Yes I fully agree. She was the result of a bred cow we bought when we first moved to the farm. We are trying to breed for smaller framed, easier finishing, slick hided red cows. Its just a painfully long time to transition and herd with culling and breeding. Especially when its such a small operation with little room for culling.

That's a good warning. Thanks for the fresh perspective

Energy in grass is primarily stored at the growing tips (or meristems) because this is where the most active cell division and growth occurs, allowing the plant to readily access the stored energy for new leaf and stem development; this energy is primarily in the form of carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis in the leaves, which are then transported to the growing points for utilization

I want to add. To any consumer that might be reading this, Blackfoot is not something that would hurt you unless you eat a cow that died from it and that would be very difficult to miss diagnosis because Blackfoot hits the whole herd all at once.

That's right after weaning. It comes from bare ground in shaded areas. They die in 4 hours after exposure. 😢.

Yeah they are a hodge podge of red/black Angus and herford. We are breeding them with a South Poll Bull, looking for smaller framed red hided cattle

@@eversba Sounds great...thanks! I just subscribed...great channel!

@@eversba Do your herefords or other breeds ever get pinkeye? I have communicated with others on you tube that have Hereford Cattle and they really don't seem to have pinkeye issues. I know at one time it was a problem...just curious. I know Herefords are extremely calm docile and tame animals.

14 acres

Yeah it was quite frustrating. But there is always a positive side to things. They helped me clean out the garden for fall planting.... just a few weeks earlier than I was planning

14 acres, which we subdivide anywhere from 21 to 75 daily paddocks depending on the time of year
