Norseman Kings Classic Lady ( Call Her Wynona )

 As I set here gathering information on my FFA Sales presentation I realize one thing; Wynona is all most one year old, and Lady is about to have her 3rd calf, my oh my how time fly's.

Norseman Kings Classic Lady (Wynona) weighed 83 pounds and Lady as always looked great she is a great cow and wonderful mother.

Wynona at weaning weighed 667 pounds.

Now I just wait for the next calves to hit the ground, now I am getting excited!!!

  Time goes so fast it is hard for be to believe that just one year ago JR weighed just 71 pounds, and now he is a yearling Bull.
   CCI JR Cherokee Classic - AORB Champion Bull at the Idaho JR Beef Expo.
   JR is a late bloomer I can't wait to see what he looks like at 18 months.

 

    My Cow/Calf pair also were Grand Champion AORB Cow/Calf (Cow/ASV Vilari 133-032 and Heifer calf/Norseman Kings Classic Lady) I call the heifer Wynona as a 3month old heifer she did very well she also won Resv. Champion AORB Heifer.
   My Black Angus Heifer BRA Ideal Brickhouse was Resv. in her in her class. After it was all said and done I was very pleased with how my cattle did at this show.
   The Idaho Jr. Beef Expo is a Black Angus show, this year they also had the Northwest Regional Jr. Hereford Show; there were a lot of beautiful cattle there. Congratulations to all the winning showmen and winning cattle.
      I had a great time and I will see you all next year. Hope everyone has a great summer.

JR. is Growing Like a Weed

 (CCI JR Cherokee Classic Reg# 1524773). JR. is now 9 months old  and growing like a weed.

 We still have snow on the ground here; but the weather was in the 20's so I thought I would take a few pictures.

 here is some rear views.

 

JR is the prodigy of BJR JR 107 he is cool, calm and structurally  sound.

What else could I have ask for in my first calf!!

I hope to take him to a couple of shows this year.

I can not wait for spring and for my next set of calves to hit the ground; I love calving season!!

I will post new pictures of JR. when he is a year old.

My First Educational Power Point

Today I finished my first educational power point for a 4-H work-shop that I organized on Beef Breeding.
The Work-shop includes my power point, and guest speakers. The guest speaker will give talks on, reading EPD & genetics, heifer and cow/calf nutritional needs, shots & vaccinations, and on setting a budget.

The fliers were sent out on January 1, 2013.

 The work-shop is free here is hoping that there is an interest in beef breeding.

This year one of my goals is to pass on as much information as possible to those interested in becoming a future cow/calf producer.

 Mom got a new camera just the other day, and We were giving it a test run. JR was a little hungry and not really into having his picture taken. JR is now 7 months old and growing everyday.

BJR JR 107 SON - CCI JR Cherokee Classic

This is my Cow ASV Vilari Reg# 1409839; I call her Lady. I got Lady as a six month old heifer and she was my 4-H breeding project. In this picture Lady is just about to give birth to her first Calf.

My Mom told me that I will always remember my first boyfriend, my first car, my first heifer and the first calf. I think that is most likely true about any first that happens in a persons life.

Because this is Lady first calf I set and waited for hours just in case Lady needed help; I am happy to say she did great; Lady said moo and her calf was there. I was lucky to be given straws to BJR JR 107 and  all I was hoping for was a healthy calf to hit the ground. 

On April 7 2012 Lady gave birth to bouncing baby boy (a healthy Bull calf)  I call him Junior (CCI JR Cherokee Classic Reg# 1524773).   

As with all babies all Junior did was eat,

Sleep, and poop!

But before to long he was up and checking out to new big world around him, and growing like a weed.

Here are just a few pictures; the days turned into weeks and the weeks to months.

June 2nd 2012 Lady and Juniors first show Reserve Champion Cow/Calf

Aug. 16th 2012 Grand Champion Cow/ Calf Pair - Junior was Grand Champion Bull

I will post new picture of Junior later. Check back and see how he has grown Junior is now almost 7 months and I need to take some new pictures Junior was weaned at 6months and weighed 640 pounds not bad for a 70 pound baby.
