A few Hereford heifers

[Ned Jr.]

It's been quite awhile since I've posted any pictures. Here's some I took yesterday of a few of my bred heifers . They'll start calving in March.

So what's the deal with them who are they out of, who are they bred to?

Ned, as always your cattle looks great! I can't stop admiring the heifer in the fourth pic, just wishing she was in my pasure! Good looking stock!

Although I like the one in the second pic pretty well too.

Yes very nice group of heifer's!! I'd love too have them all in pasture. Please post when they have calved.

Beautiful pictures. Looks like you have not been affected by all of the recent calamities. Are you on the front range? North or south of Denver. Really nice heifers. Herefords are attractive cattle!

All the pictured heifers are out of CL 1 Domino 065X. They were bred AI to HH Advance 1098 then ran clean up with CO L1 Domino 847.

Sorry to hear that. We started getting rain in July and it hasn't quit yet. Problem is it always seems to come too late.

Those are some nice heifers! I wish I could see those mountains every day like you and 3way.....life couldn't get any better than that!

I don't guess I know the exact answer to your question but it does get pretty frigid on top. And it can be pretty cool up there in the middle of the summer too. Lots of wind up there at times. We get wind down here in the valley to. We're usually around 10 degrees cooler here than a the base of the mountains in the trees.

Very nice heifers.

About the only thing as close to being as pretty as a newborn Hereford calf is a stout, roly-poly bred Hereford heifer. Those girls are real nice.

Ned,
Do you see elk in those lower elevations?
