Yes she is. I think she was around 110 lbs last time she was at the vet. She has another 30-40 lbs to go. She is a sweetheart.

I picked up 20 worth of honey this afternoon. Thanks 😀

Thank you!

I really like the fall born calves, comparing them to spring calves,they just seem to grow better and a definitely more hardy.

We found the opposite with the steers anyway. The fall born hanging weight were on average 70lbs lighter at 2yrs old compared to spring born.

Well I know in April at the feeder sales my September, October born calves are within 20 pounds of spring born and I fed them 4 months less. More often than not when they group calves it is a mix of spring and fall born.

@@stevemench786 we started giving the momma cows about 1.5 lbs a day to see if it would cut back on the hay consumption a bit. We might grain the steers next winter.

Not while they are on the cows.. I do a month or so prior to sale date, wean and vaccinate and give them some Purina pre condition pellets,maybe 2 pounds per a day.

Cool video guys! we should make a lot of headway this year to get the area for the Cattle set up. I think we may just wait till the following years summer to get the cattle I just don't want to learn how to handle them in the dead of winter but if we have another winter like this years well it wouldn't be too bad. Wisconsin was also crazy. On another note we are expecting our first goat kids in 15 days! :)

Good luck with the goats! If you are getting weaned calves the fall wouldn’t be a bad time to get them.
