Yesterday was a really great day! Albert, Brianne, Tressa and I worked on fences and around the Ranch! We have 3 cows now - yeah! Brianne has 2 pregnant heifers and they hang out with our T-Bone. If you have gone to Fonda's blog, you were able to read about our great cattle adventures! The cattle have all settled in now and are taking over the horse pasture until we can fix more fences and move them into their area.
Albert and I are going to go into business with Brianne. We are going to change up our ranch name to include Brianne - so our new name will be The Last3 Goode Ranch! I thought it was catchy! :)
We want to raise pure bred Brangus - they are very hearty beef cattle for our area - heat tolerant as well as bug resistant! Gotta love genetics - Brangus are a mix of Angus and Brahmas!
I love feeding time. I have the cows trained to come when they hear my hitting the metal scoop around their food bowl. At first they were very nervous to be around us, now they are calming down and getting used to us.
One cow is due in January and one in March - I will be taking pictures - you can count on that!
Yesterday, I went out to feed and had Tressa holding Charley so that he could enjoy the moment. He was actually able to pet T-Bone, what a smile on his little face.
like i said before... i like cows much better than horses! horses scare me for some reason. now you have to change the name of you blog to incoporate the cows!
