Today was weaning day. image Called the cows up to the corral, sorted off the calves, dewormed, banded the bulls. A couple of the heifers will stay on the farm for breeding. About 5 of the steers will be kept for butchering, and the rest will go to the sale barn in about 4 weeks to make the farm some fiat for the year. #farmstr #beef #proofofwork #grownostr

Ran three bulls this year, 2 Sim Angus and one Beefmaster So the blacks will mostly be Sim Angus or Balancer. And the reds will be from Red Angus cows or from the Beefmaster bull.

Two of the reds were my son's bottle calves he bought from a neighbor. They got sold yesterday. Of the 4 that are left, there's two each.

It's grey. Our grey calves usually turn to a light brown as they mature. They've got some Limosin influence from some of our older cows. They'll be bigger framed. According to our list he's a steer. Are you looking for breeding heifers or butcher steers?
Both. Right now I'm growing the heard and have a bull in but all i own is 4 females, so steers to finish would be great since its all my pork and lamb customers keep asking about.
