Morning stringbean and Ralphie.

 

[Bogtown Chick]

Just got in from putting the broody lavender Ameraucana in the broody coop with 6 eggs. She’s been broody for a while. I’m a little worried about her but I think she’ll set. Is she ever ticked about changing nests though. Uff da. Kitty was the same last year.

Pearl will settle in but I will need to check for dumped water, food, etc.

Bring your K-drill Ralphie.

Late ice fishing takes on a whole new meaning this year. My wager is that ice outs will be later than 2013.

Chicken math is a rough scenario! I'm more than flattered you offering sweet chicks to me. I recently have a higher than anticipated hatching egg conundrum.

We haven’t had any decent heifers yet... They have all been put of the angus bull and we don’t want any angus... We don have one heifer who is promising but we will see... I think we only have four heifers and two are out of the Angus... They are just too fine built..

This is an Angus sired heifer calf..

This is a SimAngus bull. You can’t beat these calves. That cow is 1700 pounds and the calf is 2 weeks old so you can see the growth these calves have.

Another SimAngus sired bull calf at 5 days old.

This is a SimAngus sired bull calf at 24ish hours old. The cow has the same dam as the cow in the first picture

A group of calves... Almost all of our calves were over 100lbs at birth this year. They are expected to gain AT LEAST 3lbs a day until they are weaned. Small bull calves usually wean off at 650lbs come fall with one or two pushing 800lbs... the smallest two will be kept back for bucket come fall..

I really like the cow, a good framed baldie, probably weighs around 1200 which is around where a cow should be for efficiency. The calf looks really nice so far, I haven't been out as much as I would like to lately. She looks like she is out of one of Brads bulls, and I like those 2 more then our other one.
