Review of Brooks Miniature Hereford Herd
Today was a day to move the last cow/calf pair over to the largest pasture with the rest of the herd. We are now up to 20 head total which is our largest number ever. Now the question is “Too big of herd for land we run? Anyone want some beautiful registered heifers in about 6 months?”
Decided to snap a few photos and post.
Our 5th 2013 calf and another heifer! It’s the year for heifers! 4 of out 5 this year! Guess we’ll be selling more heifers than beef 2014.
The cow herd and babies. 8 moms, 5 2013 calves, and 2 summer 2012 surprise steers
A nice side photo of a 2012 steer that will sell this fall.
A photo of our bull Justin and 3 of his 6 2012 steers. We just need to keep him away from his girls till around July 5th.
The herd is looking good and grass is looking good too. All of this spring rain will help keep the pastures lush!
Enjoy the holiday weekend and Thank a soldier for the Freedom we have!
Mom and dad have lots of pasture going to waste if you were looking for pasture. They used to run 20 ewe lamb pairs and two horses on about 5 acres but now down to one horse who won’t even touch the back fields. They don’t want the responsiblity of their own livestock in their retired years. Let me know if interested.
Sara Leonard thanks for the offer and idea. Let us talk it over and then contact you or them.
How much for the little calf. – say that John Belushi in the Blues Brothers. I could and would like to have some here. Are they used to electric fences? How many do you want to get rid of?
Here is what we are considering sell with no real prices set yet.
Oops hit return too fast! We have 5 2013 calves that it will be about 6 months before we wean. We have 6 steers right now and are considering selling the two summer surprises and it would be say Feb 2014 or after before they are ready to process. Course hit us on the right day and all are for sale! Basically we are open to what interest others have.
give us price for each type. i think we could use the youngest ones and might take four.
