Second pic shows some chomping!

I'm starting to see deer pretty regularly in the plots. Since I don't really have much growing it gets hammered really quickly.

Newest members to the place. Should be fun!

You must have changed zones in the latest USDA map change?

Changed countries is more like it!

Yes, watusi. But I suspect the darker one has some longhorn in her. Good racks for 2yr old heifers.

I was thinking that pure line Watusi dont have any corkscrew to their horns. Cool looking cattle though.

I don't have a pedigree so maybe there is some longhorn in them. I think watusi have quite a bit of variation in both horn and hide.

We only sell on the hoof, but oh man do we like home grown beef! Marbling is where it's at!

Are the Watusi pets or food?

They'll be cows (my land and animals have to make money for me). We'll breed them and sell calves. Pets too though. I'll fence off a couple of acres below the house for them so that we can tinker. Plus I don't really like horns in the herd.

Just a thought here ......... I wonder if bucks can detect when a cow is in heat?? Live, walking buck lures, Cat??? !!!

Geeze I hope not! Otherwise we'll have a couple of pastures full of deer mixed in with the cattle as they cycle in for Sept drop dates!
If so could you imagine roping that red watusi and staking her down in front of a stand? I bet it'd be a wild ride!

Got close while on a run this morning and took nice pics. Cool birds!

The oldest is home for the holiday. Wanted to hunt so sent him to a stand while I did some chores, cut some corner posts for a new fence project. He had one stuck by the time I was back at the house. Great Thanksgiving!
