Fighting over alfalfa pellets I've been putting in their lick tub. I'm actually impressed! 2 weeks ago the older Bullseye was still letting the 2 little ones have the pellets if they got there first. I'd say this behavior today is a good drought monitor. Not that I needed one!!

A few photos from this nice morning. I was out to feed some penned bulls and caught Bee Kind's houdini act from one pasture to the next thru a loose spot in the old fence.
She's a very precocious heifer.
Check out my fence repair, gotta love that hay string always there in a pinch!

Feeling blessed this fine warm evening! The cows are finally grazing, the hawks are flying, the crickets are singing! It has been devilishly Hot; the grass is turning brittle where it stands; the greenest thing in the pastures is the ironweed running rampant thru the pastures. Fortunately, it does have fair protein value, in the tops.
This is my young herd; 1st calf heifers and bred heifers, except for Abigail. She's the cow with a lot of black on her shoulders. She's the wise one teaching them to come to my call and where to graze. Our sandy soil is officially dry, but all will be well. It has to be!

Guess what breed was the highest selling bull in Crockett Tuesday before last??!! My 9 year old British White bull, Laddy!
I brought his negative trich test report with me to be given to auctioneer when Laddy had his turn on the floor. I'm hoping he sold to buyer as a herd bull! What do you think?

Bandito is 8.5 years old, in fine shape and he's never seen a bite of grain. He has a current negative trich test and breeding soundness exam. He'll give you good bulls and heifers. Great choice as your heifer bull. Bandito is super easy to work with and he'd rather stay in Texas.

This is J.West's Arrighetti, about 18 months old. Sired by Laddy out of Candy, an elder Carter daughter in the herd. I asked Chatgpt to evaluate him. It was with very interesting result! Folks might think about giving that a try. I only use the current Free version. I can't post/ share the interesting chatgpt exchange as Meta doesn't allow this on Pages.

Was I surprised today! Yes I was! Emma Clare calved an unplanned beautiful heifer. Thanks to my daily notes I know she was sired by Brite Saxon, a young bull I've been raising to be a new herd bull here - he jumped the fence in October. Saxon clearly thinks I've waited long enough!
It is a Bandito linebreed, so I'm thankful all went well.

I just ran across this. It is full of my British Whites over many many years. Even photos I no longer have access to that Google removed from my old blog!

So much rain! But the cows were all clean and content today.
