Gathering the pairs we vaccinated yesterday to move them to fresh grass on a meadow

Putting the pairs across the first meadow

Trotting right along

Drinking on the job

The Peach patrol

My dad and his new bride

Close-up of the happy couple

And again without his hat

The shadow rider

Black cows with their red calves

Destination fresh pasture

The shadows are growing long

Real good pictures Soap! Sure do wish the new bride and groom all the best!

Your dad got married? WOOOOO HOOOOO, Soap. And she looks like a
nice lady. Congratulations to them!!!!!!!

Your crew looks a little chilly, but Peach Blossom still has her lovely smile!

Thanks for the pictures. And for some reason, I always think the calves are biggest when they are red calves on black cows. Always have thought that...what do you say?

The red calves from black cows are pretty good doers. Some are better than others, as in everything. Probably our red calves out of red cows average a little bigger, but the red cows themselves are a little bigger than our black ones. I suppose if a person took the time to weigh each cow and each calf and compare ratios, it would be interesting, but that is more messing around than I want to do. :roll: :wink:

I often wondered if it was an optical illusion, but I always like the red calves on black cows...even if it doesn't make much sense...

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Senior Soapweed. What a lovely couple.

I was thinkin to myself too, that it looked windy and cold in several of the pictures. I sure aint lookin forward to cold weather, none whatsoever!

Tell your Dad Congratulaions from the crew at the Circle Y. Looking forward to meeting his new bride when he brings her to Canada to meet the other half of the family.

That picture of Peach and Saddle Tramp made my eyes water.

Sometimes someone will keep a black heifer because she is black. No one keeps a red one unless she is good. Why on earth would anyone keep a white one!!! :???: :lol: :lol:

 

[3waycross]

Those red calves are real nice. Who's their daddy??????? Red angus or something else?

 

[Hanta Yo]

As usual, your pictures are excellent! Thanks for sharing your days with us!

Your calves look awesome

Peachblossom and Saddletramp moving out look like Pony Express riders.
Sure wish we had a touch of your cold weather. It's been hot here. Around 90 for a week. Just got back from Wyo and Colorado where it was getting into 30's at night. I'm ready for fall.

 

[Miss N. The-Hills]

Congratulations to Bob and Bride!!
I knew they were sweet, but didn't know the knot was to be tied.

Thanks for the pictures. I haven't been on in a while, and yours was the first post I looked at. I knew I'd either see excellent pictures or great wisdom & humor.

 

[Shorthornguy]

Congradulations to the newly weds. Nice family, nice crew and some good cattle. Thanks for the pics. Hold that cool weather at the Nebraska line........winter will come soon enough and I am not ready.
