New recruits

A cold weekend

One thing you must never loose sight of is that here, in Oklahoma the weather is always going to change.Don't like the day, never mind it will be different tomorrow.I thought that I had left the cold in Colorado, just goes to show you spring never really has sprung until after Easter arounf these parts.

So was the case this past weekend. As my youngest set off for fun at the lake, my oldest and I went to the local flea market and did a bit of shopping.

Yes, I did get a little small project to work on (in all my spare time) Ha Ha !

Seriously though, I did manage to snap a few pics at some of the new recruits for Spring.

These little ladies are longhorn heifers and though hard to get him to stand still, the black Angus bull is also a replacement for an older and retired Santa Gertrudis bull.

This little miss just wanted to say hello and I am thinking she was waiting for a hand full of protein cubes.

Very inquisitive and very interested in my camera.

Really, these little fellows are like big pets.

The same aged heifer, but has a head start literally on her horns than the first little girl.

In the longhorn business it is typically horn length and style along with color and coat that is a desirable trait for breeding.

Ladies first, bull to the back.

 A fine group of spring heifers kept and being weaned.

Some of these babies are definitely more interested in me or maybe the camera.



Then others........

Just want to get out of my way......

My view as we left the ranch and headed back into town.
