Hairball is the cutest calf ever. I guess this is the time of year you lose some sleep . Lucky for the herd that you are the midwife.. Good video. Pax.
That new calf part Highlander or part buffalo for shure ..maybe he is part beefalo be interesting to watched him grow up and see if he sheds that baby hair for shire what ever he is ..
@@FarmandHammer they look the same as most cattle. Just a bit more hair sometimes. But when butchered a beefalo a lot of the times will adopt the trait of the buffalo and have an extra rib. Meat is better for u too leaner. Only real way to tell what it is would be to pull tail hair and have it dna
That makes me miss my cows. Dad and I calved mama cows for a couple decades. We had some Brangus cross. Some Beefmaster. Those Brahma cross mamas are usually way more defensive of new calves, than Furball's mom.
Yeah I have been around some brangus in the past and they seemed to be a little more aggressive with new babies on the ground. I do love the beefmaster look though. That may be the direction I start heading toward.
What’s happened to that angry cow that lost her calf? Is she just a regular member of the herd? This recording had a cooperative captured cow to board onto the trailer.
She is still in the herd. She has calmed down back to normal and will let me get a couple feet from her before she backs off. I'll keep her until the end of summer and fatten her out on pasture.
Nice quiet cows. I appreciate that you obviously spend time in the field with them. Dad never kept a mean or wild cow around, either. At first because he had kids working them, and then, like you, he was working them by himself. Kudos! Couple of nice calves out there, out of some good "using" cows. Guess I'll follow along.
I try to walk around all of our groups at least twice a week. This group in particular I walk and move daily since they are new and needed to calm down. Mean or flightly cattle are dangerous. Especially when you are working alone like you said. Thanks for watching!
The old or cows with issues will be sold after they raise their calves. But the younger ones that raise a good calf will stay for another year if I am able to get the farm leased for another year.
A lot more early mornings and late nights! But once this new group is calved out, it will get much easier. The full time job throws a wrench into things haha
is the mother of that hairy calf part Brown Swiss that could explain the longer hair they sometimes had a bit longer then lets say a holstein, awesome video
Not sure what she is exactly but it does look like she has a little brown swiss mixed in. She was a cull cow I bought a month ago so I am not totally sure what she is or what she was bred to.
I know this sound dumb but I think you should tag all of your cows that you bought, the next time you work them would make it easy. If I did it I would start at one and keep going and if you keep any heifers out of them then right what cow they are and who there mother was on the tag. But anyway that calf did look shaggy. I hope everything goes good with the cows, with prices the way they are now you might make some money off of them this year. Good luck to you!
We used to tag every calf and keep a record book. But cows rip tags out, calves get missed and it ended up being more of a pain than it was worth. Since I have been helping out on the farm for the last 10 years I know every single cow we have and which calf is theirs, which ones aborted, which ones grew poor calves etc. I am with them everyday so I have gotten to know them over the years. I only keep my favorite heifers from the best cows.
