Looking very nice! Only thing that looks better than Hereford cows in fresh snow is Hereford cows in green grass!!
Super good looking cow in bottom photo, wish I had about a 1000 just like her!!

Takes a good engineer/surveyor with a better transit to shoot a line as straight as what exceptional breeders can do! Excellent bunkline of calves!!

Thanks for all the compliments! It makes it fun to post:-) Chris, Mike thinks retirement is really fine and does recommend it. However, I think that last week,he was about to rethink the decision of leaving his office , next to the boiler room.

That first picture you can literally here them walking down that gravel road... Don't know why but that's a cool sound. Peas In a pod is a good analogy - pretty impressive. Look likes there is a yellow pea in the pod. Is that one any different other than lighter hair? Anyhow hope you post pictures more often

Great pictures Mike and Jane, I always like viewing you posts. Seeing the cattle in person is a real treat. You can really see the years of dedicated breeding and selection showing up in these pictures. Hope to visit again sometime!!

Great looking cattle. Mine are not in that good of shape. The extreme cold and poor hay has taken a toll on them. Been feeding some extra which I never do to try and get them looking better.

Quote from ngr " Look likes there is a yellow pea in the pod. Is that one any different other than lighter hair?" There isn't anything different about the yellow ones. I personally love them. Probably because I remember my Dad getting so excited about those "good yellow" ones. Hence the mellow yellow term. A lot of the old timers thought that they were better keepers than the dark ones. They were quite popular in the olden days. I will try to give you a history on the really yellow calf, which might explain why he is yellow. This is his mother,D Miss Advance 102, a first calf heifer by D Advance 304 (Doc)  This is D miss Advance 311 the mother of 102 and the yellow bull"s grandmother  This is his great, great grandmother and the mother to 311 She is one of the original cows that we got from Dad.  and this is his sire D Advance 182 who is a SON of D Miss Advance 90,(one of the cows in the snow pictured above) who is also a daughter of D Miss Advance 311. Making D Miss Advance 311 both his paternal and maternal grand mother  Sort of fun!!! |

"Sure admire your talent behind a camera" Thanks, Quackingduck. I doubt that it is talent as much as it is pretty good subjects. I have taken enough cattle photos to know that talent can't make a sorry one look good, just better. But a good one is hard to make look sorry. "I like yellow too. So is he the only calf by 311 grandson/granddaughter. Does you doc bull put a hip like that in every one? Lots of fun!" Question from ngr.  This is D Advance 362.His dam , D Miss Advance 01 (she is pictured above with the bull) is a maternal sister to 311. His sire 974 (above with the cow) is a 3/4 brother to the yellow bull's sire, D Advance 182.(above) The hips on the cattle. As a whole the cattle have the good hips that you see in the bunk line up, however, there is a little variation. But with 100 years of linebreeding behind them, and the hip being one of the traits that Dad was a stickler on, we see a large majority of them with the good hip. |
