Thanks to Jimmie West for this weeks picture. A really nice calf, I think it is by JWest's King Cole. Spends her time walking the cattle guard to get in the yard to her favorite Live Oak tree. A really nice calf.

This picture was taken late in afternoon on 1/4/06. Two young bulls trying to sort out who is going to be the boss. Neither seem to be very serious about it.

A really nice 3/4 heifer. I believe she will make an excellent cow. She is 2 days short of one year old in picture. She is very inquisitive and not at all shy about getting close enough to really look you and your camera over with a keen eye. This is not a telephoto. I was sitting on the ground inviting her in for a closer look.

This picture was taken on 12/21/05 about 3:30 pm. The pond in background when totally full usually covers about 2+ acres and now is barely a large puddle. Our part of Texas is in probably the most severe drought in our history for this time of year. Our last decent rainfall was July 4 & 5. Most all the large ponds are 8 to 10 foot below normal and the smaller ones are all dried up.

 

15 December 2005

Since it is winter time and I didn't get around to taking a current picture I dug this out of the archives. It was taken January 1, 2001. Those of you that came to our Show & Meeting in October 2005 may remember this area. It is just South of the pens where the older bulls were penned. Thanks to the ice storm several of the trees are totally gone.

This week's picture comes to you from "Balmy Minnesota". It is from Linda Hohenwald, she labeled it as "A Cute Baby Bull" and not a word about cold weather. Knowing how hardy these British Whites are I would guess that the coat of snow serves as a blanket. Thanks Linda.

A nice young half blood British White Cow, just weaned her second calf. Her sire is a Fullblood Tuli.










 

24 November 2005

Bull calf is same one that was in last weeks picture shown with his dam this week. Cow is a half sister to Popeye, a really nice size cow, about 1050 to 1100 pounds as she stands and 9+ years old. We think she will make a good donor cow, scheduled for her first flush in December. Picture taken 11/23/05 about 3:30 PM.

This nice bull calf is a result of JWest Cattle breeding. He is 79 days old in this picture and the cow is not his mom?? He is much too young to be for sale but Jimmie has a few older bulls that are. See them on her website: CLICK HERE

A nice embryo transfer heifer calf with her surrogate mom. A scene like this adds a little different color to your British White pasture but embryo transfer sure helps produce a few more British White calves quicker than conventional breeding. This one was produced with help from Mike Myers Reproduction Services

 

3 November 2005

This nice heifer was bred by Jimmie West at Colmesneil, Texas. She is a product of a half brother-half sister mating, her sire & dam were both sired by Halliburton Colonel. A pretty fancy little lady that has the makings of a great cow. A really good representative of the British White breed. 5 months old in picture.
