What's going on at the ranch

[per]

Let us know if you figure a way to make money with cows.

It would be a novel idea. :wink: :lol: :lol:

Take picture of said cows. Insert picture into grader cab. Cows will be with you while you make money. 100% done calving heifers in 23 days. Cows 75% in 21 days.

Move to city. Pimp cows out as organic alternative to lawn care (mow, weed and feed). Count cash. :lol:

Already do this for a few acreages. No charge, free grass. The cows are doing what cows naturally do. Only bred the hfs for 25 days so it is not as great of a feat as it sounds. :wink:

Getting ready to brand tomorrow.
Making rolls, salads, potato casserole, desserts and getting the roast ready for the cooker tomorrow.

Got my new stove and it is time for a serious breaking in. :wink:

The more the merrier.

Hope I have enough, but then I always have enough left over to send home with people.

Plannin on cuttin the first hay field either tomorrow afternoon or Sunday. Been needin to do it for a week or more...but with the rain that's been in and out of the area off and on thru this last week...wasn't happenin.

Rain passed us by again so I probably should have cut today. Sprayed some weeds and worked on some fence instead. Not really looking forward to cutting. Going to be a rough ride over some of it.

Yep- that would make a person happy....We had 73% on first cycle- and we're sitting right a little above 90% today- with the second cycle ending tomorrow....All the follow alongs should (and darn sure look like they will calve by May 15)....

And "KNOCK ON WOOD"- no frozen ears, or tails, or whatever...Except for those calves lost because I didn't get them out of the snowdrifts early enough when they started calving 15+ days early- the calving year has been great....Really a good calving year- except for the early deep snow...
And so far no stray Char bull white/grey/off color calves or anything- so I'm waiting to give the buyer a bad time on what he will dock on to get his whiskey money from this time :wink:

Had plenty of people here and the branding went quick. Had plenty of food.

Wind is howling like crazy and had a small shower when we got done.

Have 9 head left to calve.

Yep, I had great calving as well, and actually enjoyed it. It went as good as it possibly could have considering the weather, the amount of heifers, and the labor force . This was the first year where I calved out mostly genetics I've been shooting for, and am pretty excited. I hope the trend continues through fall.
