Some of Our Fall Calves

[chambero]

Got a few photos yesterday.  I'll get more in the upcoming weeks.  I'm very pleased with our fall crop of calves so far.  These calves are born last week of August and later.

Couldn't tell you what the breeding is on some of these yet, but most are AI.

Golden Child heifer out of our best Meyer grandaughter.  She looks great in person.  I think she's going to be sound also.

Yellow Jacket bull calf and Jimmy the Greek heifer calf.

Same Yellow Jacket calf.  I like him a lot.  Check out the video of Yellow Jacket on Kris Black's website.  He is a a great looking mature bull.  Anybody got some $$ burning a whole in their pocket?  Possession on him is for sale Saturday.

Heat Wave bull calf.

Some that wanted no part of having their pictures taken.  I missed 3-4 of our best black steers in this pasture.  They were in this group and ran like crazy when I walked over the hill and found them.  I've also got two Rocky Balboa bull calves in another pasture that are as good as anything we have.  One nice Hard Core and one good Tyson bull calf also.

PM Me on the price (heatwave heifer) and what is the black calf with the white on it's face? If it's a heifer let me know the price on it.

Can't tell a whole lot from the picture, but that Heat Wave bull calf is pretty exciting looking.

What is the birthdate of the yellow calf?  Where are these calves located?  Raising a few myself but always interested in a good one.  Thanks

The yellow calf was born Aug. 30.  We are located just east of Wichita Falls, TX.  We don't start pricing or trying to sell calves till right after Fort Worth at the end of January.  But if anyone is passing by on 287 we'd love to show them off.

Thank you for sharing and I think the calves look really good.  Did you have alot of experience with yellow jacket?  I really like the steers and heifers I have seen out of him, just not sure what to use him on.  I have seen some hairy ones, but in general what is the hair like on them?

 

[chambero]

No prior experience personally, but I've seen calves I really liked out of him for two years running - both black and yellow steers/heifers.  The particular calf I pictured is out of a Cunia son (Cunia x Foreplay's dam) and a commercial Angus cow. 

A friend of mine sold a white heifer out of him and a true Chi-Angus cow (I think that's what she is) for $7500 last spring in an auction setting (that wasn't run up).  Kris makes a recommendation on him in one of his current ads or website.  Only thing I've heard is just use him on clean fronted cows and ones that good and sound so they can handle the extra muscle he puts on.

I like the Yellow Jacket calf

I'd be interested in seeing the Rocky Balboa calves.

Great set of calves !

Here are some more photos I got this weekend.

Right now, I think my pick of our whole crop is this Golden Child steer.  He probably has more real muscle than any and is great on his legs.  Photos not great, but he's a very nice calf out of a Chi-Angus cow.  I've got another Golden Child steer that may be really good, but he has so much hair I can't tell if he's square enough in the hip or not.

Another photo of the Golden Child heifer I really like in person.  We'll show her.

This is a red Heat Wave.  I thought he was severely crippling on me on his right back leg.  We got them up late last Sunday to doctor a sick calf and I put this calf in the chute.  He's been kicked or had some injury because he has a softball-sized knot on his leg just below his flank.  He has finally started getting better.  I don't know if he'll ever be ok or not, but this is the thickest calf we've raised.  Out of a 12 year old commercial Sim-Ang cow.

Another picture of our Yellow Jacket calf.

Chambero,

The calves look good.  I really like the Yellow Jacket calf.  Looking forward to seeing them next month.

Nice set of calves, how do you like your Tyson? would like to see a pic

 

[chambero]

Our one Tyson calf is pretty nice little bull.  Nothing really wrong with him at all.  Probably not quite as stout as some of the Golden Child and Heat Waves, but I'm actually thinking of leaving him as a bull.  These photos aren't great, but here they are.  He's the second calf out of a Meyer grandaughter.

There's nothing wrong with his shoulders and his back is straight as can be.  He's just not posing in this last photo, but it shows you the bone and hair he's got.
