Gizmo Angus Blog

Ok you can go to our web site and see some of the cows and bulls in their working clothes http://www.gizmoangus.com I will admit due to time limitations I took the short cut of posting photos of sires and grand sires instead of going out and getting the photos of the bulls. I should of know I would get grief about it (it is ok cause I deserve it) but I am a wimp when it comes to cold weather and it has been cold here between the weather and the holidays I just ran out of time and energy and I just didn't go out and get the pictures. You have made me think about it and I will try to get some photos posted of the calves.......
 
It is me and I was freezing to death and had enough clothes on that I was like the Micheln man! We try to go to Denver every few years and that was one of the trips and we went snowmobiling it was a blast and the heated handles on the snowmobile were wonderful! I had to drive because Ronnie had a farm accident the week before this trip and lost his thumb in the head gate a long painful story. So I have been where it gets cold I admire those of you that have to fight the cold every day to take care of your cattle.
 
Our cattle are fairly tough. They have thick fur coats with leather liners. :-) Some people never get used to the cold and some of us can't take the heat. We console ourselves with the fact that there are very few creepy crawly things to concern our selves with all winter and the house is quite temperate. :wink: I would think it would be easier to keep a cow warm than to cool her down? :?
 
Summers here are brutal for the cattle and black coats don't help. We have to put shade screens in some of the open pastures that don't have any trees but they adapt, we actually cull cattle that don't deal with the heat (the ones standing panting with there toungs hanging out) they really need to go on down the road. We could use a few more trees in the pastures but those pesky hurricanes keep knocking them down. I don't imagine you would want to be here in August. Yesterday was my kind of winter day high in the low 70's sunshine nice breeze awwww yep my kind of day lol! excuse my spelling errors !
 
Say gizmom,
In your photo gallery on page 11, there's a picture of a flat, irrigated field with people and Angus cattle. Where's that at? That wouldn't be Heart Mountain near Powell, Wy in the background would it?
