Here's a link to a video I shot a few days ago. The Montana Hereford Association is trying to put together a video of montana bred heifers to play in the background at our display booth at the MSGA convention.

I enjoy seeing all the pictures from around the world on this thing - thought I would share something from our part.

average birthdate would be around april 20th. I just sold a pot load of commercial bred heifers and they averaged 1037 on 11/20. This group are my replacements and they averaged 1050 something. I had just pushed this group about 4 miles to their winter pasture - thats all they will get unless it gets 30 below and the wind blows 50 mph and they won't come out of the breaks. They have never seen a kernal of grain.
 
thanks - here are the rest of the short videos I took, which one would you send for use at the display booth

Those are a nice set of heifers. Looks like you are a good steward of the land also.
I have to ask, what is the story of the heifer with the black points, I take it they aren't all purebreds.

That's the start of his Black Hereford herd. :roll:

We have to be good stewards in our dry, fragile conditions. A couple years of too much grazing pressure in dry conditions really hurts.

Those heifers are all registered purebreds but one. The one that isn't registered is the solid red one with goggle eyes that shows up in there in the background a couple of times. Too much pigment for me.

The one with the black points is purebred. I have a full sister to her and she doesn't have anything like that nor anything else that I have seen in her pedigree. I'm not sure but I put it on how intensely line bred she is. I've seen herefords from time to time that have had a little black on the switch of their tail. I can't explain it - I don't like it either.

How's that baby doing?

These cows are one thing but here is what I am most proud of. Our baby girl (Reese) is 11 months old and I can't get enough of her and her brothers. Our oldest boy turned 10 on Dec 2 and my wife Tara and I took the kids down to the falls and celebrated his birthday and went swimming. We had a blast. Here is a couple of pictures from our night.

Birthday boy Clark - turned 10, soaking in the hot tub

Nelz (7) also soaking

Reese - warming up in the hot tub - (she gets her looks from her mom but she won't let me put a picture of her on here)

Her first time in the pool

Here was another picture of Clark this summer with his grand champ 4-h pig

Actually both boys did a good job taking care of "gip"

Great pictures, looked like a nice bday celebration!!! She is a doll! You should be proud of them and the cattle :)

If I had enough money for a potload of heifers, I know where I would be going! :wink:

I have also had a heifer in the past with a black/dark nose that was purebred. It was actually a heavily pigmented nose that appeared black at a distance. I agree, its not something that I find very appealing either and I sold that heifer.

I don't know if you get it or know someone that has it but look at the December 2008 Hereford World Magazine cover picture. This cow doesn't have as much but it is the same thing... and here I thought the HW magazine was worthless!
