Looking west to the start of the forested foothills - follow the cutline over the horizon and walk for 500 miles and you should finish up a few short miles north of gcreekrch.

Special snack for a single, solitary, skinny suspected twin carrier.

Looking northwest - another foggy start but another beautiful day in prospect.

Steaming, silage sabbatical snack.

Trying to train a cheap, readily available type of dog to round up cows. He needs some work on his outrun :wink:

Maternal inefficiency of the F2 cross? - a cow sired by a neighbors fence jumping polled hereford out of a red baldy dam. She is 250lbs heavier than her mother ever was and has yet to turn in a heavier calf than her mother did as a teenager.

Maternal inefficiency created by the use of an F2 bull from a "Cattlemans kind" program where they tried to cram it all in one - growth, milk, maternal, frame and selecting high EPD numbers :roll: - The result? a cow that can turn in a slightly above average weaning weight calf IF you are prepared to feed her extra in winter and cull 80% of her type by the time they should be 6th calvers. That's not a calf in front of her it's a 950lb bred heifer!

One of my favorite commercial cows - an F1 Luing x Red Angus cow.

A sign of spring with the first northbound geese spotted today. :wink:
