this is brittany's rooster,she called him henry lol
Don't know which picture I like best - each subject is so good loooooooooking. What kind of farm are you running?
well my FIL has about 40 head and we only have the rooster left but getting him some hens soon, and 3 dogs and 3 aquariums with fish
plus we had some baby eastern blue birds ,her 2nd litter, but the snake has gotten both of them,my FIL just likes raising cattle i guess you could say maybe a hobby thing? he is retired and has to have something to do lol but he has been raising them for over 25 years,so he likes it pretty good my daughter(13) loves living on the farm and she helps him when he needs it,like help pulling a calf out of a cow,or helping running them into the corawl (sp) and giving them shots or worming them very peacefull here, thxs s omuch for asking
Sounds divine. Do you have milking or beef cows? I just got 4 chicks this year, so far they are just a delight. One of them is starting to look like a roo, can't keep roo's in the city..........makes me sad, he is by far my favorite, just chuck full of personality.
theyre beef cattle,yes it is so nice out here i love it yes the rooster i love to hear him in the mornings lol thxs
Nice herd. I have a bull just like yours and I got some decent calves from him. I'll bet you have good grass all year long. Is the southeast drought affecting your land? I live in the desert and have irrigation. I have great tall bermuda grass for about 9 months of the year as long as I keep alot of nitrogen on it. I just about break out even on my small herd after fertilizer, water, winter feed, and vaccines etc. The government says if you don't make a profit, it's just a hobby, but it feeds several families with great grass fed beef.
yes we are in a drought but have been getting some rain and we do have a irrigation system lol we live near a lake and that has helped us if my fil wouldnt have started watering when he did he would have had to reseed his pastures
very nice calves there,i love the black baldies i think they are so cute with the white faces thxs for sharing and good luck
i laughed my but off at this guy yesterday he was playing with tall weeds yesterday ,like trying to buck them lol he was so sweet and adorable and he looked at me like"what is wrong with you" roflmbo i just love them when they are so tiny they do weird things hehehe
ohhhhhh and he is going around trying to suck on other cows lol there is another black baldy that we have shes not old enough to have a calf yet but he is sucking on her and she lets him silly silly boy heheheheh
