Hi Everyone -
Just surfing around tonight, found this forum, thought I'd sign up... and post an introduction and some pictures..
I'm from the east coast of Canada... Attached to Maine.. not sure if theres any folks from the 'great north' on hear, but say hi if you are. We have a small 20 cow/calf herd.. mostly pure Limo's even though they aren't registered. We started out with a mixed commercial herd and 2 pures.. haha now they've kinda all turned out to be pure. I do show, a bit. Just local 4-H.. didn't have the time this past year do to being away at college, but hoping for my last year this year I'll give it a go again and show the calves and a yearling probably. We only have about 100 acres of land, but also have a woodlot and all that fun stuff. And the classic canadian maple sugar camp.. so that's our spring time activity. Our cattle are in a tie stall barn during the winter as we dont have a run in that can fit all the cows during the winter, so that's why some of my cows have collars lol. Anyway, took some of these tonight. These are Feb-Apr calves in the pictures.. some from May June.. They just got turned out onto an aftergrass field of clover so that's why theres some messy backsides.. hope you don't mind. They'll probably be coming in for weaning at the end of October so. Let me know what you think.
Editted to add: I guess kid is the wrong word to use haha, as I'm an 'adult' now. I run a graphic design/photography business part time and I'm an autobody tech by day.. ha just to clear that up. sorry.
Cow/Calf 1 - This guy actually got stuck in a tree about 3 weeks back.. yup a tree.. playing around in the lower field where they have trees for shelter.. got stuck between 2 grees growing out of the same root spot.. got stuck right at his hips.. haha good ol Limo's and big back ends..
Cow/Calf 2 - The cow is the daughter of one of our original cows from about 18 years back now..
The whole herd.. well as much as would fit in the shot..
Our oldest cow we have... I think she's 13 now? She was the first daughter of another one of our originals.. Best calves out of that line. We've kept a lot of her daughters.
One of the Limi X's we have.. her mother has charloais (sp?) blood in her..
These are old.. but this was my bull calf I showed last summer.. we did okay, he was a March baby though, these were taken in August of 07.. He was fabulous during showmanship classes, but just wasn't developped enough for the bull classes.
