Out to Grass They Go

[Jake]

Finally got the last of the cows out to grass. We are going to use timed AI this year to save on time and these are some calves out of some of the cows that we deam worthy to attempt raising a bull calf.

All that green grass makes a nice back drop for your pictures. Thanks for sharing.

We used Magnitude a few years back and was real happy with the bull calves and the heifers. I hope you are as well.

I really like the looks of the first calf heifer. NICE!!!

We are using Magnitude again this year. I got 20 straws on him. I ordered some OCC Missing Link, OCC Prototype, and OCC Nightwatch as well. I know next calving season can't get here quick enough.

All that green stuff surrounding your cattle? What is that? I've read about something called grass that sounds a lot like what you have pictured, is that it? :wink: I really need to re-locate to some place that has grass. Ours sticks it's head up and the wind or frost makes it grow backwards. :roll: Oh well, i'm already really good lookin', smart as a whip and really really humble, so if i got rich ranchin' i may become hard to live with! :wink: Nice calves and REALLY NICE GRASS!!!!(thou shalt not covet thy web-neighbors pasture)

How about OCC Homer? I think he is a really good bull.
Just wondering why you didn't use him.

Have you seen any Prototype calves Jake? I've heard some good things about him, but haven't found anyone who has seen any calves.

I worked for Tim last summer so I saw a bunch of them. They are super thick and muscled very well. The heifers are very feminine and the bulls very masculine.

We don't use Homer simply because we don't need that much calving ease and he really is just a cow maker. His bulls never quite turn out like you would hope.
