the nile heifer i donated calved the other day. first polled calf ever born on this place out of a cow i bred. 88lbs
little girl says they are "so cute".
sic 'em reds said:So has does it work that you donated the heifer and then have it at home to calve it? Did the kid that received the dontaion have it bred, show it, then bring it back to you to calve it out? And what is the sire of the calf?
I really think that heifer merit deal is cool. I'd like to see it here in our state associations.

Faster horses said:Our daughter had a polled Hereford heifer for 4-H and then as a cow
project. She was a nice cow and very gentle. She also had a Hereford steer as a 4-H project, that she called 'Buddy' that she rode, and when she took him to the fair weighing 1200#, all the kids rode him. I've got an
old picture somewhere that I'll try and scan.

i'd like to see that picture.
that reminds me of something i hear all the time. i spend a great deal of time visiting ranchers anytime i go somewhere and try to just feel them out on hereford bulls. most of the guys that are my generation and sometime guys a little older than me all seem to bring up a story about the last hereford bull they remember having on the place. it always goes something like this.... yeah - i got a picture of me as a kid after dad thru me up on the back of our old hereford bull.
