Gizmo calf

[red]

Our Gizmo calf came at about 11:00 Saturday night. He's a bull calf, roan & looks like a meat wagon. He did weigh 115# ( came from cow) but was born unassisted. Will steer him. Named him Lee!

Good for you. Looks like a nice one. Do'nt get to much in a hurry to steer the guy. You never know. he might just turn out to be a nice shorthorn plus.

At #115?  I can't say that I would hesitate to steer a calf that big, no matter how good he is.  It would be a little different if he were born in Canada.

Nice calf.

Great bone for a Gizmo, and a very nice calf. If you name one Stumpy even your pie won't lure me in!

You need to see cathy's cows. They are not little ladies. They all have some size to them.Nice cows.

I agree, 115 is big ....(but I know a few "club calf" sires folks are using that had all of that and more ). I must have missed that on the first post. My age is showing. I probably would steered him too.

sorry but Lee got steered last night. I agree he might have made a good bull but w/ that BW would have trouble selling him without lying & that's not going to happen.

Careful about using the name Lynn, Olson!!    A lot of people think I'm a female anyway until they meet me---then they're sorely dissapointed!!

My name is one of those that  can be used for both females and males as many names are now days.  I was actually accepted into college as a female and assigned to a women's dormitory.  I'll never forgive my mother for correcting the mistake before I got to see who my roommate was supposed to be!!

we are but I couldn't resist Elbee's sales pitch! The Joe calf was 75#'s. I'm going to use him on a Hard Core heifer.
