Hey Holm how are the eggs you won doing ? You may have said but I don't remember .

The breeder decided to ship 20 chicks of each breed instead of sending hatching eggs. I think he said he is shipping chicks next Monday?He is gonna message me and let me know.. He figured 40 chicks is easier than 4 dozen hatching eggs!

Black Copper Marans and what was the other breed?

took some pictures of the calves out in the big pasture.. They love all the room...

Doesn't look like it but he is already over 200lbs.. Pictures make them look so small..

The Holstein... He is growing great... Beef cows raise dairy calves better than any milk powder...

Another big bull calf...

This should be a nice heifer calf.. Her mom has plenty gut and lots of rib shape...

Some heavy "butted" calves lol

This is still really young and boy is he ever growing! He is HUGE!

A heifer...

One of my favorite cows...

This guy is going to be impressive... He is extremely heavy muscled and is the youngest calf out there..

Black #5 looks nice. Nice straight back. Looks like he is starting to grow into his tall frame.

He is my favorite. He is growing extremely fast. I may pic a show steer out of this group of calves for my last year but I’m not sure...


I don’t like “fancy” show cattle... I love a good commercial steer... But judges hate all the extra leather (all the neck skin out cattle have) in the show ring... I don’t like Angus because they are too clean.. Not enough skin IMHO... LOL

Hurry and register by the 15th you could show him 2 years. .... once as a prospect (or something similar)

I was hoping to set eggs this evening, glad I looked at my schedule 3 weeks from now, graduation and state track. Looks like I will be waiting another week
