Is this cross would make a good family cow?

Don't know where your getting your information but mine came from the UK Angus society and the original families that started the breed.

so you know the original families Huh? I'm getting my information from the truth, and figured that I'd hit up the Red Angus ass'n to back it up.

Lol, no I don't know the original families. But I did a novel thing and researched. That pdf is an interesting version.

so are you calling the red angus ass'n a liar?

This has gone way off subject.

Farmerboy I like your Pigs and Cows and wish you great luck with them.

Ok, gotta stop this before it gets out of hand, and start a new topic, well sorta. LOL


I took bunch of new pictures of Maybelle and Bella using the standard and vivid pictures.


Standard-

Vivid-

Mm, there is a bit of differences of color in both pictures.


Now standard pictures of Maybelle-

Warning! Stinky picture!



This is Maybelle's feces and it does not look right to me. Is it worms?

Your calf looks lovely!

What do you think is wrong with the poop?

 

[Farmerboy]

It looks like deer pellets, not like a normal cow pie. If it looks ok, then I won't worry.

 

[redtailgal]

I wouldnt worry about it.

 

[Symphony]

Poop looks good to me.

Your right about the Vivid difference. That little calf will be a lovely dark brown color. She is really coming along nicely with that great mom and owner to take care of her.

Thanks!

I will take pictures of her once a month to record her color changes.

I found this on Craigslist. Is it practical for us to get one for one cow? We plan to have about 3 cows total in the next couple years. Bella, Maybelle, and Bella's next heifer calf.

for that money, it had better be half full of semen...

I've bought two used tanks in the last couple of years, and not paid that for either of them. My last tank was 5 years old, and priced to me for half what the guy paid for it-- after he found the receipts. I ended up paying $217 for it, but it also included several straws of semen of some really good bulls. Most of the Angus bull, retail were priced at 25-35-75- and 100 a straw. Granted, i had no use for that semen, and couldn't sell it for that-- but I did end up breeding some cows and heifers down the road for a friend= and got it out of the semen. Almost paid for my tank really...

The thing about tanks, you never know when they'll fail-- and you'll never know until it happens. Gamble we all take. You'll have to pay to get them filled, atleast 4 times a year, and that costs will be something around $150 a year. Right now, my tank is at the neighbors, and we get a 2 tank discount- and I pay just over 100 a year to have my half of the bill filled.

For 3 cows, I'm betting you won't need a semen tank. The thing about not having any cows- is you'll buy all kinds of semen, and eventually you'll not have a use for it. That stuff adds up after awhile. If you have interest in breeding AI- I suggest find a close friend and buy the semen when you're ready for it, and keep it in their tank-- if they'll agree to it...

She's definitely a wild-type colouration, man was I wrong !! Pictures certainly can throw you for a loop at times with the wrong color balance, angle, and other distortions!!
