I got the pictures taken of the older bulls before it started raining again. I'm pleased with the results and the performance of our new digital camera. The Panasonic model we have is much faster than the cameras of yesterday. I was able to snap photos in quick succession without any waiting.

I noticed yesterday evening that the bulls had been playing and had gotten mud all over them even though they are running in a grass paddock. I'm glad the pictures are taken!

I haven't taken a picture of our young herdsire, CW 1037 Newest Design 315, yet. He is running with the fall calving sale cows and is in his "work clothes" as people like to say. It looks like he'll be an easy keeper. He'll turn two in February.

We used him naturally and artificially last spring and should have quite a few calves on the ground in about five weeks. Sixteen of the sale cows have been exposed to him.

I've been remiss in posting news this summer and fall, so I'll quickly update you on the 2007 Production Sale progress and address other topics a little later.

We've selected 35 bulls and 40 females for our 41st Production Sale that will be held on March 31, 2007. There is 1 two-year-old, 12 18-month-old and 22 yearling bulls in the sale this year.

I don't have the breakdown of the female portion of the sale in front of me, but there are some young and proven cows to choose from. There will be about an equal number of fall calvers and spring calvers offered this year. Many will be bred back to our new herd sire CW 1037 Newest Design 315. I'll have more to say about him in later postings.

It is misting here right now and I've got to go do the evening feeding before it gets any worse.
