Did you get any caught to speckle park bull you were thinking of AI to ?

 

[librarian]

Haven't tried it yet. I'm waiting for some shorthorn Galloway crosses that are not white to put it on. I have a black Galloway bull now so the odds should improve. I'm thinking if I put speckled park on something that is the already the white park pattern I will just get more white.
Funny, when I revived this thread my post from February 3 last year was where it left off...guess more of our memory cycles on hours of daylight than we realize.
I'd like to see pictures of other peoples farms and cattle...or barns or tractors or wind fences.

Not cows. But some of my sows and gilts. I enjoy the hogs. They are much hardier then folks give them credit for. I farrow in barns with no heat. No heat lamps. No farrowing crates. All but one of my breeding females go back to one sow. I'm learning about line breeding pigs. It's fun. This summer all the pigs will graze right along with the cows in one big group.

Just got a new LGD too. She's a Anatolian Sheperd x Great Pyrenese x Merrema. Tired of dealing with coyotes.

Some pics of my last week travel to inspect some Shorthorns.
The both animals are by ET from my cows to a new herd that is being started on next north state in Brasil.

From the driveway, we need rain but you sure can appreciate natures beauty when it happens.

Well out our way the wind is howling, the snow is blowing and it's just down right miserable outside... so I went through my pictures from this summer and here is one of them. One of our Limousin cows out on pasture in late summer. I could certainly be there right now soaking in the sun.

The little chica

On Valentine’s Day 1900 a cattle train from Enniscorthy failed to stop at the buffers in Harcourt Street Station, Dublin. Its momentum saw the train crash through the meter thick outer wall of the building and the engine was left hanging precariously above Hatch Street below. Miraculously no one was killed, although the train driver, William Hyland, had his right arm amputated at the scene.
