Nice get-up Murph!

Dang those fences are white! :lol:

That was my kid's summer job last year. I think they got more white on them than the pipe but they had fun.

Howdy Murph - I was thinking some of those steers look pretty fleshy to be going out to the field. Do you give them feed out there to keep them from loosing condition the first while?

 

[murph]

No feed just good green wheat. These steers just came in off of another wheat field so the are used to wheat. Even as fleshy as they are they still are projected to gain 2.5 to 3 lbs. or more per day. We just bring them in this time of year and run a whip over their backs, anything close to 800 lbs goes to the feedyard, these cattle in the picture weighed 625 so they should be ripe about the time the wheat pasture runs out or about May 15th.

Nice set of steers murph and a very professional looking set of facilities. Good looking pic of the kid too. Thanks for showing your pics.

Nice pictures, murph. The cattle, facilities, green grass, and clientele all look top-of-the-line. Thanks for posting.

hey murf
pic's look great
all them black's and the wheat looks
we got to keep all of our cattle but had to fence them in smaller areas so the farmers can cut some of that $5 wheat
i hope they get it but these hail storms make me think we should all graze out
but what do i know
until later

Thanks for all the nice comments. This was the first time I tried posting pictures without the help of my wife. I'm still not sure I did it the easiest way but at least you could see them. Maybe I'll get better and do it again.
