Fall Cattle photos

[allenacres]

I took some photosyesterday and thought I would share.
Nyla our 5-1/2 yo alpha cow

Reba will be 4 in december. She was very docile and led like a lamb after I got the halter on her

Hey! Is that camera beet pulp?

Freezerboy meets Wellington

Slow roast, who later went over my 4' no climb fence to get back to his mother. argh!!!!

itch scratch

Those calves do not like to be separated from Mom! Makes separating them harder. I have heard many a story about separating beef calves from Moms.

Beautiful pics. In dairy I think the jerseys have the cutest faces but, I would say for beef it's the highlands!

Ah, Amy, looks like it's weaning time at Allen's Acres! What did Wellington and Freezer Boy think of each other? Is Sweet Pea in with them? (Is Wellington still a bull, or did you steer him?)

Ok, I have to admit, your calves are cuter than mine!

It does make me wonder though. When I got my little tiny goat, my herd freaked out, BIG TIME!
I wonder what they would do if I added one of those!

I just love Highlands!!! They are such beautiful creatures~!

Beautiful pictures & love your names!! My cow was already used to goats but my goat had never seen a cow. He was so funny all bristled up making his ears pointy like horns! He tries to butt the bull but scampers away when Nash takes a step towards him! Cows are sooo cool, much easier than horses! J

amysflock- FreezerBoy has been pretty kind to both calves, kinda like a babysitter. Sweetpea has been making sure everyone knows she is the boss. Wellington is still a bull, going to try and keep him that way and sell him. I really need to update my web page and add a for sale section.

SlowRoast is still pretty vocal about being separated from his mom but no longer going through the fence.

He is a little bit of a loaner, only wants his mama

How funny! He looks like he's getting some brindle coloration. (Talisker's his dad, right? I think Talisker looks like a brindle mahogany, rather than red as he's registered.) And who's facing the camera in the bottom photo? Is that Slow Roast, too? I see some mahogany traits there, too, with the white along his sides. (I'm fascinated by this mahogany thing...both our girls are bred to a mahogany bull.)

Sweet Pea is probably so happy to be alpha over all the boys! Whee!

Cute pics! I really do love the looks of the Scottish Highlands. I got to see one up close and personal quite a number of years ago and told DH I wouldn't mind having one.
