Bred heifers

Crunching cake

The yellow tag means she will calve in April.

A bird of a feather flocking all by himself

The hay pile is still relatively intact.

Cows on cake and meadow aftergrass

Sundown shot

Another one

Three cousins and their mothers

Intent upon something

More boring old black cows

Black bovine backsides

Grasping at straws

A moon and a mill

Same moon, same mill

I drive and she does all the work.

Heifers

A distinguished lady

Out of an Angus cow and a horned Hereford bull. She belongs to my neighbor.

Packing quite a bit of winter hair

Looking the other way

Heads up

Nice evening

Sunflowers on a hill

Just clouds

More of the same

Grand finale

Cows look to be in great shape. Wish we had your lack of snow. We've got an easy 12" or better with up to another 5" forcast for tonight and tomorrow.

looks like you have grass, hay and very little snow…life is good

Thanks Soap, your cattle are in great condition.

Nice pictures. Those cows look to be getting cavy. When do you start?

Thanks for the nice comments.

Bulls were turned out from May 16th through May 29th, so due date on the heifers is February 22nd, with the other cows right behind them. All we can do is take one day at a time. :wink:

Nice pictures as always Soapweed.

Did you get any snow? Those clouds are buttermilk clouds, and look like a snow on the way.

Your cattle look great, as usual. Our calving party starts at the same time, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for taking time to post pics .

I look at those cows standing on bare grass and I cannot imagine feeding cows in those conditions in the wintertime. :shock: More like a foot or two of snow here. Although I'm sure that you have seen your share of that as well.

 

[Big Swede]

After the last few days I'll bet you've got some South Dakota top soil on your Sandhills don't you? Cattle look top notch as always.

Looks like Peach is doing fantastic after her knee surgery. Does she still go for PT?
