I finally got our "for sale" ads up on our association website!clap Next time I'll try to get better photos when the backdrop is appealing, but oh, well. I'll post the link in the "for sale" portion of this site, too. It'll be interesting to see what kind of responses we get, as folks who already have Highlands listed for sale are having a hard time finding buyers. fl
They sure are looking nice! I love Annabel's coloring.
Thanks, Kitty, we're pleased with how they both are turning out, too!

You bred back to the same bull this year too, didn't you?

Sheila (T-Bone's mom) bred back to the same bull, but Bridgit (Annabel's mom) didn't, so she's now hopefully pregnant by Umberto of Hem-Loch, a 2-year old champion brindle Highland bull who's been visiting us since June 30. She was scheduled to go into heat this past Tuesday if she wasn't bred, and she didn't, so I'm going to call the bull's owner today and arrange pick-up. We're ready for him to go home. :D

Yeah, bulls are no fun to have around.

For some reason I was thinking you had Tabor back a second time. :idunno It's been one of those months here--I can't keep up with what I'm doing much less anyone else. :gig

They are not only in a secure coop and run they have been locked into crates and pens to figure out whose doing what. No chance of something stealing the eggs.

You could turn the AC down just a tad instead of freezing.
