Next year I should have a beautiful Buckskin foal from Emily. Had one more Hereford Heifer today out of my premium group she's the first. I'm trying to breed a group of my best Herefords to European Hereford bulls as I am looking the older body type.
Got some brooding hens I'm letting set so I can begin selling chicks of to the many new and old families around me.
On a sadder note Cassie past last night from I believe Colic. She was a wild horse but had a sweet heart and will be missed especially in the morning when she would Kney at me when I walked out the door. (She just wanted her Oats). Dug a grave with the backhoe for her like I do all the others. I wish she would of complain loud or something because I didn't hear her at all last night.

Its really foggy out this morning. After the fog clears I'll move the Sheep to a fresh pasture. Everyone is liking all the Kentucky Blue Grass to eat. The sow's will be going into a fresh pen to root up.

Sorry about your horse.
Hey if you're looking for quality Herefords you should look north, not east. I've heard of some quality Hereford breeders up north that you can get some semen from (can't quite remember who they were though...I know there's some in Alberta and Saskatchewan). Herefords up here in Canada seem to be of better quality than the Herefords in the states, and you'll find a few that stick with the old-style genetics and colouration. From what I've heard the European Herefords aren't that great for older body type, since they seem to have been getting away with infusing some Continental blood in them, at least from the pictures I've seen from another forum.

Yes, I'm fully aware of the further dillution of the European stocks. Its unfortunate but there are still those who cling to the old ways. I bought my semen last year from good old England after much research.
My animals are enjoying their new pastures or lush green grass.

Woke up to multiple baaing. Looked out the front window and saw several new lambs. I must say I had kinda forgot about most of my sheep being due...
The other half handled the books and now I'm checking them for sure. Sundance, Butch and Rolley are very happy to have the new lambs around.
