Grants mini herd

[Grant]

Thanks. I hate skinny cows. I’ve been feeding hay since October and will until spring at this point. Pretty sure I have enough bought to last. Glad I carried some over from last year.

Very nice kennel setup Grant.

Thanks. I’m pretty proud of it.

This morning went out and was greeted by this guy. Unfortunately he died of lead poisoning...to the brain. Drug him out by the fence for today, I’ll dispose of him later. Big boy. I’ve suspected a raccoon getting in my cattle feed for about a week. With the nasty weather, he must have thought he’d hang out for the day.....BIG mistake.

Since my steer goes to freezer camp in June I wanted to get a new steer as a buddy for my bull and next years freezer. My dentists mini belted Galloway bred some of her husbands Angus cows. Should get this boy later this week.

My 1st calf should come any day. Hallie my Hereford look heifer has a full udder and is springing heavily. Wonder what a highland/Hereford/mini British park/wagyu cross calf is going to look like. Hmmmmm.

WOW ALOT OF DIFFERENT BREEDS

Yeah, I’m not raising for resale or showing. I chose to do all part mini part full size cattle for smaller, more manageable cattle. I want to put 1 in the freezer and sell one to cover some of my costs. Highlands are great mommas. Herefords make great beef. British park are well known for tender beef and wagyu....well that’s all that needs to be said about wagyu. Looking for some smaller, tender well marbled 2 year olds, that will fill a freezer with high quality beef.

Changed which steer I was getting and wound up with this one vs the one above.

Then added this cutie. Hallie had her calf. Our 1st on the farm. Herd went from 4 to 6 real quick. Unfortunately he was a little big for momma and I had to help out. He looked black right at 1st and turned silver as the day went on.
