THE little SUPRISE!!!

On Monday I had posted about a little suprise we had when we went out to the pasture to take pictures. That little suprise was a new baby bull calf out of donor Sassy!!! He is a Dirty Harry. He was 90lbs unassisted, as vigorous as one could be, and Sassy couldnt have been a better mother!!! Very protective, letting him milk without moving, and claimed him immediately! It was quite the sight to see!! Very impressive to see mother nature at her best. Here are a few pics of the calf getting up.

Money Man Bull

Here is an updated picture of our 2010 Money Man bull calf. His dam is Oreo. You can see her picture at the top left of the page above the links. He is for sale and will continue to be this fall. Get him before he's gone as we've already had much interest on him!!

The Herefords

Here are some rough pictures of our hereford cows on the pasture. They are in their "working clothes" and not cleaned up AT ALL. We'd just gotten rain the previous day, so everyone was pretty DIRTY!!! Flushes and embryos available on all hereford females now!

Reserve Champion Hereford Steer Jasper County Preview Show

We had a successful weekend so far!!! We showed the Reserve Champion Hereford steer at the 2010 Jasper County Preview show. This is Homers'(name of steer)second show of the spring and the second time Reserve Champion!! We had lots help from family and friends. A special thanks to Justin Olson of Olson Family Shorthorns for clipping Homer and helping fit him. We wouldnt have been able to get Homer ready without his help!!! Thanks again Justin! I'll be posting pictures as soon as they are available.

Just A Few Calf Pics

These arent the calf pics I recently posted about, but some I just snapped when I got home today. Not near the quality of the others, but they give you an idea of how hte calves are coming along. The pictures really dont do them justice, you've gotta see them in person to apppreciate the quality here!!! Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting the blog!

A LITTLE Suprise!!!!

Well me and my buddy went back out to the pasture to snap some updated calf pics. They are progressing into major show animals like wildfire. We couldnt have been more happy with how our breedings turned out. Oh and we got a nice little suprise when we went out to snap pics!!!! Our Hannibal Donor Sassy calved to Dirty Harry!!! 90lbs unassisted just like last time. The calf basically slid out and was up and milking within TEN minutes!!! We recommend Dirty Harry to anyone who wants a saleable and showable calf out of a first calf heifer. He is a bull calf and already has that look to him. We will get pics up as soon as I can upload them. Check back this week and we'll have pics!!!
