There is a neighbor place purchased by a man who lives the other side of Boise. He bought and shipped in 24 Galloway bred heifers in January 2024. He told me that they would be in high demand here. Hmmmmm not my monkey, not my circus. He comes over and checks on them once or twice a week. So last year around this time he bought a Galloway bull. So far this spring I only count 7 calves. He said the bull was a bit snotty and I don't see it anymore.
Yesterday morning I was out spraying White Top. Down at the far down stream end. Glanced over in the neighbor's field. There was a brand new Charolais calf trying to suck on one of his Galloway cows. He had that Galloway bull. Doesn't look like he got many calves from it. I looked it up. A calf born yesterday the cow was bred around August 12. The fire started July 17. By mid August I had a lot of fire refuge cows showing up. I never had a bull show up on my place but the timing is right to have one come down to his place. I called the neighbor who lives on the other side of the Galloway place. He laughed and said well at least he now has one good calf.
