Shuffling Bulls

All the discussion on the boards about AIing- and use of own bulls-- this year I did something that I may be either kicking myself in the rear for next year- or slapping my back...

I really like the heifers I've gotten out of the old Bannon of Wye bull- and the son I have Whitney Creek Bannon 730 T-- so this year for the first cycle I stuck him with 53 cows/heifers- and stuck the Legacy 726T bull with way less...

Today I moved everything together so they can pick up the slack for each other...

Since the wedding was over- I had a chance to get ahold of the camera and take some pictures of the cows, and all the grass and water....

After moving the cows I went looking for the main bunch- and found the Bannon 730T riding herd over his harem by several waterholes..

A OCC Magnitude out of a first calf Cole Creek Juanada Lad 81T first calf heifer...This is the calf that got snake bit- but seems to be coming out of it no worse for wear...

When the cows/bulls finally got together the Legacy 726T bull went right to work checking things out...

I have to laugh at this picture due to the story behind this heifer...This is Cole Creek Juanada Rita 69W- that my son bought this spring at the Cole Creek sale...After he got the heifers he bought loaded- he commented about how flighty this one was in the trailer- and since she went back to Dunn High Mountain (mgs) and OCC Great Plains (mggs) I was a little worried about her disposition...We penned them by themselves until I could get them rebranded- and in walking thru them daily to feed the bum calves and stuff (and packing a little cake treat in my pocket) she quieted down as much as the others-- and now comes up to get her head scratched or see if I have some cake in my pocket again... :wink:
