Bidding had not started.

New water pump

I'm pretty excited, hopefully get over to Glasgow next week!





Norm, leave it to the internet for confusion.. We(my dad aka the farm) haven't bought any replacements in over 10 years. Not worried about blood lines so much as this year dad is trying to expand and get our(his) cow numbers back up and we simply won't enough even replacement type heifers of our own. If that makes sense.






Critter I recently saw a pack of 4, the suppressor and new rifle are going into action soon!




What I would call a roan has white blended in to red or blue, etc..

To me a bay is a red/brown horse with a black mane and tail.

I personally don't own any land and lease all my summer grass. We feed various cattle(everyday) from November through May. It's a grind.








Guess what's for dinner?!





Rez mutt that show signs of JRT.






Market is trying to come back, probably really take off after we sell....lol





Yeah, if it's red leave it the shed, or if it ain't red leave it the shed? Confusing!






We are 100% black with a few black white face. The buyers like uniform sets of calves and we get along well with the black Angus. They handle our winter but you are correct, they don't like to move in the heat so we always do pasture changes as early in the morning as possible.






I don't mind, just a small time herd for me and that's all I need. Like I said my wife and I have 60 cows and 60 calves(static number) and zero farm debt. I trade labor for feed and our overhead is incredibly low which provides great profit margins. My wife was looking at my W2 and commented that I need a raise(I make $40k in wages and my parent's have offered to pay me more). I said no I don't, just think about all the money we save not buying winter feed, replacement heifers, the list never ends... I'm hoping to profit $80k on our mini herd, not many guys can clear that on 60 head of calves. But it comes at the expense of having very little free time.








hahaha!





Again, thanks all of you for the great pics and replies!




Dad and I got the calves sorted up without issue, gonna pick off replacements on Monday. Weather is beyond ideal.

Ours are nothing more than pets.
They are my wife's pride and joy. Never to be sold or on someone's plate.

My last cattle pics on my phone were from the summer

Ben, that boy is getting big!

Jake, and Gilbert a couple years back

West Virginia traffic jam. Randolph County near our old camp. Some of its private land some public but even the public is leased out for pasture ground until the middle of October. Cattle guards on both ends of this road .

We use to drive our cows as far as 15 miles.

Sam, and all, look at Kenny Angus for bulls.

Ricardo, you talking trail the cows 15 miles or haul them 15 miles?

If you trailed how long did it take you?

Some of these go in close to that. Anyone familiar ( I know a few on here might be) Circleville to the west side of the Sinks of Gandy. The rest are brought in on a mix of cattle trailers , stock trailers and road tractors

Good to see you back.

Yeah I think I'm in that part of life, where everything's moving too fast.


It's been a muddy shtt show all fall, the grounds only been frozen for 2 weeks tops. I think it hit 50 today. Safe to say it hasn't been great picture weather.

Feeder prices still seem pretty high around here. Good luck with the sale!

Back when, farmers wanted cows to hold down volunteer corn. That was when we drove them so far.

Ben dealing with mud and cows sucks!


I waited until a nice frosty white scene for the glamour shots.....lol


And yeah, blink and it's already noon, or month is gone.

Great picture
