#11 Completes Delivery Season- 7/22/14

#11 was last to calve last year and is even later this year.  She had another bull- this time black and must have been born yesterday 7/22/14 because he wasn't going to stand still to be tagged. He will be #46 first time he goes through the squeeze chute.   She picked the same spot as last year also.  According to Grandaughter Remedy the calf's name will be "Boy".

Rot proof fence Posts

A side benefit of the oil industry in this State is the abundance of drill stem around.  We got 130 lengths to start replacing rotted wooden posts.

Breeding begins 7/4/14

I decided to do the first thirty days of breeding with a yearling cross.  Hopefully he will get the heifers.  The big bull calves were far too big for heifers this year.  #16 was the first I noticed bred on the 10th.
