Here is the remaining Galloway cross cow left on the place... she's eleven this spring

.
Here's her heifer calf... she may be a keeper

.
We kept and bred all of the heifers born in 2008. I've concluded after this experiment, I know absolutely nothing about heifer selection :roll: :? :lol: . My "top pick" was open, and these "less than desireables" have had the best calves.
The grey heifer's calf
I never could figure out why this heifer was a little flighty...until the sun shone in her eyes one day, and I could see they were crossed :shock: .
Her calf
I don't think the corrals are going to melt in time for branding on the 10th :roll:
Jim helped me doctor a sick cow today. He has cussed the snow daily for six months straight, but I pointed out it has kept him in shape :lol: . How many other 75 year olds are roping cows on foot?
The pairs are very happy with the ground which opened up this week...life is good! I'm glad to have them back into the timber.
She's on top of the world
