Always good to see those babies drop! That is a lot of Broom Sage... do you bushhog it down or just leave it? It's a good thing we have some nice weather for December here in TN this year!

Bush Hog it. I've put tons of lime on it and I can't get rid of it. Soil tests are good. I don't know what to do.

If your soil tests are good (PH +6), the best thing you can do is cut it down to nothing then drill in a good pasture blend like Fescue, Orchard Grass, Timothy, and Clover.CCCowman said:

The best time to drill seed here in Middle TN is late Fall. I have seen success with a Spring planting but Mother Nature has a lot to say about that. The weather here in Spring can really set you back. Good Luck!CCCowman said:

Good looking calf congrats, love seeing those babies, especially when they get their feet under them, they are BIG cows, and so comical!

I had my first of this year 2 days ago. Had to give mama a lil help. Shes a heifer and probly my favorite.
She couldnt get his big ol head out. I got home from my day job and she had evidently been at it a lil while. Got my rope and went to work. Pull, mama push, pull, mama push. We got it! Mama was down for about half an hour. Nice when they are calm enough u can help in the field. Had a few gawkers. None of em offered to help me. Just nosy...

Yeah. Hes an interesting lil mutt. Hes got some white on his belly too. Dad is supposed to be angus w a lil sim. Mama is angus w a touch of chi. I've got 2 more heifers bred to that bull. Gotta watch em. He is not heifer friendly evidently. Both bull calves I've got out of him have been whoppers. I've got 1 heifer calf out of him that was medium size.
Theres papa on the left.

Using crossbreds can be tricky to predict what they will pass on.

Honestly I was hoping for a bit more white face on em. The last 2 are solid black.
They should sell ok. They grow good. Healthy and alive. Healthy and alive. So far so good...
