Winter is finally loosening it grips on northern Montana- and we're getting Billings type weather :D -- temps got up to near 50 so I felt like packing a camera with me today to take some pics of my buddies..

First one I find in travels today is the little Juanada Lad X OCC Magnitude bull calf...

Heres another picture of him getting lunch from mom- WCR Floret 830..

Heres WCR Mary 845 with her OCC Magnitude heifer calf..

The only reason she had the EXT high headed look was she was wondering if I had any cake in my pocket- and little one was looking for a backrub... :P

And heres one of those EXT great granddaughter (N-Bar Prime Time D806) daughters coming up to nose in....

Same heifer- a Cole Creek Juanadamere 5U daughter sired by Prime Time D806.. She was one of our top weaning weight heifers last fall- out of a heifer...

Since weather is looking nicer- I decided to turn the bulls out of the little dirty corrals I've had them in to make room for corraling heavy cows when the weather was nasty...
I had to kick the Legacy 3R9 son in the rear to get him up- then he had to stretch and relieve himself before he got in to big of a hurry....

Soon as they hit the bigger corral- it was a bullfight for "king of the turdhill" rights...The Bannon of Wye son on the left- the Legacy 3R9 son on the right...15 minutes later I found them both stretched out on the "turdpile" enjoying the warm sun...[/

And on my afternoon check- I found calves laying all over enjoying the warm temps....Problem is- even with all the snow we had-last fall was so dry- nothing is running- and everything is going in the ground which unbelievably has little frost....

Nice pics OT,i guess you did do some drying out,but is winter really leaving.Been nice here last few days in the 60's,but rain on the way just as we're drying out.Enjoy the sun.
 
Everything is looking good hopefully your 845u's dont attack me when i check them tonight. I better remember to put cake in my pocket or else.

Well- Leinie did the night check for Grandpa- and didn't get ate- so you should survive.... Yep 845U is a cakeaholic- and about has addicted her calf... :wink: But I darn sure like it that way then a couple of those witches we got rid of last fall..
 
Thanks for the reminder and welcome i just have to give OT a little heck about his pets. But i do appreciate the fact i don't have to worry about them taking me. I know i have a constant companion when i check at night 845 is with me all the way.

I like the looks of your 3R9 bull

Thanks - I got him from Whitney Creek Ranch- # 15800327- goes back about 16 times to Rito 707 and 3 times to Shoshone Viking GD60--he's only about a 4 frame- but one of his sons last fall weighed 795 at weaning time....Real hustler at breeding time-but both bulls are easy keepers- and stay fat year around on just grass/hay....
After seeing a couple years of what they can do- they are going to get a lot more use this year rather than the AI bulls- because I like them better than what I can find in the studbooks....
 
both good lookin bulls,be interestin to see how their calves finish.
good luck

PS You are gonna get outa shape stradlin that 4 wheeler,saddle one of them horses. :wink:
 
Got to 59 here yesterday with a 30+ mph wind- and the snow really went...Supposed to be a little cooler today, with a chance of a shower- but the wind is really howling...Still not a drop of runoff water in the creeks- all going in the ground... No frost in the ground- as I drove a few steel posts yesterday- and they go in easy....We're going to need all the moisture thats supposed to come after the fog- or the dust will be flying soon...
This old Great American Desert can go from one extreme to the next overnight it seems.....

Getting closer to being 1/4 done calving- and running over 80% bull calves.... :shock:
 
Weather turned nasty during the night- temps dropped- wind came up- and the Canadians decided to share some snow with us- and naturally the cows decided to speed up dropping calves...

The 12 year old shorttailed cow to the right of the orange 5W eartag decided to have twins....Last year it was two of her daughters that had twins... Neither of those have calved yet this year- altho I already commented a couple weeks ago that one looked like she may have twins again- but I never thought Grandma would...
Definitely a genetic thing!!!
