17 spring calves were weaned Saturday.....spent a few minutes tweaking fence to keep them contained....supposed to be gone in a week. That leaves a main herd of 41 cows and 17 fall calves. Fall cows were supposed to be gone this week leaving about 20 dry cows.....instead I find the bull has been put back with the herd....and a phone call comes at noon stating weaned calves will be here till 3 Jan. hate being lied to....something to deal with later....at the hospital now awaiting delivery of first grand pup which should happen by mid-morning tomorrow.
Cows are on last drilled pasture plot and have 3 tame pastures left before going to the native unit for 4-5 weeks. No hay has been fed....supplement twice a week. This is one of the most efficient cows in the herd with her calf.....easy keeping and calm disposition....figure 3/4ths red angus and 1/4th Santagertrutis....nice hybrid vigor in the F2 cross.
