I have some updated pics of the calves. They aren’t standing the best in some but it’ll give you an idea of how they are growing. (It’s hard to get them to cooperate when you have three kids and three dogs with you too!)

1) L: Abby Jane’s bull calf (Popper) R: Sydney’s bull calf (Alex) (Popper is 6 weeks older! Shows that his mama doesn’t make much milk and why she’s on the cull list!) Moxie is in the background. This is her first year calving so she’s getting fed to supplement.

4) In the hay feeder this morning. He’s out already. I wish I’d been able to get a pic when his head was up and looking at me!

Reggie left with his 4-Her on Friday evening.

We’ve been working with Jordan and Mickey (Rockstar.) Jordan is still for sale. Mickey should be leaving any time.

Heifers are being worked too. They are all doing well but Indy. Her attitude may be a one way ticket to the sale barn.

Indy is the only one standing. The other girls are much more relaxed.

Another 4-Her also has this dude hanging out at our house. I castrated and vaccinated him last Sunday. They aren’t in a hurry to move him so I guess he’s staying for now. Lol

I thought (way back a ways) that Indy was one you were really thrilled with/wanted to keep? :hu I guess no one really needs a "hyper" or non-relaxing cow though...

@Latestarter the plan was to keep Indy from the get-go. We handle ours a lot and she isn’t settling down. She gets a bit longer to get with the program but won’t take a chance since the kids spend so much time in close proximity to the cattle.

She can be borderline aggressive and can be sneaky about her attempts to kick, jump/lunge toward the person leading her, has stepped on my foot, snorts when given her feed ration, refuses to drink when on lead, jumps around in general, fights her tie, etc.

The heifer we are breaking for a 4-Her hadn’t hardly seen people and has gotten the same treatment since they are together. She’s the dark blue roan and she’s really close to being a puppy dog. Indy is just high strung and we have to decide if she will chill or be a danger.
