Hi Everyone,
I sold my jersey, my holstein is not old enough to breed yet, and my brown swiss is drying herself up. SO I am taking a break for a while. I wanted to share some pictures of my calf crop for this year.....these are (most of) my beef calves. We have some weaned calves that we bought also but these are the ones we had born.
Myrtle is a registerable red beefmaster. We bought her mom as bred and this is what we got. Myrtle's mom is an ex-show heifer, yellow colored.
Mayfly was AI sired by a Charolais, and out of a dark red Braford. She does not look much at all like the other AI sired calf (Yeller Feller) that we got from this bull......Mayfly is shaped like her mom.
Yeller Feller is also AI sired by the same Charolais that sired Mayfly. Yeller Feller's mom is an F1 tigerstripe Braford. This is a real nice beefy calf with a thick deep butt! He is a scratchin hound lapdog!
Peach was AI sired by a white Brahman, and out of an orangy-red hereford cow. She has a dirty yellow area on her neck and her nose. We think she is double dilute, with her pink skin and white hair! Not what we expected! But yay she is a heifer!
Dewdrop was born yesterday. She is AI sired by the same white Brahman as Peach, and out of a dark red hereford cow. She was 301 days gestation! Well cooked.....
I have to include a picture of Cinnamon. She was newly born when we bought her at the salebarn with her mom. She has the UGLIEST mother cow you have ever seen. So ugly in fact that the auctioneer declared she couldn't belong to that cow and sent them back to get them sorted right. We are still not real sure she came out of that cow! Cinnamon is a TOTAL lovebug.
Well those are most of my calves for this year. Which is your favorite?
