Winter update in Wyoming: 11 below last night (not including the wind chill)! Everything is moving pretty slowly this morning. Hay is disappearing much faster from the feeders - keeping those bellies filled keeps Moosters warmer in this weather. Starting the tractor ought to be a good time today!
A Belated welcome to our latest Moosters from Missouri: Last month we made the long trek to Missouri pulling a trailer that made our rig almost as long as a semi. A very long detour to get there and back (who knew that the flooding along the river last summer would still be an issue?). Six very nice cows, three very nice bull calves (soon to be steers), and two bulls destined for Tiny Twisters made the trip back to Wyoming in great shape. Can't really say the same for the two humans involved, but we made it! Here are a few of our latest additions:
That's SF Mulgwen and two of the bull calves. Neither belong to her, but they seem pretty attached to her anyway. She's a fine older cow with the most beautiful face, nicest build and amazing horns. We're hoping for a few red calves in her future.
Gladhour Rominy Reah - a very pretty girl with a super nice udder and another pretty face! She's polled and potentially homozygous polled at that! Seems like we've been trying to buy her forever and now she's here!
Gladhour Swallow - lovely horns and a great traditional Dexter look. Not the best picture by any means; it just doesn't do her justice.
At this point, we're sure they are wondering
what the heck with the weather!
