Weather man says a weeks worth of over fifty weather.... The grass is actually starting to grow again, which will save on hay. Cows have barely touched their hay today.

Oh, yeah Wether pen empty now. Both Alpines bred and back in their pen. Alfonso the Spanish Buck is pacing the fence now that his ladies are gone.
Alfonso is warming up to me but loves my wife...figures.

I'm not sure but I think one of the Jerseys might be carrying twin cause she's HUGE. Keeping an eye on her this will be her fourth calving. Though a couple other cows are due before this one.

I still remember the old bull my Uncle had on the Family Farm. He was a grand grey bull. He was either a Limousin or Simmental cross but man he was impressive and served many years on that farm. Of course he was the one that I tempted fate with as well. I still want a bull like that someday though hopefully one that won't try and kill me.

Grey, you say? I have to disagree about being limmi or simmi. Sounds like a Charolais cross, or jeeze, even possibly a Murray Grey, since I've seen pictures of MG bulls that are absolute TANKS. And those bulls are from Australia!

You're lucky you got nice warm temps where you are. Here it's been a constant up to mid 30 s down to 0 F up and down trend, with still plenty of snow on the ground. Weatherman here says that it's supposed to get a bit colder. I say good, because it's SUPPOSED to be cold up here in January!! I just hope we get a bit more snow before March, wouldn't be surprised if we get a nasty blizzard come April...

I seriously doubt the Murray Grey but we'll see as I asked him. Just have to wait as he uses snail mail.

Well this will be the last possible day of the nice weather. Big sensational storm coming sounds like either freezing rain or lots of snow, yay.

I think I angered a few ladies so sensitive, lol.

The tiny bunnies are growing fast. They are pretty darn cute. The sad thing is my Vet came and bought one, lol. He thought his daughter would love one and soon after that news spread and the other sold soon afterwards. I doubt any will be used for meat. No need to worry though bunnies reproduce fast and soon the Orange doe will have some. Also the D'Argent or whatever their called. I'm too lazy to look it up.

Had to look on Rabbit reproduction just now, its hard to remember all my animals gestation rates you know. I think my Orange doe will be due very soon along with my D'Argent doe. Hopefully these two will give birth to larger litters.

Sounds like the bull was a Simmental.



The upgrading program in America has introduced a wide range of colors to the breed. The original coloration for Simmentals was red and white or gold and white. All colors and all color patterns are accepted within the American Simmental Association
