[linnettejane]

apple core?

 

[red]

Ooh, how cute and strong looking.  Mom looks like she's got a good udder and plenty of milk!  Just wondering, since I'm not a Shorty person, might the calf roan as he matures?

 

[Davis Shorthorns]

what was the BW on that guy?

 

[bcosu]

those jpj calves just have the look. looked at a yearling bull recently that was that same kinda red color and he had the same look too. are you gonna keep him a bull or show him as a steer?

 

[OH Breeder]

Nice lookin fella. Great udder on momma. This gives me hope as our first one is due the end of March out of JPJ and Primo heifer.

 

[linnettejane]

he was a healthy 89 lbs...

this is the cows third calf...she is absolutely the best mother...and her milk just gets better every year...

not sure about the coloring dori...sure hope so...

here's a couple more pics i just took...my little one loves him...she wants to call him popsicle...that will probably be his barn name, but not his registered name, lol....he will stay a bull as long as we have him...lindsays not old enough yet for the steer thing...was really hoping for a heifer as we are trying to build our herd back up again...have another jpj that was due yesterday, hopefully it will drop tonight...will post pics when it gets here...

Nice calf!!  I'm waiting on aJPJ calf right now too.  I bought a 10 Queens heifer on Hagie's sale last fall and I'm watching her on the "Barn Channel" right now.    Looks like she should calve within the next 24 hours or so.

Good Luck with your entire calf crop. Looks like its off to a good start!!

Very nice calf! I am expecting my first Proud Jazz calf in about 12 days and I'm excited for it to get here!

 

[renegade]

Good job! Nice calf!

 

[Davis Shorthorns]

[kanshow]

Nice calf!!

 

[DFSC]

Nice looking calf! He sure is a cutie. My jpj heifer has almost the exact same coloring.

thanks for all the comments guys...ive been so excited about this years calf crop...first time ive been able to ai in about 10 years...we moved and had a hard time finding someone willing to travel the long curvy mountain road to get to our place...but finally found a guy!  we did the cidir and sync thing and it worked out really well....anyway, thanks for the comments...

still waiting on the other jpj...she was due on the 26th...im hoping today is the day!

I want to use Jakes poud Jazz this year on a red money shot heifer. How well does he work on heifers?

 

[linnettejane]

personally dont know...i used him on a 4 and 8 year old...i think there are some members on here who are expecting calves in the upcoming weeks out of heifers though...im sure they will keep everyone posted as to how it goes...
