonian Elixir with a dash of N Bar EXT and even some old Ken Caryl Mr Angus.
The Momma cow is a pet cow that was a bottle calf in her day. Momma's weight was 1525 just after calving!

A 2-year old heifer that weighs 1525 after calving?
That's sure too big for what we want, but she still is a nice heifer.
I found a bull today that is a grandson of Finks 5522 and out of a Lovana daughter and goes back to Lovana 3 times. A yearling bull and his 2-year old full brother sell at Touchstone Angus, Lusk, Wyoming. I was really intrigued by that bloodline. Wish we needed one. I might find out about it anyway.
Anyone that wants to take a look go to Angus Journal website, www.angusjournal.com and view the sale book. These 2 bulls are 055 and 0264.
The more I think about it, we have a couple of bulls we could get rid of. :wink:

Lovana LOVED choc. chip cookies!!! Just a little side note to one of the greatest Angus bulls ever!!!
I worked/work for the company that bought him as a calf and was with him when we had to put him down. Now, that was a sad day!

That is a fine looking young cow and her calf and the right breed, to boot.
On the subject of feeding chocolate to animals, Paul Harvey said that lots of animals, dogs especially, die every year from eating chocolate. It probably doesn't hurt Angus bulls too much, though. :wink:

Didn't seem to hurt him one bit. In fact, he'd wait by the fence for me to come in....I guess he recognized my car as he'd start to bellow. As soon as I'd head his way w/ cookies in hand....he'd hush!
He lived to be almost 18 yrs old!!!! He's buried out in ScottsBluff @ the old ranch headquarters next to Dinklage!

Right now...what you're seeing in the pic is mostly clover. We keep clover all through the year .
We've got hayfields now that have grass in them standing @ over 17". Another few weeks and get some good weather and we'll be cutting hay!

Milk chocolate is not as toxic to dogs as baking chocolate, or the dark chocolate. I had a schnauzer that LOVED chocolate. Try as we may she would seek it out. (ya know, kids with candy, not thinkin where they put it) One year she ate a whole bag of hershey kisses at Christmas time. Then not 2 days later, she ate a whole box of chocolate covered cherries.
On another occasion she demolished a birthday cake that was left on the kitchen table. After the first time or two trips to the vet for the same reason, and treatment, he finally told me....Instead of bringin her in and havin to pay him to do it, 10 cc's of poroxide down the hatch, in about 10 minutes or less the problem is taken care of. Didn't take me long to learn to absolutely hate that dog. Ended up givin her away to an older lady who'd lost her older schnauzer. The lady said she very rarely had any chocolate in the house. She still has her, and thinks she's the greatest thing in the world.......glad things worked out....and I no longer hafta worry about her eatin my chocolate.
