Been taking lots of pics of the cows the last few days, and thought I'd share them!
This is the mom to my calf again, she reccognized her and gave me some threatening grunts,

A young cow and her bull calf (I think she'd be called a first calf heifer)

A bull calf, I think this is my mom's cow, O.C.'s calf,

A group of my dad's heifers, I like the one hid in the very back, just before the pics she was by the fence letting me give her a good neck rub, she was eating it up! The poor girl is covered in old scars, Dad said he thinks she was attacked by a dog (or dogs?) when she was a calf,

And another of Mom's heifers,

And a heifer I really like! Is there anyway to know if a calf will be polled this early? I noticed one young calf had swurls on her head where horn buds would be, w/ goats this would be a good indication that she'd be horned, are cows like that?

And lastly a pic of my steer, Mickey!

Nice herd, good photos.

"Dads Cow" looks like a Simmental, yes ?

No calf with her ?

Half Simmental! She's one of my favorites! Not sure if she has a calf right now.

There's three animals that I really like out of the ones you showed:
-Angus heifer
-your Dad's cow
-Mickey.

Me thinks that Mickey should've been left intact, because the way his conformation is, he would've made a really nice bull! He's nice and long and has got a good lot of condition on him.

Which one are you calling the angus heifer?

I'm suprised you say that about Mickey, I am wishing he was still a bull right about now. But I probably wouldn't have been able to keep him this long if he was.

The heifer that's one down from that black-baldy in the first couple pics. The only heifer on your post that actually looks like an Angus. :p
