I will have to take some recent photos. Untill then here are some older ones but I still have most of these cows.
Good little 800lb longhorn cow......has a calf every fall. Weaned this calf out of a simmi-angus bull at ~425. Weaned him a little early, he was under 6 months, But it will be fall before we get them up again so I pulled him off of her. He would have been over 500 if I had left him another 45 days. He brought more than Grandpa paid for her originally. Not bad considering the big brafords we have weigh and eat almost twice as much as her but they don't produce twice as much as she does.
same cow a few years back and a calf she raised
Another good small framed cow.
Grandpa has had this cow a LONG time so I am not exactly sure what this cow is but she looks and milks like a herford/jersey cross. The steer by her side speaks for itsself. This was early last fall during the drought. This year she has a hefer calf on the ground that allready weighs 300+. I'll probly keep it for a replacement.
Drought rations last year.
Moderate framed braford cow with last years heifer calf. Has another good heifer on her this spring.
I culled this cow last fall because she did not breed back. She got mastitis in half her bag and raised two good calves with half an udder. She was 20+ years old. Almost hated to cull her but she had to go.
I wish I had a whole herd of cows like this one. A few years back she raised twin steers and both of them weighed very close to 600 when we pulled them.
