The Char's.
I had a little bit of free time Saturday morning, so I headed out to look at the Charolais pairs and take a few pictures. Clint has them separated from the main Double M herd right not so he can turn out Charolais bulls (only) with the cows.
They're a cute little bunch of calves - and I especially enjoyed getting to see Lolita.
:)
I haven't hardly taken any pictures of the Charolais or Double M calves at all this spring/summer. Now that we've slowed down a bit in our personal life (I always say that July is our "vacation" month), hopefully I can get out a bit more to do that.
If you have cattle - how are your calves looking? Are you getting ready to pre-condition? Or will you just wean and ship this year with the high prices?
Darcy,
ReplyDeleteI like the char picts. We have neighbors that breed to char bulls and I like to see the smoky colored calves.
How are our calves looking? J is our cattle checker. If there are problems he is the man. So, I haven't been around to see the calves in a while. We are moving the young group of pairs this morning.
I will say the yearlings are looking good.
We pre-condition in September or late August,it just depends on the year. If we start dealing with dust pneumonia or something we will pre-condition earlier vs. wait to September.
The last few years we have done both. We ship a couple loads of big steers off the cow and wean the rest. This is an unbelievable cattle market!
Love every time you post pics of the chars.
