Checking the cows today

LOL. We took new blocks out and took the pieces back home to give to the 3 heifers we kept at home. I guess they do kind of look like a slab of meat!!

I went back and looked at that photo. I can see where they might look like slabs of meat but, I've seen that type of pic enough it didn't register that way to me. I guess it's all in what we are use to.

That last photo reminds me of the cattle I used to show in 4-H. I hurt my shoulder in a car wreck and had to give up that job The lady I showed for was so nice. She paid everything and I got to keep the prize money won. My name was even put on their registration papers so I could show them in junior classes for her at the bigger shows with Open and Junior classes. I sure miss them. I'm thinking someday I may get some mini cattle do I can be around cattle again and hopefully I will be able to lead them around easier if someone else halter breaks them for me.

I can't see the cow in pic #3 either.

I love cows and would love to have one as a pet. I met a man last weekend that has a 6month old heiffer that was bottle raised. They've named her Lobelia and I'm very, very tempted to get her.....but I really can't afford another critter to feed.

All my animals are pets....

There is no cow in picture 3!

Just beautiful!! Cows are such peaceful creatures. You're so lucky to have them!

I think I see Simental, Angus, Hereford and Charloais. Well, at least crosses of those.

Except for my 2 longhorn cross cows that are in a different pasture and one of them's heifer they're all a mix of Simmental and Angus. There's still a little Hereford blood in there from about 20+ years back I suppose. Had a few hereford cross cows back then. No Charlois tho. All of our cows have been born and raised on our farm.

Ahhh, the red/white ones are simmental then. There are also black/white simmentals, but I've only see red/white around here.

What about the gray/white ones?

We've had red/white, black/white, and also light yellowish/white simmental bulls in the past. The light colored cows are all out of the yellowish bulls.
