Weaning calves

Well it's that time. We weaned all the Jan and Feb calves. It's very weird to wean such a small group this year. Since dad got out of the purebreds last year it leaves my numbers much smaller. 26 bull calves averaged 751lbs and we left 14 as bulls for now. 22 heifer calves averaged 667lbs. I think probably with the smaller group of bull calves it may have helped our weights some as they are up almost forty pounds on the average over last year. The Muldanonda sire group is by far the stand out group at this point they averaged 780lbs and just look to be exactly like what we have been striving to produce. There is other sire groups that are good but just not enough in it to really compare. The two Centennial calves are stand outs and have made friends all summer. As well there are two Horizon heifer calves that are dang special. One we will be sellin in the Touch Of Class Sale.
We will not wean the second group of cavles till probably mid november and they will just go on maintaince raiton to go to grass again next spring. Then we will market that group of calves as two year olds.
