DL - So that's what he is!!    (clapping) I had been trying to figure out his breed.  (dog) Gypsy - I do get homesick sometimes and a huge part of it is the animals.    We don't really farm much anymore, as it's getting so you have to be big to make it in grain and we just aren't.  Can't...

And finally the ones that are just too darn cute to leave out :D Love the white chinny chin chin Yum  ;) The cow isn't so pretty, but the calf is as cute as any :P Hello you Really cute face mark.....too bad for the evil eyes (they aren't the most amicable family) My Blue had a...

Now some of the calves I liked Heifer out of my best show heifer I had Another of mine that is not super, but I am pretty impressed with considering the Mom was supposed to be hamburger long before becoming a cow (then she got bred, had the chance to calve, and has now earned a stay) The...

As many of you know, my University is halfway across the country from my home and farm, so I don't get there very often  :-\  But last week I did :)  and by the beauty of digital cameras I was able to take hundreds of pictures (back in the film days my Mom always got mad at me for having more...

Poooooooo    (sorry if that is too dirty for the boards Red :P....but it's word association and Knabe made me think of it  ;D)

Wow when I saw that first picture I was surprised how much it looks like my pastures in Saskatchewan.  I guess not how I thought of Texas. I like that heifer with the 16 tag.

So did he tell you he was a Corriente breeder before or after you got married  ;D Interesting though.    She did have the proper horns when we first got her.  He did buy one later that doesn't seem as great, but she doesn't look like yours either.  Well in any case, this is one bargain that...

Jen the boots, or something like a nice coat, sounds like a nice idea.  You know those farm guys like to keep it practical, but that tends to make them leery to spend on themselves sometimes.

Red I just used my USB stick, as I didn't have a ton of stuff to transfer over.  I don't know much about the desktop models but I do about the same as you, and the Macbook, which is the low end vs the Macbook pro works just fine for me.  They all come with the same programs.

I think anything less toxic has gotta be a plus, especially with all these kids and their little pink lungs fitting indoors.

Well  long weekend or not, I'm taking my vacation now.... :D  Going back to the farm for a couple of weeks, to visit the cows and the parents.  Just thought I'd tell you all so no one would worry I went missing.  I'll probably come back with some pictures to show.

JS I realize most Mac users are (or at least seem) fanatical about their macs.  Now if it was like Totonto Maple Leafs fans (on I know I need a football example for you guys but I just don't know which one fits) where they stay fans of a crappy team just because they live there, they've been...

Well now see you've keyed in on another dream.....I want to take a Corriente, breed it to a belted Galloway, and see if I can't make myself a  checkerboard cow  (lol)

Yeah they seem to need pretty close management is what I've gathered.  Why they do better in Europe where the farms are small rather than over here.  Oh and apparently Europeans can do their own C-sections, rather than having a vet out.

Guess what we need is more team ropers.  Actually, that wouldn't work so well, as when you breed them angus, it's bye bye horns (thank goodness)

Yup exactly...for those of us that grew up eating nice red beef from our own animals....it doesn't taste like much.  But tastes are personal and so I think there is definitely a market for it.  Since branded beef is likely the way of the future, this one would be pretty easy. Farm boy...that's...

But then how come the sows never have the right number of teats?  One of the sows in for teaching labs this year had 18.....and nowhere near that many teats.

Oh sure....I guess I'll go embarrassing myself again.  You will laugh and Gypsy will cry, but hey, it's different Ok so my Dad is a bit of a bargain hunter at the bred cow sales.  Usually it just means something up there in years or in poor condition or something.  Well one day....3 cows...

Congratulations!    Do you have a picture or two.
